    Robert Half Management Resources (Saddle Brook, NJ)


    Description

    A global consumer products company based in northern New Jersey is currently seeking a Payroll Tax Accountant to support a large-scale cleanup project as a result of a conversion to the UKG payroll platform. The Payroll Tax Accountant will partner with the Payroll Manager, and will specifically be focused on assessing the current process for managing payroll tax withholdings, identifying discrepancies, and making the corrections so as to ensure compliance with state and local payroll tax laws. Additionally, the Payroll Tax Accountant will review data and files in the legacy system (Ceridian Dayforce) to identify where the mistakes occurred. The ideal Payroll Tax Accountant will have prior experience working in larger corporations where payroll is processed in multiple states, and will have experience ensuring payroll tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
