• Provide supplemental Human Resource support related to the Accounting department: recruitment, hiring, employee relations, benefits & leave administration, personnel records, and related Company 'best practices.'
• Process and occasionally troubleshoot the team's biweekly payroll
• Advise and strategize with team leaders at the location/station to ensure budgets are maintained
• Support as requested by the regional controller

We think your background should include:

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics, or related field
• Experience with payroll and General Ledger duties
• Advanced Excel skills: VLOOKUP, functions, conditional formatting, pivot tables/charts, formulas, VBA & Macros
• Experience collaborating across departments on projects
• Experience in accounting, payroll, personnel, and employment matters, with a focus on confidentiality
• Experience with ERP systems like Oracle or SAP
• Experience in the broadcast industry is a plus!
