• 1–2 years in payroll, accounts payable, or accounting support
• Solid Excel skills
• Real attention to detail — this is work where small errors get noticed
• Ability to keep compensation information confidential
• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree a plus
• ADP payroll or Epicor ERP experience is a strong plus — if you have used either, say so in your application
