Skills

Hyperion

Job description

Cisco is bringing on a Payroll Specialist to strengthen controls, streamline Hyperion, and sharpen financial reporting. Here’s the long and short of it — Cisco pays $61,000 - $83,000, trusts your 5 years, and lets you own the finance call.

Key Responsibilities

• Validate revenue recognition in line with current accounting standards
• Reconcile payroll liabilities so the NC filings never bounce
• Watch the burn rate and sound the alarm a quarter early
• Maintain the chart of accounts and ensure consistent coding
• Own the $61,000 - $83,000 compensation accrual and the math behind every line
• Forecast headcount costs and partner with HR on compensation planning
• Build cash-flow models that hold up under a spirited-and-grounded stress test
• Support system migrations and automation of finance workflows in Greensboro

What You’ll Bring

• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a part-time project
• Working familiarity with part-time schedules and team norms at Cisco
• Fluency in Hyperion earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
• The discipline to document while it’s fresh, not after it’s forgotten
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam

Cisco is Greensboro, NC’s answer to a finance industry grown lazy, run by a gloriously-unglamorous team that still cares about Financial Reporting. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Emotional Intelligence work, not the human behind it.

You get $61,000 - $83,000, a growth runway, a mentor, full benefits, and a flexible Greensboro, NC setup, no fine print, no catch.

Still hiring, still current, still waiting for someone like you.
