Job description

Growth Solutions is wagering $69,000 - $97,000 on a Payroll Specialist who treats accuracy as the floor and insight as the goal. Look past the title and you'll see $69,000 - $97,000, a MO base, and a mid-level role that asks you to lead, not just execute.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and MO tax regulations
• Forecast working capital tight enough to avoid a delightfully-weird cash crunch
• Process payroll, expense reports, and vendor payments accurately
• Draft the board deck that turns numbers into a decision
• Reconcile equity rollforwards so the cap table never argues with the books
• Knit Leadership pipelines into the close so data lands pre-validated
• Where most mid-level roles stop at reporting, this one digs into the why
• Carry the mid-level budget reforecast through three rounds of leadership review

What You'll Bring

• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
• Cross-functional ease, from SOX Compliance engineers to Consolidations marketers
• An ego-light bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
• Proven aptitude for Cross-Functional Collaboration, ideally near Independence, MO
