Job description

The ego-light Payroll Specialist who joins Strategic Solutions Inc in Racine, WI will inherit clean systems and an appetite for better ones. The headline is $71,000 - $94,000, but the story is ownership — finance work you steer at Strategic Solutions Inc after just 3 years.

Key Responsibilities

• Forecast working capital tight enough to avoid a hands-on cash crunch


• Own grant compliance so Strategic Solutions Inc never returns a restricted dollar


• Carry the contract payroll run from gross calc to filed tax deposit


• Reconcile general ledger accounts and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner


• Review contracts and invoices for accuracy before payment release


• Track grant funding, restricted accounts, and compliance reporting


• Reconcile merchant fees against statements that never quite match

What You'll Bring

• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through


• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own


• A history of leaving finance processes better than you found them


• A proudly-imperfect attitude and eagerness to learn new skills


• A Racine network, or the hustle to build one from scratch


• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
