    Join an Employee-Owned CPA Firm
    Kirsch CPA Group is an employee-owned CPA firm seeking an experienced Payroll Specialist to support small and mid-sized business clients with payroll processing, payroll tax compliance, multi-state payroll, agency notices, and year-end reporting.
    We believe employee ownership creates accountability, collaboration, and long-term success. Eligible employees have the opportunity to participate in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan / ESOP and share in the firm’s growth.
    This role is ideal for a payroll professional who wants meaningful client relationships, and a compliance-focused payroll role that values accuracy, judgment, and service.
     
    What You’ll Do
    • Process payroll for multiple small and mid-sized business clients
    • Ensure compliance with federal, state, local, and municipal payroll regulations
    • Support multi-state payroll and remote employee payroll compliance
    • Prepare and support payroll tax filings
    • Register clients with applicable payroll tax agencies
    • Handle payroll tax notices, agency correspondence, and resolution support
    • Prepare W-2, W-3, 1099, and year-end payroll forms
    • Review benefit and fringe benefit taxability
    • Maintain accurate payroll records and documentation
    • Answer client payroll questions clearly and professionally
    • Collaborate with CPAs, accountants, and advisors on payroll-related issues
    • Support payroll-related general ledger entries and reconciliations as needed

    • Bookkeeping or payroll accounting experience
    • QuickBooks Online experience
     
    Why This Payroll Role Is Different
    This is not a high-volume payroll processing job. At Kirsch CPA Group, Payroll Specialists are trusted resources for clients and internal team members.
    You’ll have:
    • Fewer clients and deeper relationships
    • Compliance-focused work, not just data entry
    • Direct collaboration with CPAs and advisors
    • A professional, supportive team environment
    • The opportunity to be part of an employee-owned firm
    If you are coming from a payroll bureau, PEO, CPA firm, or in-house payroll role and want more balance, respect, and meaningful client work, this could be a strong fit.
     
    Benefits That Matter
    • Competitive salary
    • Medical, dental and vision insurance with coverage starting on your first day (minimum 30 hours/week) 
    • Eligible for ESOP/ employee ownership opportunity 
    • Hybrid work options
    • 8 paid holidays and generous PTO (prorated for part-time team members)
    • HSA with employer contributions
    • Life insurance and disability coverage
