Payroll Administrator

iRiS Recruiting Solutions
Milwaukee, WI Full Time
POSTED ON 6/18/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/17/2026

We’re partnered with a stable, long-standing organization adding a Payroll & Accounting Administrator to their team.


This is not a plug-and-play payroll role. It’s built for someone who wants ownership, stability, and work that actually uses their brain.


Why people take this role:

  • Real ownership – you run payroll across multiple entities, not just a slice
  • More than processing – GL entries, accruals, and analysis behind the numbers
  • Stability – established company with a long-term mindset (not constant change)
  • Variety – different entities, systems, and problem-solving every week
  • Visibility – work directly with finance, HR, and leadership


You’ll still own full-cycle payroll (multi-state some international coordination), but the differentiator is the accounting analytical side and the impact you’ll have internally.


What they’re looking for:

  • 5 years of payroll experience (multi-state)
  • Strong accounting mindset
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • ADP Workforce Now is a plus


If you want a role where you’re trusted, challenged, and not doing the same thing every day, this is worth a conversation.
