AP/Payroll Manager

I’m currently partnering with a well-established, privately held organization in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that is seeking a Payroll/AP Manager to join their team.

This is a highly visible role responsible for owning the full payroll process while also overseeing accounts payable operations and process improvements. The ideal candidate enjoys working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.

Key Responsibilities:

• Process bi-weekly payroll for 40+ employees

• Manage benefits administration, 401(k), HSA/FSA submissions, and payroll-related reporting

• Handle payroll journal entries, bonus accruals, W-2s, audits, and labor allocations

• Oversee AP operations, payment runs, vendor setup, positive pay, and 1099 preparation

• Drive process improvements and support special projects across accounting functions

What We're Looking For:

• 5–7+ years of payroll and accounts payable experience
• Experience managing payroll from start to finish
• Strong understanding of benefits administration and payroll accounting
• AP leadership experience with a focus on process efficiency
• Sage Intacct, APS (or similar payroll software), and advanced Excel skills preferred
• Comfortable working in a smaller office environment with broad responsibilities

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, autonomy, and being a key contributor within the accounting team.
