The Role
Trackonomy is looking for an experienced payroll professional to provide centralized review, reconciliation, and reporting across our global payroll operations.
This is a part-time, highly flexible remote position designed for an experienced payroll professional who enjoys detailed analysis and problem-solving and wants meaningful work without a traditional full-time schedule.
Trackonomy has approximately 700 employees globally, with payroll administered locally across multiple countries through internal teams, payroll providers, PEO/EOR partners, and external accounting firms. This role does not process payroll. Instead, you will provide the independent review and reporting layer across those payrolls.
Your objective is to help us confidently answer three questions every month:

• Did we pay people correctly?

• Did we pay the correct employment-related costs?

• Can we explain what changed?

You will review payroll results, reconcile activity to employee and compensation changes, investigate unusual variances, identify errors and potential overpayments, and work with HR, Finance, local teams, and payroll providers to resolve discrepancies.
You will also own our consolidated global payroll reporting, giving HR and Finance a reliable view of payroll costs across countries, entities, and providers.
Success in this role means creating a disciplined global payroll review process that catches errors, explains payroll movement, improves controls, and provides leadership with accurate and timely payroll information.
Experience and Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in payroll, payroll accounting, payroll audit, payroll reconciliation, or a closely related field.

• Strong experience reviewing payroll registers, reconciling payroll activity, and identifying discrepancies.

• Solid understanding of gross-to-net payroll, employer taxes and contributions, deductions, bonuses, commissions, and other payroll-related employer costs.

• Advanced Excel and/or Google Sheets skills, including pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations, and variance analysis.

• Demonstrated ability to analyze payroll data, recognize unusual activity, investigate discrepancies, and follow issues through resolution.

• Ability to reconcile payroll changes to hires, terminations, compensation changes, bonuses, commissions, and other employee activity.

• Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail.

• Ability to organize and consolidate data received from multiple systems, providers, and formats.

Preferred Skills

• Experience reviewing payroll across multiple countries, legal entities, or payroll providers.

• Experience with global payroll reporting and reconciliation.

• Experience working with Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and/or Employer of Record (EOR) arrangements.

• Experience reviewing payroll provider invoices, employer taxes, statutory contributions, and other employment-related costs.

• Familiarity with payroll accounting, accruals, and month-end close processes.

• Experience reviewing bonuses, commissions, or other variable compensation.

• Experience identifying payroll overpayments, duplicate payments, provider billing discrepancies, tax or contribution errors, or other payroll-related exceptions.

• Experience developing or improving payroll controls, reconciliation processes, or reporting.

• Experience working in a high-growth, international, or decentralized organization.

You do not need to have processed payroll in every country where we operate. We are looking for someone who understands payroll well enough to recognize when something does not make sense, knows what questions to ask, and can work with local experts and providers to determine the answer.
What You'll Accomplish
In your first several months, you will begin maintaining the monthly review and reconciliation process across our global payrolls and organize payroll reporting from multiple countries and providers into a standardized structure.
You will:

• Maintain consolidated global payroll reporting that enables HR and Finance to understand total payroll costs, significant month-over-month movement, and the business drivers behind those changes.

• Identify and investigate payroll discrepancies, including incorrect or duplicate payments, payments after termination, compensation discrepancies, employer tax or contribution issues, workers' compensation classifications, and payroll provider or PEO/EOR billing discrepancies.

• Establish a process for documenting exceptions, quantifying their financial impact, coordinating corrections or recoveries, and identifying recurring issues that require stronger controls.

• Improve the consistency and reliability of global payroll reporting across multiple systems, providers, countries, and entities.

• Partner with HR, Finance, local teams, and external payroll providers to investigate and resolve…
