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 discrepancies.
• Provide clear, timely explanations of payroll variances and employment-related costs to support financial reporting and decision-making.
• Over time, you will become a trusted payroll resource for HR and Finance—the person who can independently review the data, identify when something doesn't look right, and provide a reliable explanation of what we spent and why.
• Why Trackonomy?
• Meaningful Impact

This role has a direct and measurable impact on the business. With payroll representing one of our largest operating expenses, strong review and controls can identify costly errors, improve financial reporting, and prevent recurring issues.

You will have the opportunity to build a global payroll review and reporting process that becomes an important control for both HR and Finance.

Flexibility

This position is intentionally designed as a part-time role requiring approximately 40 hours per month.

The role is fully remote within the United States and offers substantial flexibility in when the work is performed. You will need to meet established monthly payroll and Finance reporting deadlines and occasionally coordinate with colleagues in different time zones, but this is not a traditional 9-to-5 position.

We care about accuracy, responsiveness, and results—not where you sit or whether you work traditional office hours.

Growth and Development

At Trackonomy, your growth is driven by your capabilities, passion, ownership, and results. As part of an early-stage, high-growth company, you will have opportunities to take on diverse responsibilities, learn directly from experienced leaders, and expand your role as your impact grows.

We believe talent and execution matter more than hierarchy. Team members are encouraged to explore new challenges, collaborate across functions, and continuously develop new skills.

Ownership and Collaboration

Our culture isn't something you join—it's something you help build. Every employee plays a meaningful role in our success and contributes to shaping our products, processes, and future. We value collaboration, knowledge sharing, accountability, and a strong sense of ownership.
