• You’ll perform payroll and commission reconciliations, including support for year-end activities.
• You’ll partner with VPs and sales leaders to resolve commission inquiries and provide clear explanations.
• You’ll maintain and enhance Excel-based models used for commission calculations and analysis.
• You’ll support budgeting and reporting related to payroll and commission expenses.

Skills and Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive payroll, commission, or finance-related experience.
• Strong Excel expertise, including VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, pivot tables, and SUMIFS.
• Experience working with commission-based compensation structures.
• Background in payroll, accounting, or financial analysis.
