I’m looking for a reliable assistant who can take full ownership of three core areas of my back-office work: 1. Run our semi-monthly payroll in Paychex, ensuring hours, deductions, and direct-deposit details are entered accurately and on time. Familiarity with Paychex’s reporting features will be essential for pulling post-run reports and reconciling totals against our bookkeeping. 2. Keep our day-to-day data flowing smoothly. This means entering new-hire details, updating employee records, and recording expense reimbursements in the same Paychex dashboard or in the spreadsheets we use for tracking. 3. Provide light but consistent administrative support, mainly: • Monitoring a shared email inbox, flagging high-priority messages, and drafting concise replies or forwarding to the right teammate. • Formatting, proofreading, and distributing internal documents such as offer letters, policy updates, and meeting minutes. Accuracy, confidentiality, and clear communication are non-negotiable. If you already know Paychex and enjoy keeping operations tidy and predictable, you’ll thrive in this role. Quick turnaround and proactive status updates will be how we measure success.
