Payroll & WIP Analyst

Location: Tempe, Arizona

Established and growing specialty contractor in Tempe is seeking an Analyst responsible for Payroll Processing and Job Cost Reporting to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for a Payroll Professional interested in an expanded role, or career advancement in the construction industry.

Responsibilities include weekly payroll processing for our main Union entity, and bi-weekly processing for a small but growing non-Union startup. We use Foundation ERP synched with Foundation Mobile App (for time capture by employee & job), and Payroll4Construction (Foundation’s integrated payroll processing service). After payroll is processed (by mid-Wednesday), responsibility shifts to preparation of the weekly Work-In-Process (WIP) report for weekly Teams review with management, and other Accounting and reporting duties. Role reports directly to the Controller and will have Month-end Close duties such as Payroll Accruals, reconciliation of Payroll Liability accounts, and will assist with annual Budgets and Audits. Need someone sharp, strong in Excel, with good organizational, time-management, and communication skills. Construction industry, job costing, Union Payroll, or Foundation ERP experience a plus, but willing to train.
