Payroll Accountant
Meridian, ID | Direct Hire | $75K–$100K + Bonus

Are you the person everyone turns to with payroll questions, and do you also love closing the books? This role lets you do both.

CV Resources is hiring a Payroll Accountant for a growing, employee-owned organization in Meridian. You'll own payroll for a 600-person, multistate workforce and support the corporate accounting team with close, reconciliations, and reporting. It's a great fit for someone who wants to be the payroll expert while still staying sharp on the accounting side.

Why this role stands out

• Make your mark: You'll play a lead role in a payroll system upgrade and help shape how payroll runs going forward.
• Build ownership: Employees can earn an ownership stake over time, in addition to a 401(k) match and profit sharing.
• Grow your career: Mentorship, education reimbursement, and a collaborative team that invests in your development.

You might be a fit if you have

• 5+ years of hands-on multistate payroll experience
• A solid accounting foundation, with experience in journal entries, reconciliations, and close support
• Strong knowledge of payroll tax and compliance requirements
• A detail-oriented, deadline-driven approach and the discretion to handle sensitive information
