Job description
Client Payroll & People Services Manager
At Virtual Partner Advantage, you're not just running payroll — you're helping care for people. We don't just process numbers. We create peace of mind. We build trust. We support lives.
If you believe in careful, meaningful work done with integrity — and you want to do it alongside people who treat you like family — then you may have found your place.
About the Role
As Client Payroll & People Services Manager, you'll wear many hats — payroll specialist, people-services steward, compliance guardian, and client partner. This is a high-responsibility, high-impact role. You'll ensure every paycheck is accurate, every record is secure, and every team member feels valued. You'll also serve as a trusted liaison between clients, internal teams, and employees — helping keep our payroll and HR services smooth, transparent, and caring.
Payroll, Accuracy & Compliance
Process payroll: verify time entries, calculate hours (regular, overtime, PTO, etc.), verify deductions/benefits, run pay cycles.
Audit and verify payroll data for accuracy and confidentiality.
Prepare and distribute pay statements, tax documents, and any required agency filings.
Reconcile payroll liability accounts, benefit invoices, and monthly reconciliations.
People Services & HR Administration
Manage new-hire paperwork, terminations, transfers, promotions.
Handle confidential employee records and benefits administration.
Assist with employee inquiries about pay, benefits, and deductions with clarity, respect, and empathy.
Support HR processes: onboarding/offboarding, status changes, and compliance documentation.
Client & Internal Collaboration
Provide exceptional service to clients, employees, and internal teams.
Communicate proactively — ensure deadlines, compliance, and clarity for all stakeholders.
Partner with accounting and finance teams for audits, reporting, and reconciliations.
Leadership & Culture Stewardship
Lead by example — demonstrate integrity, ownership, and accountability.
Support a culture of trust, kindness, and mutual care.
Help maintain VPA's values: integrity, service excellence, continuous learning, and servant leadership.
Who You Are
You'll thrive if you are:
Experienced — 2+ years (or more) in payroll, HR-payroll services, or similar roles.
Detail-oriented and disciplined with numbers and compliance.
Trustworthy and discreet — handling sensitive employee and financial data with care.
Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
A strong communicator — kind, clear, and professional in conversations with clients, team members, and vendors.
A team player who also works well independently.
Comfortable with payroll/HR software and adapting to systems.
Accountable, values-driven, and committed to doing work with excellence and heart.

Full health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
Life insurance & disability coverage
Paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave
Flexible scheduling when business allows — because life doesn't stop at the office
