- Support annual statutory audits, internal compliance, and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) testing by maintaining clear documentation and robust internal control environments
- Assist with expense report reviews (Expensify), employee record maintenance in NetSuite, and participate in month-end/quarter-end/year-end closing procedures
Flywire supports more than 5,300 clients across global education, healthcare, travel, and B2B industries, with diverse payment methods across 240 countries and territories and more than 140 currencies. The company has over 1,400 global employees representing more than 40 nationalities across 15 offices worldwide.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in payroll administration (experience in multi-country/international payroll or SaaS/FinTech environments is a strong plus)
- Practical experience with cloud ERPs (NetSuite preferred) and major payroll engines (ADP Workforce Now, ADP Celergo, or similar global vendors)
- Solid foundation in labor law, social security, and local tax compliance for key jurisdictions; basic understanding of internal controls (SOX)
- Professional fluency in English (written and spoken) required, as it is the global working language
- Proactive problem solver, obsessed with accuracy and confidential data handling, comfortable navigating dynamic environments
