## About this task

This technology consulting firm for family businesses (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a specialist Payroll Specialist for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Ties payroll totals to the ledger and the year-end forms.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It is a consulting firm, so client deadlines set the pace and handover notes are expected.

The team sits in San Mateo. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

## What you deliver

- Reconcile annual payroll to the general ledger and prepare the W-2 and 1099 check lists.

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 6: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

Excel ADP

## Who fits

- 2-5 years of hands-on work as a Payroll Specialist, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Excel and ADP

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

- Experience in a similar industry

## Not included

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.

1. **With your written OK** The company sees the anonymous profile below. Most companies answer within three working days.
