If your paycheques are accurate and come on time, you can thank your accounting and payroll team. Then again, if you’ve ever encountered a glitch or error, it was probably the accounting and payroll department that helped get your problem solved.
Looking for an essential job that helps everyday people with the dollars and cents of their lives? You can’t get much more essential than the payroll department!

They have strong math and computer skills, great attention to detail, and embrace the opportunity to keep learning new technologies and changing rules. They also have strong emotional intelligence to field employee questions with compassion and discretion, and work with team members on complex, high pressure tasks.
