PAYROLL & ACCOUNTING ADMIN
About The Position
Leo Auto Group is hiring a Payroll Specialist to manage payroll processing across our nine-dealership automotive group in Indiana. You'll be responsible for accurate, on-time payroll for several hundred employees across multiple locations, each with different pay structures including hourly, salary, commission, and blended compensation plans. This role sits within our corporate office and reports into the accounting team. You'll work in ADP Workforce Now daily, coordinate with store-level managers on timekeeping, and ensure compliance across all federal, state, and local payroll requirements. Automotive dealership payroll has more moving parts than most industries — variable commission structures, chargebacks, spiffs, and flat-rate technician pay — so the ability to learn quickly and ask the right questions matters as much as experience.
Requirements
- Experience processing payroll, preferably for 100+ employees
- Proficiency with ADP Workforce Now (strongly preferred) or comparable payroll platform
- Solid working knowledge of payroll tax requirements and labor regulations
- Advanced Excel skills — you're comfortable with lookups, pivot tables, and reconciliation
- High accuracy and attention to detail under deadline pressure
- Ability to handle confidential information with discretion
- Strong communication skills — you'll interact with managers and employees at every level
Nice To Haves
- Associate degree in accounting, business, or related field preferred (equivalent experience considered)
Responsibilities
- Process weekly (or scheduled) payroll for all group locations using ADP Workforce Now
- Verify timekeeping data, resolve discrepancies with department managers, and ensure accurate records

- Maintain employee payroll records with strict confidentiality
