Senior payroll systems specialist and consultant building in-house payroll platforms for small to mid-sized clients, including full workflows for processing, tax payments, filings, direct deposit, child support, new hire reporting, and issue resolution.
Strong compliance mindset, ensuring systems and processes align with Federal and State payroll rules and supported by clear documentation on how to process payroll, pay and file taxes, and handle garnishments and other requirements.
Hands-on with both systems and clients, from testing and troubleshooting to conducting demos for prospective clients and eventually overseeing payroll processing and answering all payroll questions.
Why they are looking: Chose to move on after helping the prior employer identify and transition to a new full-time hire. Currently consulting in a structure that is not ideal and is now seeking more project-based consulting work rather than doing day-to-day payroll processing as a job.
Compensation: Open to full-time roles starting around $130k and consulting engagements at approximately $65 per hour through their existing LLC.

Audit & Assurance Senior with Deloitte in McLean, promoted quickly from intern to staff to senior, strong academic background (3.89 GPA, Catholic University) and consistent recognition for performance and leadership.
Hands-on experience leading audits from planning through completion, coordinating directly with clients, supervising junior staff, and leveraging advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, analytics) primarily across financial services clients.
Why they are looking: Enjoys the team and training at Deloitte, but audit has become a long-term grind. Recently declined an underwriting role with a bank because the jump and pace were not the right fit, and is now targeting a more sustainable, non-audit role still tied to financial services.
Target role and location: Open to accounting or finance positions outside of audit (for example, corporate accounting, reporting, or analyst roles), ideally hybrid in the Arlington, VA area or other Metro-accessible locations, with a reasonable schedule (around 40 hours most weeks, accepting peak periods when needed).
Compensation: Currently earning approximately $78k with a promotion and increase expected in the near term, and targeting a base salary in the $110k range for the right hybrid opportunity closer to home.

Accounting Lead with CPA leading month-end close in under 2 days for a global manufacturing company, overseeing GL reviews, AR, AP, cash management, fixed assets, and over 190 balance sheet reconciliations.
Hands-on leader of a 5-person team (AR, AP, senior accountant), partnering with an Assistant Global Controller, coordinating audits, overseeing multi-state registrations, and driving process improvements while staying compliant with GAAP and SOX.
Prior experience as a senior accountant in a multi-entity environment (US, Canada, UK) with exposure to transfer pricing, GST/VAT, lease accounting (ASC 842), intercompany work, and full-cycle close, supported by strong Excel skills and comfort with new ERPs and reporting tools.
Why they are looking: Currently with a fully in-office manufacturing company that has had a rough year (tariffs, overseas supply challenges) and frequent early calls with Europe, creating a less-than-ideal work-life balance. Open to staying highly engaged, but seeking a healthier environment with remote or hybrid flexibility rather than a rigid on-site schedule.
Compensation and preferences: Currently earning about $115k plus a 10 percent bonus, and targeting $110k and up for the right senior or lead accounting role, open to manager-level opportunities in the $130k range. Prefers fully remote, but will consider hybrid roles (2–3 days in office) and is based in Chantilly, VA with flexibility to commute for a strong fit.
