Job Title : Controller

Location : Remote (U.S.-based)

Reports to : CEO

Employment Type : Full-Time

Salary Range : $105,000 – $120,000

What You'll Do

Paragon Payroll is a fast-growing, remote-first payroll bureau and certified isolved partner, serving clients in high-compliance industries including cannabis. We are seeking a Controller with deep experience in payroll services or the PEO / bureau space to own our financial operations, enhance cash control, and drive margin visibility across our book of business.

This role is ideal for someone who has worked inside a payroll bureau, PEO, or HCM platform provider, understands how to manage client billing, tax payment flows, and vendor obligations - and thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Management & Reporting

  • Oversee all accounting operations : client billing, A / R, A / P, general ledger, tax filings, and month-end close
  • Produce accurate financial statements and internal dashboards
  • Track client profitability and identify margin leakage in services

Cash Flow & Budgeting

  • Manage 13-week cash flow forecasts across operating and trust accounts
  • Optimize client funds flow (e.g., tax payments, payroll funding, fee collections)
  • Maintain detailed visibility into burn, collections, and vendor disbursements
  • Payroll Bureau Operations (Core Focus)

  • Own the financial oversight of payroll tax collections, remittances, and liabilities
  • Ensure billing is aligned with services, headcount, or pay-cycle tiers
  • Work closely with isolved and operations team to track revenue per client and handle exceptions (e.g., one-offs, credits, or off-cycle bills)
  • Coordinate payroll-related audits, reconciliations, and journal entries
  • Systems & Automation

  • Manage financial systems including QuickBooks Online, isolved, Excel / Sheets
  • Optimize integrations between systems; reduce manual work through templates or tools
  • Implement processes that help scale - with auditability and transparency
  • Compliance & Controls

  • Ensure all payroll-related taxes are properly accounted for and reconciled
  • Coordinate with external CPAs for filings, 280E tracking (where relevant), and year-end prep
  • Maintain and improve internal controls and documentation
  • Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in an accounting or controller role within a payroll bureau, PEO, ASO, or similar environment
  • Strong understanding of payroll cash flow, tax fund flow, and client billing models
  • Experience with isolved or similar platforms (Paychex, Paylocity, ADP, etc.)
  • Proficient in QuickBooks Online, Excel / Google Sheets, and reporting tools
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA a plus but not required
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment and reporting to a founder / CEO
  • Key Competencies

  • You thrive in the back-office engine room - making sure numbers are accurate and systems run smoothly
  • You enjoy building processes that reduce errors and manual effort
  • You can explain financial concepts in simple terms, and you're not afraid to challenge inconsistencies
  • You like knowing how each client relationship affects the bottom line
  • Growth Path

    This is a key operational role with a direct path to VP of Finance or CFO as the company scales and reaches greater profitability. You'll be a foundational part of Paragon's next stage of growth.
