Job Title: Senior Payroll Specialist/Accountant
It’s never been a more exciting time to join Biz Latin Hub, part of Vistra.
At Biz Latin Hub Vistra our purpose is progress. We believe that our clients have the power to change the world and to do great things for global progress, and we exist to remove the friction that comes from the complexity of global business – to help our clients achieve progress without friction.
But progress only happens when people come together and take action. And we’re absolutely committed to building a culture where our people can do just that.
We have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team as a Senior Payroll Specialist / Accountant. Reporting to the Country Manager, this full time, permanent position is based in Argentina and offers local coverage, allowing you to make a significant impact on our Corporate business and its growth.
We are looking for a Senior Payroll Specialist / Senior Accountant with strong hands-on payroll expertise to join our growing team.
This is not a generalist accounting role. The primary focus of the position is the end-to-end administration of complex payrolls, managed independently and autonomously.
The successful candidate will be responsible for processing payroll for clients with diverse and complex employee structures, including multiple collective bargaining agreements (particularly CCT 130/75 - Commerce Employees), commission-based compensation, variable pay schemes, and non-cash benefits.
In addition to payroll, the role includes payroll tax compliance responsibilities and limited participation in month-end and year-end closing activities.
We are seeking a professional with deep technical knowledge of payroll administration, labor regulations, and payroll taxes, who can confidently manage client payroll operations while ensuring accuracy, compliance, and exceptional service.
If you are a payroll expert who happens to have an accounting background, rather than an accountant who occasionally processes payroll, we'd love to hear from you.
Required Qualifications (Must-Have)
- Proven experience independently processing payroll from start to finish. This means personally preparing and managing payroll calculations, not merely reviewing or approving payroll prepared by HR, an external accounting firm, or a third party. This is the most important requirement for the role.
- Hands-on experience managing payroll under multiple Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), as well as for employees outside collective bargaining coverage.
- Strong practical experience processing payroll for employees covered by the Commerce Employees Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCT 130/75), including salary categories, seniority, attendance bonuses, allowances, and other agreement-specific concepts.
- Demonstrated understanding of gross-to-net calculations, gross-up methodologies, labor costs, and total employer cost analysis.
- Experience handling related payroll processes, including vacation pay, annual bonus payments (SAC), final settlements, and severance calculations.
- Practical experience with payroll-related and corporate taxes, including income tax, withholding obligations where applicable, and reconciliation between payroll records and tax obligations.
- Working knowledge of accounting entries, reconciliations, and accruals to support month-end and year-end closing processes.
- Strong technical autonomy, with the ability to independently manage, review, reconcile, and finalize complex payroll calculations with minimal supervision.
- Advanced Excel skills and hands-on experience with Holistor Sueldos y Jornales Web payroll software.
