About A2Z Millwork Design

A2Z Millwork Design LLC is an AWI Gold Partner millwork drafting and design firm with 130+ team members across Austin, Texas; Windsor, Ontario; and India. We produce shop drawings, engineering, and CNC-ready files for architectural millwork manufacturers, general contractors, and design firms across North America.

Our US entity is small and lean. This role owns payroll, HR compliance, and the books for it.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced part-time professional who can run payroll in Gusto, keep our HR compliance clean, and maintain accurate books — without supervision. This is a hands-on individual contributor role, not a management position. You will report directly to the founder.

The ideal candidate has done this work for a small business before and knows where the compliance landmines are: multi-state filings, worker classification, benefits deductions, quarterly returns, and year-end close.

What You'll Do

Payroll (Gusto)

• Process semi-monthly/bi-weekly payroll end to end in Gusto, including off-cycle runs, bonuses, and final paychecks
• Onboard new hires in Gusto: I-9, W-4, direct deposit, state registration
• Maintain accurate PTO accruals, deductions, garnishments, and reimbursements
• Verify and reconcile Gusto tax filings: Form 941, 940, W-2, W-3, and 1099-NEC
• Manage Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) unemployment reporting and rate changes
• Handle multi-state payroll setup and registration if we hire outside Texas
• Administer pre-tax benefit deductions (health, HSA/FSA, retirement) through payroll

Human Resources

• Maintain personnel files, offer letters, employment agreements, and I-9 documentation
• Own onboarding and offboarding checklists
• Keep the employee handbook and policies current with federal and Texas requirements
• Track PTO, leave requests, and attendance
• Support benefits enrollment, renewals, and carrier/broker coordination
• Advise on employee vs. contractor classification and exempt vs. non-exempt status
• Maintain compliance with FLSA, ACA reporting, EEO, and required workplace postings

Accounting

• Record and categorize transactions; maintain the general ledger [QuickBooks Online / your system]
• Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable, including vendor payments and client invoicing
• Reconcile bank, credit card, and payroll accounts monthly
• Record payroll journal entries and reconcile payroll liabilities to the GL
• Prepare monthly financial statements: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow
• Maintain W-9s and prepare annual 1099 filings for contractors
• Support sales and use tax filings where applicable
• Prepare clean books and supporting schedules for the outside CPA at year-end
• Assist with intercompany coordination across our Canadian and Indian entities

What We're Looking For

Required

• 3+ years of combined payroll, HR, and bookkeeping experience in a small business environment
• Hands-on, current experience running payroll in Gusto (not just viewing reports)
• Solid grounding in GAAP fundamentals: accruals, journal entries, reconciliations, month-end close
• Working knowledge of federal and Texas employment tax: FICA, FUTA, SUTA, withholding, and quarterly/annual returns
• Familiarity with HR compliance: I-9, W-4, FLSA classification, and personnel recordkeeping
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations)
• Discretion with confidential payroll, compensation, and employee data
• Authorized to work in the United States

Preferred

• Experience with QuickBooks Online or comparable accounting software
• Experience supporting a multi-member LLC taxed as a partnership (K-1s, partner draws, guaranteed payments)
• Multi-state payroll registration and filing experience
• Benefits administration experience, including pre-tax payroll deductions
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or HR; or CPP, FPC, PHR, or SHRM-CP certification
• Experience in construction, manufacturing, or professional services

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay, well above standard bookkeeping rates, for the right combination of skills
• Genuine schedule flexibility — set your own hours within the week
• Full ownership of the function with direct access to the founder, no bureaucracy
• Potential to grow to full-time as the US team expands

How to Apply

Apply through Indeed with your resume. In your application message, please answer: which payroll tax filings have you personally prepared or reviewed, and what is the trickiest payroll or classification issue you have had to resolve? Applications without an answer will not be reviewed.
