HRIS & Payroll Systems Optimization Consultant (Part-Time, Non-Benefited)
About BPM
What does BPM stand for? Innovation, opportunity, community, diversity, inclusivity, flexibility — and so much more.
BPM stands for Because People Matter — because at our core, our people drive everything we do and how we do it.
We are a forward-thinking, full-service accounting and advisory firm providing modern solutions to businesses across the globe. We focus on comprehensive assurance, tax, and consulting services for our clients, while providing our people and community with the resources to lead meaningful and purposeful lives.
While we are one of the largest California-based accounting firms, our flexible work locations and schedules mean we have professionals across the country. Our diverse client base and industries keep our teams intellectually challenged every day and allow us to deliver meaningful impact through our consulting work.
Position Overview:
You’re a systems-minded payroll and HR professional who loves getting inside HR and payroll platforms and making them work better. You understand how payroll and HR operations actually run — and you know how to optimize systems like Paycor, Workday, ADP, Paylocity, UKG, or similar platforms so that clients can operate more efficiently, accurately, and confidently.
This is a client-facing consulting role focused on:
- System optimization
- Configuration and setup
- Process improvement
- Client support and training
We’re looking for someone who understands payroll and HR operations and knows how to translate that knowledge into well-configured, well-functioning systems.
You may come from a background where you:
Process payroll and also helped implement or configure systems
Led HRIS or payroll system transitions
Supported Paycor or Workday as a system owner or power user
Worked in construction, manufacturing, or other complex payroll environments
The ideal candidate has both payroll processing experience and system implementation/configuration experience — but strong experience in either is welcome.
Work Arrangement:
Part-time, non-benefited consulting role
Fully remote with occasional video meetings
Flexible schedule based on client needs and project work
No daily commute — work from wherever you do your best work
Why BPM?
Our people are the heart of our success. We foster a collaborative, supportive consulting environment where professionals can do meaningful work while maintaining balance and flexibility.
Our culture is built on trust, respect, and impact — and we’re proud to live our motto every day:
Because People Matter.
