About the Role
This role fully owns and directly manages payroll and equity administration for a growing, fully in-person team. It involves processing payroll cycles, managing equity grants, vesting, exercises, and cap table hygiene, as well as supporting the transition to a new equity platform and accounting for stock-based compensation.
Responsibilities
- Process payroll every cycle for Base's full employee population, including multi-state and hourly or field-team complexity.
- Prepare payroll journal entries and departmental/cost-center allocations, and reconcile payroll to the general ledger each period.
- Administer Base's equity program: process new grants, track vesting, process exercises, and keep the cap table and option ledger accurate.
- Lead the transition from Base's current equity administration process to a new platform — data migration, testing, and employee-facing rollout.
- Own stock-based compensation accounting: expense recognition, forfeitures, modifications, and the accounting treatment for early exercises.
- Answer employee questions on pay, equity grants, and vesting with clear, accurate information.
- Build the SOPs and controls around payroll and equity administration so both processes scale without added headcount.
Requirements
- 3–6+ years in payroll and/or equity administration, ideally both, at a high-growth company.
- Hands-on experience processing payroll end to end, including journal entries and allocations.
- Experience administering an equity program: grants, vesting schedules, exercises, and cap table reconciliation.
- Working knowledge of stock-based compensation accounting, including ASC 718 concepts and early exercise treatment.
- High attention to detail.
- Discretion. You'll regularly handle sensitive compensation and ownership data.
