A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PAYTECH PRIVATE EQUITY SOLUTION CONSULTANT

With coffee in hand you look at your calendar for today.  TLM training, Benefit portal, call with India re: CTC breakouts, Data mapping, Payroll prep, it’s going to be a busy day.   You start with configuring the custom open enrollment portal PayTech offers to their M&A clients working with the benefit broker to ensure you have the correct specs.  Next you have calls with two client locations to discuss the timekeeping training and confirm the training plan and schedule.  You’re submitting payroll for one of your clients next week, so you devote a couple hours to entering changes, reaching out to the sites and getting everything in place to process.  The US data from the parent company of your other project arrives and you start to review making sure we’ve received everything requested.  It came in a .txt file so first you must format the files to excel.   Text file?  Really?  You notice banking information is missing and follow up with the parent providing a deadline.  Now to the mapping exercise, everything must be mapped to new values and formatted for the new system for loading. You check in with the project manager and catch them up on progress before ending your day with a call to India to discuss the CTC breakout and formulas utilized by the parent.

Each day is a new challenge in Private Equity we like to say it’s continuously unpredictable chaos.  As a member of the Private Equity team you will engage all your functional HCM expertise; HR, Payroll, and Benefits as well as change management & conflict resolution skills.   You’ll work hand in hand with the project manager coordinating and executing the day to day activities of the implementation.   You will develop training and testing plans and lead and participate in completing the tasks.  The environments in which we work are in flux as companies change ownership or are carved out into new standalone businesses.   Our clients rely on our expertise and skills to set them up for success in meeting their strategic objectives and the PE firms count on us to help them stabilize the environment and instill confidence in the employees.   We consistently receive feedback from our clients & partners as to how they couldn’t have done the project without us.  While our projects are complex, challenging and fast paced they are also extremely satisfying.  We are solution driven and think outside the box to develop creative results for our clients.

PayTech PE projects are largely carve-out projects with a 45 to 60-day turnaround from engagement to first payroll processing.  We work with Private Equity companies and advisory partners to implement the HCM/Payroll system and onboard employees.  A typical implementation includes HR, Payroll, Timekeeping and Benefits.  Often there are no HR/Payroll resources that come over in the sale, so we are acting on behalf of the new company until resources are in place.  As the HR/Payroll SME of the new company, the PE firm relies on our expertise to assist in guiding them to set up a system and processes to meet their strategic direction for the new company.  You will create a plan and support your client until they get their team in place.  Once in place you will oversee the transition to the client team.  Many of our projects have a global component and we have implemented in over 40 countries.  You will have the opportunity to work with multiple systems and partners and expand your global knowledge supporting payroll  and implementations for our global clients.    Due to the nature of our projects most of our work is performed remotely with periodic travel to the client.
