Aida Velasquez
@aidavelasquez
Operations and compliance leader building audit-ready systems and managing $1M+ budgets with 10+ years’ impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and compliance leader with 10+ years of experience running high-volume, multi-program administrative environments—keeping clinics, healthcare programs, and departments on time and in compliance. I build the systems, documentation, and accountability that regulators and funders require.
In my current work as a Program Director, I manage an annual $1M+ site operating budget, direct workforce management for 25+ employees, and strengthen compliance through corrective action plans and preventive controls. I’ve also improved audit accuracy by 98% by standardizing documentation and tracking to support reporting and reimbursement accountability.
I oversee payroll administration with ADP Workforce Now and Paycom, ensuring wage accuracy and timekeeping compliance. I maintain tight oversight of procurement records, vendor payments, and reimbursement submissions so financial transparency and policy adherence stay consistent.
I reinforce operational standards through recurring compliance and operations training, and I’m known for process improvement that measurably increases documentation and reporting accuracy. I bring structured reporting, documentation control, and supervisory oversight to help teams perform reliably in highly regulated environments.
