What I'm looking for

I am seeking a payroll-focused role where I can apply my technical payroll expertise, ensure compliance, collaborate with HR/Finance, and contribute to process improvements in a professional, accuracy-driven environment.

I am an experienced and detail-oriented payroll specialist with over five years' experience in bookkeeping, payroll processing, reconciliations and payroll compliance across SAP, Xero, Oracle and DATEV systems. I have managed end-to-end payroll for organisations of varying sizes, delivered accurate pay runs for domestic and international teams, supported audits, and implemented payroll-related systems and reporting.

I bring strong analytical ability, attention to detail and effective cross-functional collaboration with HR and Finance to ensure timely payments, statutory compliance and clear stakeholder communication. I am committed to operational excellence and continuous improvement, and I seek roles where I can apply my technical payroll expertise and drive reliable payroll outcomes.
