I've managed end-to-end US, Canadian, UK, and Philippines payroll operations for Cynet Systems, TalentBurst, and Hays Business Solutions, processing multi-state payroll for workforces of 1,000+ and 1,500+ employees. At Cynet, I lead a team of 10+ associates while overseeing payroll, AP, timekeeping, reconciliations, ACH payments, and compliance support.

I'm experienced with ADP Workforce Now, Paylocity, PeopleSoft, Ceipal, OneTouch, and QuickBooks, and I resolve payroll discrepancies across tax, benefits, garnishments, leave, and employee records. I streamline payroll processes, support audits, and deliver accurate payroll under tight deadlines.
