What I'm looking for

I seek an HR role emphasizing payroll, tax compliance, HRMS administration, and opportunities to grow in HR operations and payroll management.

I am an HR Assistant with hands-on experience in payroll processing, tax compliance, and day-to-day HR administration within corporate settings.

At Kewalram Chanrai Group I prepare and process monthly payroll, manage staff records and benefits, generate overtime calculations, and support recruitment and expatriate documentation using HRMS and Excel.

I also serve as a Tax Personnel Assistant, preparing and filing PAYE, VAT, WHT and other tax returns, remitting taxes to FIRS/LIRS, and maintaining accurate tax and company secretarial records for audits and CAC filings.

I bring strong written and verbal communication, attention to detail, proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word, and a commitment to continuous improvement and collaborative teamwork.
