What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fully remote roles where I can own payroll auditing quality, strengthen compliance controls (VAT/GST), and improve SOPs and audit frameworks using SAP Concur—delivering 98%+ accuracy and reducing repeat errors.

I’m a Global Payroll Operations professional with 8+ years of experience in payroll auditing, compliance, and multi-country payroll support across 30+ countries. I’m deeply focused on audit quality, payroll data validation, and ensuring zero compliance gaps through structured controls.

In my current role as a Quality Research Analyst, I perform daily payroll audit quality checks across SAP Concur Intelligent Audit and Invoice Capture, maintaining 98%+ accuracy across ~2,400 checkpoints. I validate expense and invoice outputs—verifying policy application, auditor decisions, and data integrity for EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.

Previously as a Senior Subject Matter Expert, I supported the end-to-end payroll expense lifecycle for globally dispersed workforces, auditing 150+ expense reports and invoices daily, including Level 4 and Level 5 high-risk audits. I also contributed to UAT/system validation during tool enhancements and mentored 6+ auditors through structured onboarding.

I take pride in building and updating SOPs, audit guidelines, and reference toolkits to standardize decisions and reduce repeat errors. I’ve been recognized with a Best Creative Award (2024) for SWB Tool process automation and Coaching Champion (2022) for mentoring and capability building.
