I am a results-driven payroll, accounting, HR leader.
What I'm looking for
I am a payroll, accounting and human resources professional with extensive experience leading teams and optimizing processes across government contracting and corporate environments.

I have led multiple system implementations and integrations, including Oracle Cloud ERP, Deltek Costpoint, Jamis (Classic and Prime), At Work e-timecard and ADP Workforce Now, and authored ISO and system documentation. I serve as an SME for timecard and labor costing systems, designed training programs, and have led audits to meet DCAA, CAS, SOX and GAAP standards.
