What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and values employee engagement.

With over 20 years of experience in finance and payroll management, I have honed my skills in delivering efficient payroll solutions and managing complex financial operations. Currently, I serve as a Payroll Manager at Balcas Timber, where I oversee multiple payrolls, ensuring compliance with HMRC and ROS reporting requirements. My role involves not only payroll processing but also engaging with unions and employees during pay negotiations, showcasing my ability to manage sensitive discussions effectively.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions that have enriched my expertise in accounting and payroll management. From my early days in accounts payable at Terex Omagh to my current leadership role, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to accuracy and efficiency. I have also taken on responsibilities such as training staff in Excel and compliance, reflecting my dedication to fostering a knowledgeable and capable team.

Beyond my professional achievements, I am actively involved in my community, having served as a councilor and participated in various local committees. I believe in the importance of giving back and using my skills to support community initiatives. I am now looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my extensive experience in payroll and finance while contributing to a dynamic and growth-oriented organization.
