What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a staff accounting/payroll role where I can ensure accurate, timely payroll, strengthen reconciliations and reporting, drive process improvements, and partner closely with HR and Finance while maintaining strict confidentiality.

I’m a dedicated staff accounting and payroll professional with over 2.5 years of experience, plus a long track record supporting month-end close, general ledger reconciliation, and payroll operations across multiple organizations. I bring a strong work ethic, leadership, excellent problem solving, and process improvement skills—especially in environments that require strict confidentiality and accuracy.

In recent roles, I processed corporate bi-weekly payroll for large employee populations, ensured hours, tips, and bonuses were calculated correctly, and generated payroll reports for management, Accounting and Finance, and HR. I also handled payroll accounting and audits, managed expense reimbursements and 401k functions, supported reconciliations and month end/quarter end/year end close, and prepared filings such as sales/use tax and unemployment-related items while partnering closely with HR and Finance.
