What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead payroll outsourcing, compliance, and transformation work where I can improve service delivery, guide teams, and help clients manage complex multi-country payroll obligations.

At PwC Taxation Services in Kuala Lumpur, I lead a 15-member team delivering payroll outsourcing for more than 20 Malaysian clients and over 3,000 employees. I review local and expatriate payroll treatments, maintain data quality, and support select Singapore-based clients.

I've led APAC compliance audits and advisory projects across Cambodia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Pakistan. I also drive payroll system migrations, employee self-service enablement, Form E services, and RPA initiatives that reduce routine workload and improve payroll efficiency.
