I am an experienced and CPA qualified payroll and accounting professional with over 15 years of hands-on experience in payroll management, financial control, and taxation requirements. My career has been marked by a stable work history and a commitment to excellence in all aspects of payroll processing and accounting practices.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed payroll for large organizations, ensuring compliance with statutory laws and internal policies. My key achievements include streamlining payroll processes, implementing new accounting standards, and enhancing internal controls to prevent overpayments.
