What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a payroll and HR operations role where I can own accurate processing, strengthen compliance and audit readiness, and use HRIS/data analysis to continuously improve workflows and reduce payroll errors.

I’m a results-driven Payroll Specialist with 12+ years supporting payroll operations, HRIS administration, and accounting-related reporting. I generate and validate monthly and biweekly payrolls for 700–1,000+ clinicians nationwide, reconcile complex calculations, and interpret contract terms to meet strict deadlines with high accuracy.

I’m trusted with confidential information and skilled at audit readiness—preparing and maintaining payroll documentation to support SOX and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. I partner across HR, Accounting, Corporate, Compensation, Legal, and Finance to resolve discrepancies, reduce errors, and improve workflows—cutting payroll processing time by 30% and reducing errors by 50% through targeted process improvements.
