Payroll and HR specialist with strong accounts payable and administrative expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a payroll and human resources professional with years of hands-on experience administering payroll, benefits enrollment, and compliance for small to mid-sized employers. I accurately audit timesheets, prepare paychecks, run quarterly and annual payroll reporting, and manage 1099 and W-2 processing.
My background includes accounts payable, vendor management, bank reconciliations, and subcontractor compliance using Viewpoint and QuickBooks systems. I have coordinated payroll and 1099 processes for clients, ensuring timely follow-up and accurate reporting.
I also bring administrative and front-desk experience including appointment scheduling, inventory management, patient check-in systems, and social media retail support. I balance operational tasks with customer-facing responsibilities and bring a dependable, organized approach to daily operations.
I hold a Health Coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and an Associate’s Degree in General Business. I am detail-oriented, a quick learner, and motivated to support efficient payroll and HR operations while contributing to a collaborative team environment.
