What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead multi-state payroll and HR/benefits operations in complex environments—driving compliance, audit readiness, and reporting accuracy while automating manual processes and strengthening employee data integrity.

I’m a Payroll, HR, benefits, and operations manager with 20+ years of progressive experience across construction, manufacturing, transportation, service, and multi-state operations. I’ve managed payroll for workforces up to 350+ employees, driving process improvement that strengthens payroll accuracy, compliance, and reporting consistency.

I step into complex environments to identify errors, build practical systems, and automate manual work—especially across certified payroll, prevailing wage, payroll taxes, garnishments, GL reconciliations, and benefits administration. From leading certified payroll and fringe calculations to partnering on Acumatica implementations and audit support (ISO 9001 / IATF 16949), I focus on operational efficiency and reliable data integrity.
