What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a payroll tax compliance role where I can own multi-state W-2/1099 filings, run reconciliations, and support audits—using ERP systems to deliver accurate, compliant results and continuous process improvements.

I’m a senior payroll tax compliance professional with 15+ years of experience specializing in multi-state payroll tax compliance, W-2/W-3/1099 filings, and issue resolution. I focus on accuracy, compliance, and practical process improvement to keep payroll tax work audit-ready.

In consulting and in-house roles, I manage payroll and tax compliance for multiple clients and large workforces, handling quarterly and year-end filings, reconciliations, and responses to agency notices. I’m especially strong at troubleshooting discrepancies and ensuring federal and state requirements are met.

I bring hands-on ERP experience, working with QuickBooks, ADP, and SAP, and I use data-driven reconciliation and reporting practices to improve outcomes for accountants and business owners. My work blends compliance rigor with operational efficiency—so filings are correct, timely, and defensible.
