What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging payroll role at a company valuing accuracy, compliance, and strong client service where I can grow and improve payroll operations.

I am a dedicated payroll professional with four years of hands-on experience processing payrolls across small and large organizations, focusing on accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery. I have managed multi-state payrolls, handled sensitive employee information, and supported year-end tax reconciliation for large employee populations.

My strengths include resolving payroll discrepancies, processing garnishment orders, and maintaining high client service standards — demonstrated by a 12% improvement in client resolution satisfaction and a client ticket completion rate above 90%. I am proficient with ADP (Vantage, Workforce Now), Paychex, Lawson, and Microsoft Office.

I seek a dynamic, challenging role where I can apply my compliance knowledge, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities to improve payroll operations and client satisfaction.
