What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented Payroll Analyst with extensive experience in payroll and tax compliance. My career has been dedicated to managing large-scale payroll systems while ensuring data integrity. I have a proven track record of enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs through innovative, data-driven strategies.
At Ernst & Young, I processed payroll for over 300 employees across all 50 states, expertly managing data related to employee wages and tax payments. My role involved actively engaging with employees to address taxation-related queries and supporting the team during tax audits. I consistently updated my knowledge of federal and state tax regulations to ensure compliance and accuracy.
In my previous position at Ferrillgas, I analyzed and synthesized data from various sources, employing advanced data analysis tools to create comprehensive reports. I have also led projects that streamlined payroll processes, such as transitioning from manual timesheets to an online system, which significantly reduced processing time and operational costs. I am committed to leveraging my analytical skills to drive process improvements and deliver strategic insights.
