What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote corporate role where I can leverage technical financial skills and operational expertise in high-volume payroll or data analysis, delivering compliant processing, audit-ready documentation, and actionable reporting for decision-making.

I’m an Analytical Payroll & Financial Operations professional with extensive experience managing end-to-end payroll for large workforces (170+ employees). I currently complete my Bachelor of Science in Finance & Accounting, strengthening my advanced proficiency in QuickBooks, ADP, and Microsoft Excel.

I’ve built a proven track record in streamlining payroll processes, ensuring 100% regulatory compliance, and delivering actionable financial reporting. In prior roles, I spearheaded payroll processing for 150+ employees, managed full-cycle workforce administration, and used data-driven reporting to resolve scheduling discrepancies and optimize labor costs.

Right now, I manage financial tracking and operational reporting for fleet operations, using Excel to identify cost-saving trends and maintenance efficiencies while coordinating vendor payments and scheduling. I’m motivated by roles that combine high-volume payroll, analytics, and audit-ready operational execution.
