Experienced Payroll Specialist with expertise in multi-state payroll management.
What I'm looking for
I am a Payroll Specialist with over 5 years of experience managing full-cycle payroll for employees across the USA, Canada, and the UK. My expertise lies in utilizing systems such as ADP, Workday, UKG Pro, and Ceridian HCM to ensure accurate payroll processing, compliance, and reporting. I am adept at resolving payroll issues and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders.
In my most recent role as a Senior Payroll Specialist at AppDirect, I processed multi-state payroll, conducted audits, and collaborated with HR and Finance teams to enhance payroll operations. I am currently pursuing certification from the American Payroll Association (APA) to further solidify my expertise in this field. My commitment to accuracy and customer service has consistently contributed to the success of the payroll departments I have been a part of.
