What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to leverage my payroll expertise.

I am a Certified Payroll Professional with a robust background in accounting and Human Resources. My in-depth understanding of the end-to-end payroll cycle allows me to manage complex payroll processes efficiently. I have a strong knowledge of payroll runs, garnishments, vacation pay, retroactive calculations, and various deductions, ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in generating month-end reports and reconciling year-end Forms T2200 and T4s. My proficiency in various payroll software, including ADP, WFN, and in-house systems, has enabled me to streamline payroll operations for multiple clients. I pride myself on my strong work ethic, independence, and excellent communication skills, which have been crucial in my roles as a Payroll Service Representative and HR Specialist.

As a flexible and focused team player, I have successfully enforced payroll-related policies and procedures while adapting to changing company and governmental standards. My experience in HR recruitment and termination, along with my strategic planning and time management skills, positions me as a valuable asset to any organization seeking to enhance their payroll and HR functions.
