What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and values compliance and efficiency.

I am an experienced economist with a strong background in payroll management and HR compliance. My expertise lies in processing, filing, and managing payroll taxes for multiple US clients, ensuring full compliance with federal and state regulations. I have successfully overseen end-to-end payroll functions, driving operational efficiency while managing employee benefits administration and recruitment processes.

In my current role as an HR Generalist and Payroll Specialist at City Lending Inc., I oversee payroll processing for over 100 employees, ensuring accuracy and timely disbursement of wages. My previous experience as a Payroll Tax Trainer and Senior Payroll Tax Specialist has equipped me with the skills to mentor new hires and lead projects that enhance team performance. I am committed to staying updated on labor laws and implementing necessary adjustments to maintain compliance.
