What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative environment, and the chance to leverage my payroll expertise.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented payroll and finance professional with over 5 years of experience in full-cycle payroll, accounts payable/receivable, and employee benefits. My expertise includes working with ERP systems such as Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, and SAP (ARIBA), along with expense systems like Concur. I possess a strong understanding of payroll legislation, compliance, GL reconciliation, and audit readiness, which allows me to effectively partner with HR and Finance teams to resolve discrepancies and streamline operations.

In my recent role at Blueprint Software Systems Inc., I managed AP/AR processes, ensuring timely payments and accurate financial reporting. I played a key role in the ERP transition from Microsoft Dynamics to Sage, contributing to testing, data migration, and end-user training. My previous experience as a Payroll Administrator at Aireone Heating and Cooling involved processing bi-weekly payroll, auditing payroll data for accuracy, and ensuring compliance with federal and provincial regulations. I am committed to maintaining high standards of accuracy and compliance in all financial operations.
