What I'm looking for

I am seeking a payroll or finance role where I can manage end-to-end payroll, ensure statutory compliance, support audits, and contribute to efficient finance operations.

I am a dedicated finance and payroll professional with strong knowledge of current tax laws and payroll systems. I deliver accurate payroll processing and statutory compliance while meeting strict deadlines.

I have hands-on experience processing payroll for large employee groups, reconciling ledgers, and preparing payroll journals and reports for audit and posting purposes. I have worked across hospitality, financial services, and corporate sectors.

My technical proficiency includes ERP and payroll systems such as SAP, Sage Evolution, Workday, H Senid, Oasys, Blackline and Microsoft D365, alongside strong MS Office skills, particularly Excel.

I focus on fostering positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders, supporting audits, managing staff loans and statutory filings, and advising management on payroll, tax and benefits matters.
