About

As a seasoned Payroll Analyst with a proven track record, I specialize in meticulously managing end-to-end payroll processes. With hands-on experience in calculating wages, payroll taxes, and overtime for a diverse workforce, I excel in ensuring payroll accuracy and compliance. Proficient in utilizing various software, including AccuFund, FMS Engine, MIP, Halo, and Mas90, I have successfully processed payroll for over 600 employees every two weeks. My skill set extends to handling garnishments, resolving discrepancies, and conducting audits to prevent late fees and penalties. Additionally, I am adept at managing negotiable instruments, such as checks and vouchers, and streamlining communication through email platforms. My commitment to efficiency is further demonstrated by my role in creating Net Pay reissue files and completing employment verifications, workers' compensation forms, and billing support. Known for resolving client issues promptly, I bring a customer-centric approach to my work. I am now seeking new opportunities to contribute my expertise and drive excellence in payroll administration.
