Profile
Detail-oriented professional trusted with highly time-sensitive responsibilities and confidential information. Comfortable learning new systems, developing efficient processes, collaborating with team members, and working well autonomously. Adept at managing payroll and employee timekeeping services. Proven ability to accurately maintain and process employee timekeeping records and data. Strong aptitude for resolving discrepancies and enforcing compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Why Hire This Candidate (In Their Own Words): “I think to be successful in these almost entirely autonomous roles, my drive and motivation came from finding meaning in the work. While I may fall more in the meticulous, analytical “Left-Brained” category, payroll has always felt innately meaningful. I feel motivated knowing regardless of the company or industry, the work I’m doing matters because it is securing people’s livelihood. I think I am a strong payroll professional because I am excited by numbers, and driven by people.”
