Seasoned Payroll Specialist with over 10 years of extensive experience in managing end-to-end payroll processing for clients in the US, Australia, and the Philippines.

Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) by the American Payroll Association since 2013, demonstrating a commitment to excellence and compliance in payroll management. 

As a Payroll Specialist at Tax Goddess Business Services, P.C., I wear many hats to ensure smooth and compliant payroll operations for our small business clients across various states. My responsibilities span the entire payroll cycle, from meticulously processing bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and annual payrolls to managing deductions, benefits, and direct deposits. I ensure strict adherence to federal, state, and local tax regulations by filing accurate payroll tax returns and W-2s. Additionally, I stay updated on changing regulations and correct any filing errors using amendment forms.

Maintaining accurate employee records is paramount, so I manage earnings, deductions, benefits, and withholdings. I am also responsible for direct deposits, wage garnishments, and payroll adjustments.

Regular audits and timely reconciliation of accounts ensure the integrity of our payroll data. Excellent customer service is a key aspect of my role. I address employee inquiries promptly, resolve issues efficiently, and educate them on payroll processes and policies.

I continuously identify opportunities to enhance our workflow through best practices and documented procedures. Confidentiality and data security are crucial, so I ensure all payroll information is handled securely and complies with data protection regulations.

Furthermore, I train new staff, provide ongoing support, and foster a collaborative team environment. My expertise extends to project management, leading initiatives like system upgrades and new policy implementations. I also generate insightful reports on labor costs and overtime for management to make informed decisions.

Liaising with vendors, tax authorities, and state/federal agencies further strengthens our payroll processing. Finally, year-end tasks like W-2 distribution and account reconciliation are handled with accuracy and efficiency.

Through these comprehensive efforts, I contribute significantly to compliant and successful payroll operations for our clients.
