Summary

I manage payroll and bookkeeping for several clients, each with their own unique schedules and needs. I handle everything from collecting hours and verifying employee info to processing payroll on a weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly basis. I also make sure taxes are calculated correctly and filed on time, and I keep up with any changes in payroll laws to stay compliant.

I’m the go-to person for any payroll-related questions—whether it's helping employees understand their paychecks or getting new hires set up with the right forms. I work with a few different payroll systems like QuickBooks Online, Sage 50, and Thomson Reuters, and I make sure all records stay accurate and confidential.
