Candidate overview

An experienced finance professional with a strong background in both payroll and transactional finance. Currently responsible for raising and processing invoices, handling payment runs, allocations, and remittances, while also managing timesheets and expense inputs for a 500-employee payroll. Liaises directly with an external payroll provider and resolves payroll-related queries, including paid and unpaid leave.

Previously worked in a payroll bureau setting, processing payroll for 20–25 external clients, gaining valuable experience across a range of payroll systems and client needs.

Proficient in Xero and QuickBooks, this candidate has demonstrated adaptability and a willingness to learn — often being encouraged to take on new tasks beyond payroll. While payroll remains a core strength, recent experience in a broader finance role has sparked a deeper interest in finance as a whole, with a preference for developing further in this area.
