Work History

Director Payroll & Payments

ModSquad, Inc.

12.2021 - Current

Joining ModSquad meant stepping into a fast-moving, fully remote global environment where culture, communication, and digital execution had to run in perfect sync. The business was scaling rapidly across the US, UK, and LATAM markets, and I was tasked with bringing clarity and structure to a payroll operation serving 4,000+ people—across countries, currencies, and compliance regimes.

I was promoted to Director within 8 months, not because I had all the answers—but because I brought direction, accountability, and vision to a function that needed alignment with the business's global growth agenda. I inherited a team needing clarity and support and focused on team development, clear role ownership, and elevating the department's influence across the company.

Led global payroll strategy across 4,000+ employees, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and continuity across the US, UK, and Costa Rica.
Spearheaded a full platform migration to Workday/OSV, unlocking real-time payroll visibility and executive reporting across global entities.
Reorganized team structure across four roles, reducing processing errors by 40%, improving SLA compliance, and creating growth paths that enhanced retention.
Introduced automation and removed redundant licensing, delivering $7,000 in annual savings and redirecting team focus toward high-impact strategic work.

Accounting Manager

Vora Corporate Services LLC.

02.2019 - 08.2021

Vora was a values-driven, multi-entity organization where complexity was the norm and systems didn't speak to each other. I walked into a fragmented payroll and finance function—and made it my mission to rebuild structure, transparency, and cross-functional trust.

From system migration to compliance frameworks, I aligned people and processes to reduce delays, recapture costs, and deliver confidence in our payroll data. The transformation impacted not just payroll, but the business's ability to plan, forecast, and make decisions.

Delivered payroll for 1,000+ employees across multiple entities and jurisdictions, rebuilding trust in reporting accuracy and payroll timelines.
Partnered with HR to co-design SOPs and implement automated workflows that dramatically improved responsiveness and consistency.
Led a successful platform migration from Paycor/Paylocity/Sage to NetSuite/OpenAir—delivered 3 months early, enabling better financial visibility.
Conducted a detailed audit of H1B transitions, recouping significant employer-paid visa expenses and strengthening compliance readiness.

Assistant Controller

Mid-America Gutter Systems, Inc.

11.2017 - 10.2018

I joined at a time of financial disorganization across five operating entities, where disconnected systems and inconsistent reporting were eroding leadership's confidence. My role was to bring everything together—to centralize, streamline, and reduce friction across the finance ecosystem.

I focused on smart cost savings, better vendor relationships, and stronger internal controls—all while being a stabilizing force during a phase of operational tension.

Consolidated payroll, AP, AR, and reporting into a unified process across five business entities, reducing duplication and admin time.
Renegotiated contracts to reduce payroll and benefits administration costs by 30%, significantly improving profit margins.
Identified cross-entity procurement overlaps and implemented new protocols, saving $3,000 in the first 90 days alone.
Served as lead liaison for sales tax matters with the Department of Revenue, reducing audit risk and improving reporting timelines.

Accounting Specialist

CAR-X

07.2015 - 11.2017

In a fast-paced, customer-facing automotive services business, I was responsible for ensuring accurate financial data and effective payroll processes—despite high volumes and shifting priorities. My work improved operational cash flow, streamlined vendor relations, and created a more predictable reporting cadence.

I was known as the person who could “make the numbers make sense”—and ensure the right people got paid, on time, every time.

Optimized financial reporting through targeted QuickBooks process improvements, shortening close cycles and improving confidence in month-end data.
Overhauled vendor returns process, cutting waste and reducing returns by 25%, resulting in a $5,000 annual saving.
Managed payroll, reconciliations, and AP with precision—despite high transaction volumes and limited support.

Payroll Manager

JohnsonDiversey, Inc.

12.2004 - 07.2015

This was the role that made me. I began as an individual contributor and was promoted into leadership, overseeing payroll for 5,000+ employees, across multiple cycles, regions, and bonus structures. My growth here was forged in crisis, transformation, and trust.

From recovering $4.7M in receivables for Coca-Cola to running manual payroll for 600 employees during a full system outage, I proved—again and again—that payroll isn't just about numbers. It's about people, credibility, and protecting the heartbeat of the business.

Directed complex payroll operations for 5,000+ global employees, ensuring compliance across diverse jurisdictions.
Led a full-scale migration from legacy systems to ADP Workforce, increasing automation, audit readiness, and system resilience.
Identified and recovered $4.7M in overdue receivables for The Coca-Cola Company through meticulous account review—preserving a flagship client relationship.
Promoted to lead a 7-person team based on operational leadership, process integrity, and sustained excellence.
