Collaborate with Finance to provide general ledger payroll details, support reconciliations, and assist with monthly close processes. Develop and maintain custom payroll reports using ADP and Excel; support payroll-related decision-making through data analysis. Lead the integration of payroll systems during acquisitions and transition newly acquired entities onto ADP. Manage payroll amalgamations, ensuring all filings and transitions are executed by required deadlines.
