Anthony S.
Payroll & HRIS Consultant | Business Process | Reporting & Analysis
I help organizations solve complex payroll, HRIS, reporting, and business-process problems. I’m an MBA and Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) with 15+ years of experience across payroll operations, HRIS, multi-state payroll, implementations, compliance, reporting, reconciliations, process improvement, and operational leadership. My experience includes healthcare, manufacturing, shared services, and complex multi-entity environments supporting thousands of employees. My specialty is troubleshooting. When payroll is wrong, a reconciliation doesn’t balance, a process is breaking down, reporting isn’t providing the right answers, or an implementation needs experienced functional support, I can help identify the root cause and develop a practical solution. Areas I can support include: • Payroll troubleshooting, audits, reconciliations, and root-cause analysis • Multi-state payroll and payroll compliance • Payroll reporting, Excel analysis, and data validation • HRIS and payroll system implementation/support • Business-process analysis and process improvement • SOPs, process documentation, controls, and workflow development • Requirements gathering, UAT, testing, and implementation validation • FLSA regular-rate-of-pay and overtime calculations • Payroll tax and SmartCompliance troubleshooting My systems experience includes ADP GlobalView, ADP Vantage, ADP SmartCompliance, SAP Payroll, UKG Workforce Management/Kronos, WFS Time, Spinifex reporting, and Microsoft Excel. I’ve led payroll teams and enterprise payroll operations, supported major system implementations, and worked cross-functionally with HR, Finance, IT, Operations, vendors, and implementation partners. In one current consulting engagement supporting approximately 4,000 employees across five legal entities and employees in approximately 30 states, process and operational improvements helped increase payroll accuracy from approximately 85% to 98%. Whether you need help diagnosing a specific payroll issue, reviewing a process, building a reconciliation or report, documenting procedures, supporting an implementation, or strengthening payroll controls, I bring both hands-on payroll expertise and an operational problem-solving approach. If you have a payroll or HRIS problem that needs to be untangled, send me a message and tell me what’s happening.
