• Serve as a subject matter resource for prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, and certified payroll requirements across the business.
• Support payroll tax reconciliation, audit requests, and compliance documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
• Build, improve, and maintain payroll reports, data validations, and recurring analysis to strengthen accuracy, visibility, and decision-making.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual tasks, streamline workflows, and improve payroll processes using Excel, Alteryx, reporting tools, and other technology.
