About Tracey Roach Payroll Consultant in Progress | Systems-Savvy Finance Pro | Analyst Mindset | Lifelong Learner & Tech Enthusiast 🤖 Hi, I’m Tracey — a multi-skilled finance and payroll professional with over a decade of hands-on experience across payroll operations, bookkeeping, and systems integration. I’ve built my career around compliance, accuracy, and real-world problem-solving, and I’m now pivoting with purpose into payroll consulting and analyst roles, where I can blend that foundation with my love for systems and continuous improvement. 🧠 Why the Pivot? Because the part of my job I love most isn’t just running payroll — it’s fixing it. I thrive on: • Diagnosing system logic issues that cause compliance headaches • Translating award interpretations into actual system rules • Testing what works (and what doesn’t) • Building SOPs that don’t make your eyes bleed Where I’m Heading: I’m actively seeking opportunities to grow in the payroll systems consulting, analyst, or testing space — with my current company and or entry-level roles, contract projects, and anything where I can keep learning and add real value. I’m especially interested in: • Payroll compliance audits & configuration testing • Functional analyst or UAT roles in ERP/HRIS environments • AI tools and automation in payroll/finance (I’m exploring low-code workflows and API logic too) • Mentorship and collaborative team environments Toolkit Highlights: • iChris / HR21 | Xero | MYOB | Authority | QuickBooks | TANDA • Payroll compliance across multiple Awards & EAs • STP, salary packaging, onboarding workflows, termination audits • Building SharePoint-integrated trackers and file systems • Self-guided study in SAP, Employment Hero, and ISTQB foundations Education & Self-Study: • Completed various micro-credentials in payroll systems and ERP tools • Previously enrolled in a Diploma of Payroll Services; continuing to explore alternate pathways for formal accreditation • Self-led study in ISTQB, SAP, JIRA, and AI-based payroll automation 🤝 Let’s Connect: If you’re looking for someone who knows payroll from the trenches and is excited to level up into consulting and analyst spaces — I’m here. I bring real-world experience, a curious brain, and a strong coffee game. Let’s talk tech, payroll, process design, or wild Excel hacks.
