About Karissa T.

As Senior Payroll Analyst & life coach, I combine my expertise in payroll systems and processes w/ my passion for helping others. I have 17 year experience as a senior payroll analyst from start ups to JPMorgan Chase & Co as a leading provider of financial services solution & 3 years of experience as a self-employed life coach, guiding my clients to find their fulfillment from the inside out.In my current role, I leverage my skills in ADP, Dayforce, SQL, and state and locality tax law to ensure accurate and timely payroll processing for Canadian and multi-state employees. I also apply my critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving abilities to audit, validate, and troubleshoot data, build reports, and correct errors, as well as to collaborate and train other departments. As a life coach, I use active listening, compassion, honesty, and respect to empower everyone around me to achieve their goals. I am always eager to learn, improve, and contribute to the success and well-being of my team, my organization, and my clients.
