KEY ACCOUNTABILITIESResponsible for the preparation, coordination and management of Powerlink’s payroll of 1486 employees. Accountable for integrating contemporary practices and innovative solutions into the business and providing specialist process analysis.Key Achievements• Influenced the process improvements and system changes necessary for Powerlink’s novated lease structure. The changes have had faster, easier to understand results for the employees who currently have novated leases, enabling collaboration between Powerlink and SG Fleet in delivering a highly successful product. The positive feedback and ongoing commitment from Powerlink employees has resulted in a record number of employees opting for the positive benefits of having novated leases.• The above changes then required me to liaise with a payroll contractor to build a report in SAP which would reconcile all the novated leases every pay period. Understanding the requirements between Powerlink and SG Fleet resulted in a report which has satisfied all the customers’ requirements and has saved two hours every pay period in the reconciliation of the leases.• Facilitated sessions between PCS and the Payroll team with the objective of achieving understanding and managing segregation of duties when employees purchase additional leave. I facilitated several discussions with the PCS leadership team using spreadsheets and graphic examples to explain the reasons behind the necessary differences. This has resulted in new process forms and a form to access a quote being uploaded on Energise for employees to use and then apply for additional leave. Both PCS and Payroll now have clear guidelines and this has resulted in a reconciliation report which provides all the necessary information on monies owed by either Powerlink or employees and enables Payroll to manage the commitments within the first two pay periods of the financial year.

Management Accountant ID&TS April 2011 to June2017Powerlink QLDKEY ACCOUNTABILITIES Financial management Divisional budgets Financial reporting Financial analysis Consultation and adviceKey Achievements• During significant restructures, I successfully managed and presented the divisional budgets for DTS to the Executive Manager and Group Managers within a shortened deadline. This resulted in a budget presented to the CEO and the executive team which clearly reflected the DTS divisional targets and benchmarks, met all the budgetary requirements, complied with the Powerlink FTE headcount and was approved at the first meeting. • Met with the Executive Manager of DTS and all the Group managers to provide detailed information regarding cost and expenditure reports. To explain the discrepancies around the FTE s and available positions, how positions could not overlap as this then resulted in over expenditure not compliant with their available budget. This resulted in increased visibility, awareness of divisional results and accounting responsibilities and a significant reduction in errors.• Facilitated meetings with all DTS employees on how to fill in their timesheets. A simple process yet errors caused major discrepancies. Explained the reasons why cost allocations were important and how this information affected the outcomes of project costs, labour costs and overheads. Filling in a timesheet with the correct hours and codes assisted DTS in gaining a stronger understanding of each teams’ actual costs against planned expenditure and how each individual contributed to the success of their team and division. This in turn enabled teams to present their budgetary requirements with valuable, trusted information.• • Communicated with Resource and Training Advisors in managing all training requirements. This resulted in managers being fully aware of the training status of their staff.
