Beth Patch Email & Phone Number

NOV 2008, I obtained a position with Pearl Automotive as a Payroll Administrator for the 250 employees. Using a totally unfamiliar software program (ADP), I was able to master it and become comfortable in my new position. I am responsible for the administration of the electronic timeclock, processing of payroll for 4 dealerships including various pay structures, processing of electronic child support payments and garnishments, and auditing quarterly tax reports.

In addition to working with our clients each year we are required to take 30 hours of education each year to continue our employment. I thoroughly enjoy working with the clients, helping both the new as well as the returning clients. I also enjoy learning so each year I usually take more than the mandatory 30 hours, learning about the various schedules involved in preparing tax returns.

In general, all administrative duties including accts receivable, accts payable, payroll, group insurance administration, pension administration, liability and workers comp insurance. Resolved invoice disputes. Entered invoices, coded and generated checks. Converted office into a computerized and efficient accounting operation by establishing specific policies and procedures.
