ZAMP HR Moves Away from Excel
Josh Shoemaker is a key member of Zamp HR, a professional employment employment organization specializing in HR compliance, payroll, and benefits for small companies. Starting as a Staff Accountant, Josh progressed to Controller as of June 2024, overseeing reconciliations and financial statement preparation.
Zamp HR manages extensive payroll data, necessitating robust automation for sustained growth. Previous manual processes, especially month-end close, and reconciliations, were time-consuming and error-prone.
