Katie Birky
Payroll Operations Manager
Pet Mom, Space Lover, Concert Goer
Katie has 12+ years of payroll and human resources experience and has worked with clients from varying industries. Katie originally set off in her career to work in healthcare because she loves helping people, but found herself working in payroll and, to her surprise, enjoyed it. Providing payroll-related solutions to small growing businesses allowed her to extend her caring nature in other ways that she found just as much fulfillment from as working in healthcare. Katie is a builder and an innovator, and has a special skill for finding solutions to complex problems in creative ways. She has a history of delivering excellent customer service and providing a high level of care and attention to her clients. She understands the difficulties and nuances that small business owners face.
In her free time, Katie loves spending time with her husband, two dogs, and four cats. Katie loves to travel around the country with her husband while following around their favorite bands and seeing them in concerts. Katie also has a passion for space and rockets, so she is always watching live streams of rocket launches and staying up to date on all of the missions. She also enjoys playing video games in her down time. Katie is ecstatic to be a part of Valor Payroll Solutions and cannot wait to see what the future holds.
