CEO

Garcia Hanson-Francis is the owner of CADJPro Payroll Solutions. A business payroll, virtual outsourcing, and bookkeeping business. Garcia recently joined BACD’s Expert Network, and as such, we want to share their expertise with you. Her qualities include problem-solving, proficiency with industry software, communication with clients and employees.

“Most people don’t know that I work behind the scenes like a back-office person and that gives the idea that I am not upfront and pushy and sometimes business owners see that as a setback to do work with me. decision,” says Garcia.

I am passionate about payroll and I enjoy connecting with all businesses but I won’t push to make a decision,” says Garcia.

Garcia has spent over a decade in the industry, perfecting her skills and understanding the intricacies of small business pay before launching a business of her own.

CADJPro strictly operates under Canadian payroll laws to ensure accuracy and reliability, and proper certification is key when hiring our payroll professionals. The company is a privately owned, female-run business to help other businesses run smoothly and efficiently through virtual payroll.

According to Garcia, “It is a fundamental human right that every single person gets paid properly for their hard work.

From over a decade of experience working in human resources, payroll, benefits, and accounting, I have seen time and time again the importance of both the trust between employee and employer and the necessity for a smooth payment process within a company.

A trusting and efficient work environment is critical for any functioning business.

That’s where the idea of CADJPro came from.

At CADJPro, we value honesty, tolerance, and transparency between every client and employee. They have a vision for unproblematic and error-free payroll systems that help businesses operate as usual by offering virtual outsourcing and constant contact.

From helping small businesses get off the ground to supporting female entrepreneurs, we are dedicated to strengthening the trust between employer and employee while implementing a stress-free payment process.

Overcoming Barriers & Becoming a Mentor

Garcia had to overcome numerous obstacles to culminate into today’s leader. From financial support, balancing responsibilities, inadequate support system, timidity- shy about touting her accomplishment and being afraid of being labeled as proud and boastful! But she successfully overcame them and made a mark in the industry.

“I participate in mentoring women who are in up-and-coming business, I celebrate and acknowledge other female owners accomplishments and I help other female owners to get started with their business. I also buy products made by women to help financially,” explains Garcia. “I acknowledge their strengths and potential contributions. Wherever I see weakness I work with team members to empower them and help them grow away from the weakness.”

The steadfast leader is still looking for ways to be more successful. It took years for her to go to school, work for different organizations, and participate in workshops to understand failures. “Advice to share is don’t give up, it looks hard and no one can stop you but God and yourself. You are who you make yourself to be, not what others think or say about you,” elucidates Garcia. Armed with this willpower, she has taken the company to new heights.
