Payroll, handled carefully every pay run.

What's included

Payroll has more moving parts than most business owners expect. Every pay run needs the right rates, the right amount of tax withheld, super calculated correctly and the details reported to the ATO. Our payroll service covers:

• Employee setup. We set up new starters in your payroll software with the correct pay rates, tax details, super fund and leave entitlements, so they're paid correctly from their first pay.
• Pay runs. We calculate and process wages, allowances, deductions and leave on your pay cycle, whether that's weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and issue payslips.
• Superannuation. We calculate superannuation guarantee contributions for each employee and help you make sure they reach the right funds on time.
• Single Touch Payroll (STP). Employers must report wages, tax withheld and super to the ATO through STP each time they pay their employees. We handle that reporting with every pay run, and finalise your STP data at the end of the financial year.
• Award and regulation monitoring. Award rates and conditions change, most often after the Fair Work Commission's annual wage review. We keep an eye on the changes that affect your team and update your payroll when they apply.

Who it suits

Our payroll service works well for:

• businesses taking on their first employee that want everything set up correctly from the start
• owners who run payroll themselves and are spending too much time on it
• businesses whose staff are covered by a modern award, where getting rates and penalty rates right really matters
• growing teams whose payroll has outgrown a spreadsheet or a quick weekly process

Payroll pairs naturally with bookkeeping, because wages flow straight into your accounts and into the PAYG withholding figures on your BAS. Having both done by the same people means fewer loose ends.

We're based in Greensborough in Melbourne's north-east and look after payroll for businesses across Australia.

How it works

1. A free consultation. We talk through how many people you employ, your pay cycle, the awards that apply and the software you use.
2. Review and setup. We check your employee records, pay items, super fund details and STP connection, and fix anything that isn't right before the next pay run.
3. Every pay run. You let us know about hours, new starters, leave and any changes. We process the pay run, you approve it, payslips go out and the STP report is lodged.
4. End of financial year. We finalise your STP reporting so each employee's income statement is ready for them to lodge their own tax return.

Throughout the year we'll let you know about changes that affect what you pay, so there are no surprises for you or your team.
