Payroll management
Payroll can be time-consuming. We look after your entire payroll process. From calculating wages and tracking leave to managing your end-of-year reporting, we ensure your staff are paid accurately and on time.
- Pay runs: Flexible weekly, fortnightly, or monthly pay runs with payslip distribution.
- Leave and entitlements: Accurate management of annual, personal, long service, and parental leave to keep your business fully compliant.

Common questions about bookkeeping and payroll
If your question is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you commit to anything.
Which accounting software do you work with?
Xero is our primary platform, and we help you set it up to suit your business. We can also assist if you already use MYOB or QuickBooks.
Can you take over from our current bookkeeper?
Yes, we can seamlessly step in and transition your accounts over to our team. We will clean up any outstanding complexities and streamline your process to ensure a smooth, stress-free handover without interrupting your day-to-day operations.
How often are the books done?
This depends entirely on the size and rhythm of your business. We typically work on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis to ensure your financial records stay accurate and up to date.
Do you handle Single Touch Payroll and superannuation?
Yes. We can handle your STP reporting and superannuation obligations, ensuring pay events are lodged correctly and super guarantee contributions are paid on time. If you’d rather keep payroll processing in-house or with your current provider, we can work alongside them and focus on the reporting and financial oversight instead.
What does bookkeeping and payroll cost?
We bundle cloud accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll solutions into clear, predictable compliance packages. For smaller operations, we charge in annual packages, generally ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. We will always agree on a clear scope with you before commencing.
