Our Payroll Management Process
Step 1: Setup & Integration
We get your systems sorted from day one.
Our team sets up your payroll software, configures Single Touch Payroll (STP), and ensures SuperStream is ready to go. If you’re switching from another provider, we handle the transition smoothly.

We manage weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay runs, process payslips, track leave and entitlements, and calculate superannuation.

You stay compliant & we stay across the rules.
We take care of your STP lodgements, reporting obligations, and maintain accurate records to meet Fair Work and ATO requirements.
