Payroll services

Payroll services for Canberra small businesses

Payroll has to be right every time. People notice when it isn't. We run your pay runs in Xero, report them to the ATO and pay super on time, so payroll is off your list.

What's included

  • Set up employees, pay rates and leave in Xero
  • Process weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay runs
  • Work out PAYG withholding on every pay
  • Report each pay run to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll
  • Pay super each payday, on time
  • Calculate leave accruals and keep balances, allowances and pay rates up to date
  • New starters, terminations and end-of-year finalisation

Payday Super started on 1 July 2026

Super must now be paid every payday and reach each employee's fund within seven business days. The ATO's free Small Business Superannuation Clearing House has closed. If you used to pay super quarterly, your process needs to change. We set it up so super goes out with every pay run.

Single Touch Payroll (STP)

Every pay run is reported to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll. We check each one before it goes, and finalise your STP by 14 July each year, so your employees' income statements are ready.

Outsourced payroll that stays local

Handing over payroll doesn't mean losing sight of it. We can send each pay run to you to approve before it's paid, and you deal with the same Canberra bookkeeper every time.
