What Are Outsourced Payroll Services?

For the people who work for you, payday is not a line item. It is the mortgage, the rent, the weekly shop, and the quiet trust that the number will be right. Outsourced payroll services hand the whole responsibility of honouring that trust to a dedicated payroll team, so you no longer wrestle with pay runs, superannuation, and compliance in house. As your payroll service provider, we process wages, lodge Single Touch Payroll, remit superannuation payments, and keep you aligned with every legal obligation, while you focus on running the business.

Payroll outsourcing is not just for large companies. Many small businesses with anywhere from 5 to 50 employees outsource payroll once it grows too time consuming to manage alone. Whether you want fully managed payroll or a part-managed setup where some tasks stay in house, we build the service around your business needs.

Our Payroll Services

We cover the full payroll cycle, across the areas below.

Why Outsource Your Payroll

Payroll is one of the most time consuming and stressful tasks a small business owner carries. Between shifting pay rates, changing staff numbers, and legislation that rarely stays left unchanged, it eats into evenings and weekends that ought to belong to family or rest. Handing it over gives that time back, and with it, a little room to breathe.

The stakes are higher than they look. Payroll errors are not merely awkward, they are costly, and since 1 January 2025 the intentional underpayment of wages can be treated as a criminal offence under Australia’s wage theft laws, on top of Fair Work penalties that reach $93,900 for small businesses. Experienced professionals with extensive knowledge of payroll legislation shrink those compliance risks and, just as importantly, protect the relationship you have with the people who show up for you.

Payroll Compliance In Western Australia

Compliance carries a local layer here. Payroll tax in Western Australia applies once your wages pass $1 million a year, a threshold we monitor so you register at the right moment and not before you must. Above that sit the federal duties every employer shares, from PAYG withholding to Single Touch Payroll.

We stay across the near-constant churn of Australian payroll legislation, from award updates to the recent Closing Loopholes reforms, so you remain compliant without reading a word of it yourself. When rates move, your payroll moves with them.

Payroll Software We Work With

We work with the cloud based systems the accounting industry trusts, including Xero, MYOB, and Employment Hero. These platforms automate payroll processing, keep meticulous audit trails, and safeguard sensitive payroll data with robust encryption.

Cloud based payroll also means access from anywhere and no software for you to maintain. Your data stays secure, your records stay ready for any review, and your reporting reconciles cleanly with the rest of your accounts.

Who We Help

We look after payroll for Perth businesses of every shape, from cafes and trades to a recruitment agency juggling dozens of placements. Most of our payroll clients are small business owners with between 5 and 50 employees, the stage where handling payroll yourself quietly stops making sense.

If you are weighing an in house hire against outsourcing, we are usually the more efficient choice. You gain an entire payroll team for less than one salary, with no recruitment, no software licences, and no single point of failure the week your bookkeeper takes leave.

Client Success Story

A Cockburn Central hospitality group with a restaurant and a bar came to us close to breaking point. Thirty-odd casual and part-time staff sat across three modern awards, penalty rates shifted with every public holiday, and the owner spent his Sunday nights turning rosters into pay runs by hand, long after the last table had left. Then a chef realised she had been underpaid for months. Word travelled through the kitchen, morale sank, and the owner sat with the sinking feeling of having let down the very people who kept his doors open.

We moved the group onto cloud based payroll, mapped every role to the correct award, and took over the weekly pay runs, STP reporting, and superannuation. We recalculated the shortfall, corrected it, and disclosed it properly, then stayed alongside the owner while he explained the fix to his team. The Sunday night ritual ended. Staff now receive accurate payslips through a self-service portal, trust in the kitchen has been repaired, and he spends his weekends in the venues he built rather than buried in a spreadsheet.
