A lot of businesses like to do their own payroll because they think it may be too costly to get a bookkeeper to do it. In actual fact, it’s quite the opposite.

Incorporating payroll into your bookkeeping service could be as little as an extra half an hour, depending on your payroll structure.

With accounting software and integrated payroll apps becoming more advanced, it’s now easier than ever for employees to log their own hours—right from their phones—without the hassle of emailing timesheets back and forth.

Apps like Xero Me or Deputy simplify the process, while ABA files make it easy for me to email a payment file to you, so you stay in control of when wages are paid, without the risk of keying in the wrong amounts.

When you hand over payroll to a bookkeeper, it takes a load off your shoulders. I don’t just process pay runs—I also handle the Super Guarantee, and now with integrated clearing house features, super can be lodged directly through the software, keeping everything efficient and compliant. 

And with new rules starting 1 July 2026, super will need to be paid at the same time as wages—making it even more important to have a smooth payroll system in place.

Just imagine not having to worry about it any longer.
