About the Company

Our client is a well-established professional services organisation seeking an experienced Payroll Officer to join their collaborative payroll team.

This is a great opportunity for a payroll professional who enjoys variety and working across different payroll environments. Rather than being responsible for one internal payroll, you’ll manage payroll activities across a portfolio of clients, providing accurate, compliant and timely payroll services.

Working within a small and supportive team, you’ll have exposure to a broad range of payroll requirements while building strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end payroll processing across multiple client accounts.
• Assist with new client onboarding and employee setup.
• Maintain accurate employee payroll records, including tax, superannuation and employment details.
• Process monthly payroll data, leave and reporting requirements.
• Prepare and manage payroll tax and superannuation lodgements.
• Assist with WorkCover and workers compensation requirements.
• Support month-end and EOFY payroll reporting.
• Process terminations, redundancies, LSL and other complex payroll requirements.
• Respond to payroll queries and provide a high level of client service.
• Work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to resolve payroll issues.
• Identify opportunities to improve payroll processes and operational efficiency.

Skills and Experience

• Previous end-to-end payroll experience, ideally across multiple payrolls.
• Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, including STP, superannuation and payroll tax.
• Experience managing high-volume payroll processing.
• Understanding of terminations, redundancies, LSL, WorkCover and payroll reporting.
• Strong attention to detail and excellent numerical skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong organisation and time management skills.
• A hands-on, collaborative approach with a genuine client-service mindset.
• Strong Microsoft Excel and Word skills.
• Experience with HR3 is highly regarded.

Key Benefits

• Join a supportive and collaborative payroll team.
• Opportunity to develop your payroll and client management skills.
• Work in a role that offers more variety than a traditional single-client payroll position.
• Join a well-established and growing professional services organisation.
