Managed Payroll Services Australia — Fixed-Fee, STP Compliant

Payroll processing for Australian small businesses — pay runs, superannuation, leave accruals, and STP Phase 2 lodgement, all managed inside your accounting software. From $249/month.

What We Do

Payroll handled correctly, every pay cycle.

advancr processes your payroll inside your existing accounting software — Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks — as part of your monthly bookkeeping subscription. No separate payroll system, no additional logins.

01
Pay Run Processing
Employee pay runs processed on your agreed schedule — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Gross pay, tax, and net amounts calculated and recorded in your accounting software.
03
Superannuation Calculation
Superannuation obligations calculated at the current guarantee rate for each employee. Amounts reconciled against your accounting records — ready for SuperStream payment each quarter.
04
PAYG Withholding
Tax withheld calculated for each employee based on their tax file number declaration. PAYG withholding amounts reconciled and reported in your quarterly BAS.
05
Leave Accruals
Annual leave, personal leave, and long service leave accrued and tracked inside your accounting software. Leave balances maintained accurately — no year-end reconciliation required.
06
Payslip Management
Payslips generated and distributed to employees after each pay run. Records maintained in your accounting software — accessible to you and your accountant at any time.

How It Works

Payroll on a schedule. Nothing to chase.

advancr processes payroll as part of your monthly bookkeeping subscription. Once your employee details are set up, pay runs run on a consistent schedule with minimal input from you.

Step 01
Employee setup in your software
During onboarding, we set up your employees in Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks — tax file numbers, employment type, pay rates, superannuation funds, and leave entitlements.
Step 02
You confirm hours each pay cycle
For salaried employees, pay runs are processed automatically. For casual or hourly staff, you provide hours via your shared workspace — no email chains, no manual spreadsheets.
Step 03
Pay run processed and lodged
advancr processes the pay run inside your accounting software, lodges the STP event with the ATO, and generates payslips for distribution to your employees.
Step 04
Records maintained and reconciled
Payroll records reconciled against your general ledger each month. Super obligations tracked, PAYG withheld recorded for BAS — your payroll is always audit-ready.
