In-house payroll vs Accountee.
The proof
Teams that stopped touching payroll.
“We went from a full day a week on payroll to zero. Every contractor is paid right, on time, and we've had a clean run on compliance ever since.”
“Switching across was painless. They migrated everything and ran a parallel pay run so we knew it was right before go-live.”
“Awards used to keep me up at night. Now penalties and allowances just get applied correctly, every single cycle.”
A 140-contractor agency cut payroll admin to zero.
Weekly pay runs across six awards, margin invoicing and STP — fully handed over, with a clean compliance record since go-live.
In their words
Payroll, off their plate.

The things teams ask us before they switch.
Still unsure about something? A 15-minute chat usually clears it up.
We run payroll inside your existing stack — Xero, MYOB, Employment Hero, Deputy, KeyPay, Astute Payroll and more. There's no new platform for your team to learn and no software you have to buy. If you don't have a system yet, we'll recommend the right one and set it up.
Award interpretation is the core of what we do. We map every penalty, allowance, loading and overtime rule for your industry — Clerks, Construction, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Aged Care, Transport, Retail, Labour Hire and beyond — and apply them correctly on every pay run, including enterprise agreements.
No. We run payroll for teams from around ten people up to several hundred. The service scales with you — the same dedicated team handles you whether you add five staff or fifty.
We do the heavy lifting. We migrate your employee records, pay history, leave balances and award setup, run a parallel check against your last pay run, then take over. Most businesses are fully live within a couple of pay cycles with no disruption to staff.
Your data is handled by an Australian-based team with bank-grade encryption and strict access controls, kept onshore. We're built around Single Touch Payroll and ATO reporting requirements. (Specific certifications to be confirmed.)
Everything in a pay run: timesheet collection, award interpretation, processing, payslips, STP lodgement, super and leave accrual, and a dedicated contact. From $150/week plus $4.50 per person per pay run. No lock-in contracts and no hidden software fees.
