Due to a recent acquisition there is an urgent requirement for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join the business. You will be required to keep things running smoothly through the transition.

This isn't a "process and forget" payroll role. You'll own superannuation processing, STP lodgement, payroll tax across multiple jurisdictions, and GL reconciliations — while working closely with Finance, P&C;, and external bodies like the ATO.

What you'll be doing:
Processing and reconciling superannuation payments and STP submissions
Preparing and lodging payroll tax returns across relevant states
Validating payroll GL reports and supporting balance sheet reconciliations
Reconciling payroll-to-finance system interfaces
Investigating and resolving payroll reporting discrepancies
Supporting month-end/year-end payroll accounting and process improvement
