Have you ever thought payroll could be easier if you could just work with the team building it?

We’ve already built the best payroll software in Australia. Thousands of businesses use Tanda to roster, track time and pay their people accurately.

Now we want to go further. Payroll is still one of the most time-consuming and stressful jobs for business owners, and we have a big opportunity to take it off their plate completely. That’s why we’re hiring a Payroll Bookkeeper to help manage payroll for our clients, and work with our development team to help further improve the Tanda Payroll product.

Core Responsibilities

- Onboard new clients: Set up new managed payroll clients, including employee records, pay conditions, awards and opening balances, so they’re paid correctly from their first pay run.

- Run payroll end to end: Process accurate, on-time weekly, fortnightly and monthly pay runs for a portfolio of clients using Tanda Payroll.

- Get every pay right: Check timesheets, leave, allowances, penalty rates and award conditions before each pay run, and handle new starters, terminations and final pays.

- Keep clients compliant: Lodge Single Touch Payroll, process super payments and prepare payroll tax and workers’ compensation reporting accurately and on time.

- Keep the books clean: Reconcile payroll to clients’ accounting systems, including wages, PAYG withholding, super and leave liabilities, and complete end-of-financial-year finalisation.

- Be the go-to payroll contact for clients: Answer client and employee questions quickly, resolve issues and keep clients confident their payroll is in good hands.

- Work closely with the Tanda Payroll team: Share what clients need and help make both the product and the managed service even better.

- Make the process straightforward and scalable:



Spot recurring problems, improve our checklists and processes, and help us grow managed payroll to more clients.
