This role is central to ensuring accurate and timely payroll processing for our clients, while maintaining compliance with New Zealand's payroll and taxation regulations.

We're committed to delivering expert professional services, fostering a culture of honesty, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

About You

You'll be a confident, proactive payroll professional who thrives in a deadline driven environment.  Your ability to demonstrate strong technical payroll expertise combined with exceptional attention to detail and client service will give you the edge.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and reconcile payroll reports, including submissions to clients and government agencies.
  • Calculate and process termination payments, leave entitlements, and superannuation contributions.
  • Provide professional and timely responses to client payroll queries.
  • Support clients with payroll setup, onboarding, and system training.
  • Collaborate with the accounting and finance teams to ensure accurate payroll data reporting.
  • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance service efficiency.

Skills & Experience:

We require a minimum of five years' experience as a Payroll Administrator or in a similar position, with an in-depth understanding of New Zealand payroll legislation and compliance requirements. Excellent communication and relationship management skills and a proven ability to prioritise tasks, manage deadlines, and work autonomously is essential. An accounting or bookkeeping qualification, and experience with cloud-based accounting platforms will be considered advantageous.

Why Join Us?
