about payroll services
Most payroll providers simply run pay cycles and lodge PAYE. Our approach is built around the level of accuracy expected from a Chartered Accountant firm.
We do not rely on automated templates alone. Every payroll structure is reviewed by a qualified professional who checks how your pay rules interact with the Holidays Act, KiwiSaver obligations, and industry allowances.
We also audit your first month of payroll line by line to identify any long-standing issues such as miscalculated leave balances, mismatched ordinary weekly pay, or incorrect ESCT classifications. This gives you a payroll system that is correct at its foundation, not just processed on autopilot.
Most errors in New Zealand payroll come from incorrect setup, not from the pay runs themselves. During onboarding, we rebuild your payroll structure in a way that aligns with IRD requirements and Holidays Act calculations.
This includes verifying start dates, pay cycles, work patterns, public holiday eligibility, KiwiSaver contribution settings, student loan status, and ACC earner levy classifications. We also check historic leave balances, which many providers overlook.
If we find inconsistencies, we correct them before you run into compliance problems. A clean setup ensures that every future calculation is based on accurate rules, protecting your business from penalties and employee disputes.
Our team monitors IRD announcements, payroll legislation, and rate updates as part of your service. When IRD issues new thresholds or tax rules, we adjust your payroll settings before your next pay run. This includes updating ESCT rates, tax codes, student loan requirements, ACC levies, and any changes to PAYE filing obligations. You never need to track government updates yourself. Your payroll remains accurate, compliant, and ready for audit at all times.
We treat payroll as a compliance function, not a simple administrative task. Every pay run goes through a structured control process designed to catch issues before they reach the IRD or your employees.
First, we check the accuracy of hours, leave entries, allowances, deductions, and any updates for the period. After this initial verification, a senior team member reviews PAYE, ESCT, KiwiSaver settings, ACC classifications, and Holidays Act calculations to ensure compliance and catch issues automated systems often miss.
We also maintain a compliance tracker for each client that monitors minimum wage changes, key employee anniversaries, public holidays, parental leave impacts, and tax code updates. By tracking these details proactively, we reduce the risk of incorrect pay, filing errors, or compliance issues with the IRD.
Yes. We manage payroll for businesses across all pay cycles. Many NZ employers use weekly or fortnightly pay runs, which increases the administrative load and likelihood of errors.
Our system ensures that public holidays, leave accruals, and average earnings are calculated correctly across different cycles.
We also align your payroll calendar with cash flow planning, GST periods, and IRD filing deadlines, so your operational workflow stays consistent and well-organised.
As your business expands, payroll becomes more complex. We manage new employee onboarding by verifying tax codes, KiwiSaver status, employment type, work patterns, and leave entitlements before the first pay cycle.
When your team grows, we adjust your payroll structure to prevent future discrepancies. This includes updating pay calendars, creating new earnings templates, setting up allowances, and ensuring IRD records match your internal setup. Your payroll remains stable and scalable as your business evolves.
Payroll contains some of the most sensitive information a business holds. We use secure, industry-recognised systems for data handling, controlled-access portals for document sharing, and strict internal protocols that ensure only authorised personnel can view payroll information. All records are stored in a protected environment, and every process is designed to meet high confidentiality standards. You can trust that employee details, financial data, and IRD records are managed with care, accuracy, and full privacy protection.
