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
To be considered for this role you will have:
  • Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation (Super Guarantee, STP, payroll tax)
  • Hands-on experience with SAP HR/Payroll (or similar systems)
  • Solid GL and balance sheet reconciliation experience
  • Advanced Excel skills and a genuinely analytical mindset
  • Comfort interpreting awards and enterprise agreements
  • A relevant payroll or accounting qualification
Based in North Sydney, reporting into the Payroll Team Lead, this is a chance to be part of a business navigating real change — with all the variety and momentum that brings.
