Payroll Officer

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 to 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.
