Payroll processing for Kellyville and Sydney businesses
Payroll is one of the few areas of a business where mistakes are felt immediately, by your staff, and scrutinised closely, by the ATO. SMA Business Advisory provides payroll processing for business owners across Kellyville and Sydney who need pay runs, superannuation and Single Touch Payroll reporting handled accurately and on time.
Payroll handled accurately, every pay cycle
Every pay run touches wages, superannuation and statutory reporting, and getting each of these right consistently is what keeps a business both compliant and trusted by its own team.
SMA Business Advisory provides payroll processing for business owners across Kellyville and Sydney who need pay runs, superannuation and Single Touch Payroll reporting handled accurately and on time. This is the operational running of payroll itself, distinct from payroll tax compliance, which is covered on our Payroll Tax page.
From the pay run through to
your year-end reporting
Payroll processing with SMA covers each part of running payroll accurately, from the pay run itself through to your end-of-year reporting obligations.
- Regular pay runs
- Superannuation guarantee
- Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting
- Payslips and employee records
- Leave accrual tracking
- New employee and termination processing
Overseen with the same care as your tax work
Payroll processing at SMA is overseen by Manraj, a CPA-qualified, registered tax agent with 15+ years’ experience, so your payroll obligations are handled with the same accuracy and oversight as your tax and compliance work.
This suits you if you employ staff and want pay runs, superannuation and STP handled accurately without doing it yourself, if you want payroll compliance reviewed by someone who also understands your broader tax position, or if you’re growing your team and want payroll set up properly from the start. If you already use a dedicated in-house payroll system producing accurate, compliant pay runs, SMA’s other services can work alongside what you have in place.
- Payroll overseen by a CPA-qualified, registered tax agent, not a standalone payroll processor
- One person managing payroll who also understands your broader tax position
- Support for businesses of any size, from a single employee up to larger teams
- STP reporting and year-end finalisation handled as part of the service
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
Is this the same as payroll tax?
No. This service is the operational running of payroll itself, pay runs, superannuation and STP reporting. Payroll tax is a separate state-based tax obligation, covered on our Payroll Tax page.
How many employees can you process payroll for?
Payroll processing is available for businesses of any size, from a single employee up to larger teams.
Do you handle superannuation payments as well as the calculation?
Superannuation guarantee amounts are calculated as part of each pay run and prepared for payment in line with the statutory due dates.
What is STP and do you take care of it?
Single Touch Payroll is the ATO’s system for reporting pay run data in real time. SMA handles STP reporting for every pay run and completes STP finalisation at year end.
Can you process payroll for casual or contract staff as well as permanent employees?
Yes, payroll processing covers casual, part-time, full-time and other employment arrangements, provided they’re set up correctly in your payroll system.
What software do you use for payroll?
We run payroll through Xero. If you’re not already set up, our Xero Setup and Support service will get you there.
What happens at the end of the financial year?
STP finalisation is completed so employee income statements are ready for their own tax returns, and any year-end payroll reconciliation is carried out.
