What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a payroll and finance role where I can ensure ATO-compliant processing (STP, PAYG, super, payroll tax), improve accuracy and turnaround times, and collaborate with teams using modern systems while mentoring others.

I’m a results-oriented payroll and finance professional with 15+ years of experience supporting businesses through compliant reporting, accurate processing, and continuous process improvement. In my current Payroll Officer role, I process end-to-end payroll for multiple clients, manage superannuation, payroll tax and PAYG withholding, and prepare and lodge Single Touch Payroll (STP) reports while reconciling payroll data to accounting systems.

Previously, as a Finance Officer and Finance Administrator, I owned month-end routines, reconciliations, accruals/prepayments, accounts payable workflows, and payroll operations (including leave requests, wage reallocations, timesheets and superannuation payments). I also implement and maintain finance systems—such as Xero and document/workflow platforms—and I actively train junior staff and stakeholders, so policies and software are embedded and teams can execute with confidence.
