Why waste your time with Payroll, outsource to Maree today!

Oh, I hear often many business owners who absolutely detest doing Payroll. They say it’s the worst job in the world.

Payroll is one thing many businesses should just outsource.

There is quite a lot involved with PAYG, Superannuation, making sure all employees are paid and receiving timesheets on time, the process of payroll can be extremely time consuming for any business that has staff.

Between making sure the business is running smoothly, training staff, meetings, looking after customers, growing the business, the last thing on a business owners mind is the Payroll.

I offer this to clients and it’s one of my most popular packages.

The package includes the following:

  • Processing of Payroll and emailing of payslips to employees
  • Single Touch Payroll Reporting
  • PAYG Lodgement
  • Superannuation Reconciliation and Lodgement
  • From 1 to 5 staff

Cost: $125.00 per month (GST Inclusive)

It’s actually extremely cost effective to outsource and if you have more staff, I can custom a package to suit.

You didn’t go into business to do your Payroll and Bookkeeping, BUT WE DID

We are a full service, insourced Payroll and Bookkeeping business that puts money back in your pocket. Our team works like a full-time employee and part of your business when it comes to processing your Payroll and bookkeeping, but without the cost or other concerns full time employees bring.   When compared to a full-time employee, we give you all the benefits and more but save you around $60,000 a year in costs, makes good financial sense!!

Why you should insource your Accounts Payable to Maree

So what is Accounts Payable? It is basically paying the suppliers you purchased goods from on credit.

You need to complete payments coming in from your suppliers and also going through all invoice expenses to make sure they are correct, plus processing into your accounting system correctly, verifying and reconciling invoices.

Now for the average business owner, this does not sound like fun. But for me, I love this, I really enjoy it.

The benefits of insourcing this task is that your supplier invoices are paid faster and on time. Business owners can get busy and forget to pay their suppliers on time, this can result in stop credit and comprise the business supply chain.

I do offer an Accounts Payable package which includes the following and I use our Better Accounts Payable Systems to avoid invoice duplication. Insourcing this can also be more profitable as I offer a package based on how many invoices as opposed to hourly rate.

For a small fee, this is what I offer:

  • Entering of Supplier invoices into your Bookkeeping system
  • Depending on client preference:
    (Option 1): Preparing a list of suppliers due to End of Month payment run
    (Option 2): Preparation of electronic file, client can then upload straight into their online banking
    (Option 3): Logging onto client’s bank and paying suppliers on client’s behalf

    5-10 Supplier invoices $120 Per month

(For more Supplier Invoices, contact Maree to custom a quote)

It really isn’t a lot of money in the whole scheme of things and many times I custom a quote if they have more each month.

If you would like to know more about what I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me.

1st October 2020 marks the start of the Job Keeper Extension

From 1st October, Job keeper 2 or the extension to Job Keeper has started, this link here provides a little bit more information.

I have received a number of calls from clients not sure how to determine not only if there are eligible but also what tier their employees or even themselves as business owner will be on.

People will need to total what their September Quarter sales were for 2020 and the same with 2019,.

If you have had a reduction of 30% or more, you will definitely be entitled to the Job Keeper extension.

Then you just need to use the reference period of Feb 2020 to determine if you or your staff worked more or less then the 80 hours in the month to determine the Tier.

If, you are still stuck and don’t have any idea what to do, please give me a call on
