Choosing a payroll firm in Sydney
How to choose: (1) match the firm to your size and stage — a landlord and a 40-person company need different people; (2) confirm the qualification for regulated work (CPA, ACA / ICAEW, ACCA, CA (CA ANZ, CPA Canada, SAICA), CIMA, EA (US Enrolled Agent), Steuerberater, Expert-comptable); (3) ask for a fixed fee in writing; (4) check they use software you can log into; (5) talk to one existing client in your sector.
As one of the larger markets in Australia for accounting, Sydney firms range from sole practitioners handling personal returns to multi-partner offices running statutory audits and outsourced finance functions. If you are early-stage, a smaller local firm is usually faster and cheaper; above the audit threshold you will want a firm with a registered auditor.
Payroll rules in Australia
In Australia, the recognised designation is CA (CA ANZ) or CPA (CPA Australia). Filing and oversight: ASIC; TPB registers tax agents; ATO for filing. Large proprietary companies must be audited; thresholds defined by ASIC. Individual returns due 31 October if self-lodging; later via a registered tax agent.
FAQ
- Can payroll be outsourced fully?
