Payroll Advisory

Confidence in Payroll. Clarity in compliance.

Payroll is one of the most complex and business-critical functions in any organisation. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and the criminalisation of wage theft, businesses must ensure their payroll systems, processes and teams are not only compliant but also resilient.

At KordaMentha, we help organisations navigate this complexity with confidence.

Our payroll advisory specialists provide strategic guidance and hands-on support to strengthen payroll and HR operations. We assess current-state processes, systems and team capability, and implement robust controls to mitigate compliance risks under the Fair Work Act, ATO obligations and state-based legislation.

Whether you're responding to regulatory change, preparing for growth, or remediating past issues, we bring clarity and assurance to every stage of the payroll lifecycle.

We work alongside boards, CFOs and HR leaders to deliver practical, defensible outcomes, ensuring payroll becomes a source of confidence, not concern.

Who are we?

Our team of experts can assist with strategic advice to set up for growth outcomes and effective monitoring and review your Payroll and HR processes, systems and team performance and provide advice to give your business confidence in their payroll outcomes.
