Experienced advisors

As part of Australian Payroll Association, Pulse Payroll helps employers solve payroll issues whether they be related to compliance, processes, payroll technology or your payroll team.

Our Team

Our team have conducted hundreds of payroll reviews over the past 20 years and have identified three areas that put employers at payroll risk.  They are your PEOPLE (resourcing and competency),  PLATFORMS (fit for purpose and configuration) and PROCESS (optimisation and governance).

Pulse Payroll’s highly trained and experienced consultants have chosen payroll as a career and are experts in their speciality. They are immersed within Australian Payroll Association so they are constantly alerted to any regulatory or compliance changes and have every necessary resource within easy reach.

Employers need a payroll partner who has a deep understanding of all the regulatory issues and risk relating to payroll, in order to diagnose and recommend preventative steps to ensure payroll optimisation and compliance. If needed, our payroll consultants will provide surgical oversight to remedy any payroll ailment.
