Payroll & HR Services | Shoalhaven & Illawarra

Payroll made accurate, compliant, and stress-free.

Pay your team correctly and on time, every time. We handle STP, super, award rates, leave, and end of financial year payroll. Because we also do the bookkeeping, your payroll and your books stay in sync. We work with businesses in the Shoalhaven, Illawarra, Southern Highlands, and beyond.

Payroll & HR support that handles payroll for small and medium businesses, so you can focus on running yours.

Paying your team correctly and on time isn’t just good business. It’s a legal obligation.

Award rates, Single Touch Payroll, super rules, and Fair Work requirements change often, meaning payroll can get complicated fast. East Coast Bookkeeping & Business Solutions handles payroll for small and medium businesses, so you don’t have to keep track of every change.

Our team are registered BAS agents and work with Xero, MYOB, and other payroll software. We stay across the details to make sure your staff are paid correctly and your records stay clean.

Payroll processing

We manage the full pay cycle, whether your team is paid weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. That includes calculating wages, processing pays, checking deductions, and recording leave.

We run your pay accurately and on time, so your staff can trust they’re paid correctly.

Single Touch Payroll support

Single Touch Payroll means reporting payroll information to the ATO every time you pay your team. We handle STP setup, reporting, submissions, and corrections.

Since 1 July 2026, STP reports must also include super details for each employee. It’s one of those tasks that seems simple until something changes. We keep it accurate and up to date.

Superannuation management

Under Payday Super, employers must now pay super at the same time as wages, not quarterly. Contributions need to reach each employee’s fund within seven business days of payday.

We calculate super, make sure it’s paid on time to the right funds, and keep up with any further changes. If you’re not sure your payroll is set up for Payday Super, we can check it for you.

Award and regulation monitoring

Payroll gets more complicated when your staff are covered by Modern Awards, penalty rates, overtime, allowances, or industry-specific conditions. This is common in construction, childcare, healthcare, hospitality, and retail.

We’re across award and Fair Work changes that affect your team. We’ll let you know when a change may affect your pay runs, wage costs, or reporting.

EOFY payroll compliance

The end of the financial year puts extra pressure on business owners and admin teams. We handle your year-end payroll requirements, including STP finalisation and reporting, so you can close the payroll year without the scramble.

Clean payroll records also make life easier for your accountant, your team, and your future self.

Leave, entitlement and employee records

We track annual leave, personal leave, long service leave, and other entitlements. Accurate records protect both you and your staff, with a clear view of what has been accrued, taken, and owed.

We can also help with onboarding new staff, setting up employee records, and keeping employment details up to date.

Who this service is for

Our payroll and HR services suit businesses with employees, growing teams, and employers in award-based industries. They’re also a good fit if you’re preparing for the end of financial year, an ATO review or adjusting to Payday Super.

Switching is simpler than you might expect. We set up your payroll and bring across your existing records, even partway through the year. If you only need a payroll clean-up or a hand getting set up, see our one-off services and training.

We work with businesses in many industries, especially those covered by awards. We support business owners in Berry, Kiama, Nowra, Shellharbour, Ulladulla, Wollongong, the Southern Highlands, and Australia-wide from our office in South Nowra.
