    • Validating payroll GL reports and supporting balance sheet reconciliations
    • Reconciling payroll-to-finance system interfaces
    • Investigating and resolving payroll reporting discrepancies
    • Supporting month-end/year-end payroll accounting and process improvement
    To be considered for this role you will have:
    • Strong knowledge of Australian payroll legislation (Super Guarantee, STP, payroll tax)
    • Hands-on experience with SAP HR/Payroll (or similar systems)
    • Solid GL and balance sheet reconciliation experience
    • Advanced Excel skills and a genuinely analytical mindset
    • Comfort interpreting awards and enterprise agreements
    • A relevant payroll or accounting qualification
    Based in North Sydney, reporting into the Payroll Team Lead, this is a chance to be part of a business navigating real change — with all the variety and momentum that brings.
