If done incorrectly, businesses not only risk having issues with employees but penalties from government departments as well.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, businesses of all shapes and sizes look to outsource their payroll to bookkeepers, accountants, and other business advisors, presenting a fantastic business opportunity.<\/p>\n<h2>A fresh look at managing payroll in the era of Single Touch Payroll (STP)<\/h2>\n<p>Like general bookkeeping, payroll is quite literally an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/reckon-blog\/ancient-egyptians-the-original-bookkeepers1\/\">ancient practice<\/a> that has evolved significantly over the centuries. Now, in modern times, cloud software is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accounting-software\/\">accounting tool<\/a> that needs to be understood and utilised to its fullest in payroll processes.<\/p>\n<p>Desktop and other manual processes are out now that STP is in place. It\u2019s every Australian business&#8217;s responsibility to be reporting payroll to the ATO via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/single-touch-payroll\/stp-phase-2\/\">STP-enabled payroll software<\/a>. This is now mandatory, but luckily there are several more advantages to cloud payroll \u2013 largely collaboration, simplicity, automation, and accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2>Payroll processes and needs vary according to business size<\/h2>\n<p>Many larger employers will look to bookkeepers for a full payroll service, to completely manage the task on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Other small business clients will prefer to hire a bookkeeper only for certain tricky or time-consuming aspects of payroll and do the rest themselves. In the latter scenario especially, your client will likely be using payroll or accounting software to do the basics.<\/p>\n<p>This means, as a bookkeeper or advisor, you\u2019ll need to be able to work with their chosen cloud payroll solution. (It\u2019s easy to see why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/partners\/\">becoming accredited<\/a> in various payroll software on the market can prove to be an extremely good investment.)<\/p>\n<p>Being proficient with different brands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accounting-software\/payroll\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"75\">payroll software<\/a>, you can maximise your potential to engage new clients and offer tailored and knowledgeable services.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JOB230204_-_SBH_images_-_advantages_of_cloud_payroll.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Bookkeeping Marketing Strategy&#8221; title_text=&#8221;JOB230204 SBH Images Advantages Of Cloud Payroll&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Copy paste body text here&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>What are cloud payroll services?<\/h2>\n<p>To help solve their pain points and gain regular business for yourself, let\u2019s look at some of the most common cloud <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accountant-bookkeeper-resources\/payroll\/payroll-services\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"44\">payroll services you can offer business clients<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud-specific payroll services offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accountant-bookkeeper-resources\/starting-a-bookkeeping-business\/offering-bookkeeping-services-to-small-businesses\/\">bookkeepers in Australia<\/a> typically involve using cloud-based software to assist businesses in managing their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/bookkeeping\/how-to-do-payroll\/\">payroll processes<\/a> more efficiently.
