Your Trusted Partner for Smooth and Stress-Free Accounting Platform for Xero Payroll Setup
Setting up payroll in Xero isn’t just about entering employee details—it’s about getting every setting right so your business stays compliant and your employees are paid correctly. Whether you’re starting fresh or moving from another system, Cloud Accounting provides a professional Xero Payroll Setup service that ensures everything is in place from the start.
We help business owners and accounting professionals implement payroll systems that are accurate, compliant, and integrated with their accounting. From employee setup to tax rules and reporting, we handle the setup so you can focus on managing your team—not fixing payroll issues later.
Our Xero Payroll Setup is a complete service designed to ensure your payroll is ready for live pay runs and meets all local compliance standards. Here’s what we deliver:
We enter all employee information including personal details, tax file numbers, superannuation (where applicable), leave entitlements, and bank details.
We configure all relevant tax settings—such as PAYG withholding, super contributions, and other statutory obligations—based on your location.
We set up weekly, fortnightly, or monthly pay cycles according to how your business pays staff. This includes automation settings and reminders.
We link your payroll directly to your general ledger in Xero so all wages, liabilities, and tax payments are correctly tracked and reported to cloud.
We configure annual leave, sick leave, and other entitlements to match your policies and local labour laws.
We prepare your system for accurate payroll reporting and configure access levels for payroll admins, bookkeepers, and staff.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Our approach is guided by real-world experience, Xero certification, and attention to detail. Whether you’re setting up payroll for a startup or managing a multi-region team, we make sure it’s accurate, compliant, and ready for pay day.
