This is the age of the payroll specialist

“When I worked in corporate we engaged a premier chartered accounting firm to do a payroll audit for one of our franchises. They said they could do it, but it quickly became apparent that they were making it up as they went. That’s when I saw the need for specialist payroll auditors – even as a chartered accountant I engage tax specialists. The same applies to payroll.”

– Valerie Broomfield (B. Comm CA ), founder.

Payroll is our forté

Payroll Matters founder Valerie Broomfield (B. Comm CA) and Registered Financial Advisor (RFA) was the chief financial officer for a major New Zealand franchise chain when she recognised that there were no specialist payroll auditors who could help her solve some of the complexities of payroll.

“In every industry I worked – from travel to office supplies, recruitment and quick service restaurants – there was always a whole new set of challenges around paying staff correctly. I realised mistakes were too easily made, and even though there are good payroll systems out there, they’re not all fully equipped to consider the many variables and decide how to pay someone.”

– Valerie Broomfield (B. Comm CA ), founder.

Backed by extensive experience in payroll compliance and working closely with employment law experts, you can be confident that with Payroll Matters your payroll is in safe hands.
