As the end of the financial year approaches, many businesses are evaluating their tools and processes. For those using Xero, the choice of payroll solutions can make a significant difference. While Xero Payroll is a popular option, Smartly is emerging as a compelling alternative. But what makes Smartly stand out? Let’s break it down:

Unmatched customer support

Smartly’s customer support is truly second to none. With a dedicated Kiwi-based team available Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 6 pm, they offer you the help you need when dealing with payroll complexities. Phone wait times are typically just 3 to 5 minutes, and their convenient call-back feature means you won’t be stuck on hold.

They offered automated payroll payments

They don’t just do automated payday filing for you, they do automated payments, too. That means once you process payroll, all the payments – whether to employees, the IRD, or KiwiSaver – are automatically taken care of.

Experience effortless onboarding

Switching payroll providers can seem like a headache, but Smartly makes it easy with their dedicated onboarding team. From the start, Smartly processes are designed to help identify any non-compliance issues and make sure your payroll is in tip-top shape. Compliance is a key area of their expertise, seamlessly integrated into their software and every aspect of their service.

They integrate with Xero accounting software!

Our favourite part? Smartly integrates effortlessly with Xero accounting, a definite bonus for any accountant thinking of making the switch. What could be better than specialised payroll software and specialised accounting software working in harmony? (…apart from fish n chips on a Friday night?!)

Outsource your payroll administration

For those who prefer to avoid the hassle of payroll admin, Smartly also offers a Managed Payroll Service. With a dedicated account manager, businesses benefit from a tailored payroll process and stay informed of legislative changes, such as tax and minimum wage updates, staying compliant without the stress.

With over 22,000 Kiwi businesses trusting Smartly to handle their payroll needs, it might be time to consider making the switch today.
