"In recent times, Advance has developed an online payroll system that is very user friendly yet secure. Our staff can now view their records, change contact details and check on leave availability when they want. At the same time, our field staff can get their payslips anywhere and our management team can review their staff's records as desired."

Testimonials

"Having used many different payroll providers in the past, I do recommend if any organization is looking for a payroll provider that they consider Advance Payroll Services based on the responsiveness of service, flexible reports, and the ability of staff to access their records online."

Advance Payroll Services has worked with DDI Asia / Pacific International Ltd since July 1999. I have found since my time in dealing with Advanced Payroll that their knowledge and service is professional, timely and proficient.

Outsourced payroll is a cost effective solution for small and medium sized companies.

"They provide an exceptional service with providing complete payroll requirements for our current 62 employees and their staff are always ready to assist in any way."

The Wirtgen Group is an international leader in road construction & mining technologies. Wirtgen Australia Pty Ltd spans the country with branches in QLD, VIC, WA & our Head Office in NSW. Our workforce is diverse and sometimes remotely located. With Advance Payroll Services this poses no issues. We use a combination of their online interface, with hardcopy payslips for personnel who cannot access a computer.

We have been with Advance Payroll since February 2009. They provide an exceptional service with providing complete payroll requirements for our current 62 employees and their staff are always ready to assist in any way. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wishes to improve their payroll efficiency. The cost involved in outsourcing our payroll to Advance Payroll is counteracted with the time saved in our business by no longer having to complete this onerous task.

"I use Advance Payroll as a shining example of what I expect from an outsourcing 'partnership'."

As Finance Manager of a rapidly growing multinational I regularly review all of our arrangements with outside companies and assess the cost/benefits of outsourcing versus employment of our own staff. I use Advance Payroll as a shining example of what I expect from an outsourcing "partnership".

We rely on Advance for all of our payroll needs and advice. Their professional approach to maintaining our records and improving our payroll system is second to none - as expected, our payroll is never an issue. In recent times, Advance has developed an online payroll system that is very user friendly yet secure.

Our staff can now view their records, change contact details and check on leave availability when they want. At the same time, our field staff can get their payslips anywhere and our management team can review their staff's records as desired.

Like most companies, we operate in a competitive environment where we value understanding, availability, flexibility and true partnerships. Advance exceeds our expectations at all levels.

"Advance Payroll Services delivered the system they promised and continue to deliver excellent ongoing customer service. The fact that they are always striving for system enhancements to improve the product makes it that much better."

Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics is Australia’s leading makeup brand that sells premium and mass market cosmetics via retail and wholesale channels; provides education and training services and participates in major fashion and beauty events.

Since opening its first flagship store in Paddington, Sydney in 1995 the company has grown to over 70+ concept stores, 6 Makeup Academies, expanded its distribution through two major retail partners in David Jones and Target in addition to supporting over 1,000 Independent specialty stores around Australia.

The diverse nature of the business and the overall spread across Australia means the payroll function needs to cover many areas within the realm of Industrial relations and subsequently must take into account the variety of industry awards such as education, retail, logistics, administration, travelling sales managers and creative artists, to name a few.

In 2010, with several changes being made to the National awards system, Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics decided that the growth of the brand warranted a professional specialist payroll function.

Advance Payroll Services were selected to fulfil this specialist function as it was proven that they provide a cost effective, highly responsive, customer orientated solution to businesses.

Advance Payroll Services made the set up of the payroll system simple and easy for the Napoleon Perdis business.

With staff located remotely all around the country, a test system set up by Advanced Payroll Services provided teams the ability to train, learn and use the system prior to rolling out. This trial period was vital to the success of the system’s implementation.

To date, Advance Payroll Services continue to provide the highest level of service to Napoleon Perdis by answering all queries promptly and by further developing the system to meet our specific needs.

The easy to use web based system allows managers and staff access to payroll information, timesheets, payslips, and payment summaries readily as required.

Advance Payroll Services delivered the system they promised and continue to deliver excellent ongoing customer service. The fact that they are always striving for system enhancements to improve the product makes it that much better.

I would not hesitate to recommend Advanced Payroll Services for your payroll needs.

"They are worth every last cent."

We have been using Advance Payroll Services since July 2000. They are worth every last cent. They take the "headache" out of payroll - I am very fortunate to have their services.

"We receive all the services of a large payroll company but with a personal touch."

Our company contracted Advance Payroll since 2002 to handle our payroll of at the time 70 employees. We have now doubled in size and Advance Payroll has provided a reliable and professional service every step of the way. They have accommodated to our systems which is forever improving and Advance Payroll have been more than happy to sit with us and find ways to make things work.

We receive all the services of a large payroll company but with a personal touch. They are always a quick call away when payroll and personnel queries arise and go out of their way to help which you don't usually find in large payroll companies.

What an excellent service you provide us, we could not be any happier. Thank you for the past 4 years and to many more to come.

"When I compare APS to other payroll bureaus I have worked with, it is very apparent that APS are payroll specialists and are not just processing information."

Arnold Stevens Finlay Pty Ltd has been aligned with Advance Payroll since 1999 and being a Chartered Accountants Practice we not only use their services ourselves but refer and recommend our clients to use their service also.

The team is always there to offer professional, effective advice which keeps us up to date with the latest Payroll requirements. This is all done with personal and proactive service. They are very much a part of our team.

It is never a problem to call, often giving only a couple of hours' notice, to receive a termination payment or late payroll file. As a business we appreciate good service and recognize its value to a business. It is really the only way to stay in business. That is why we feel that really good service needs to be acknowledged.

Advance Payroll Services is extremely competitive from a pricing perspective and saves us the cost of additional payroll personnel and system costs. It also means payroll information is stored and maintained for us, with easy access if required.

"It took me seconds to do the pays this week which is so fantastic."

I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the first payroll. The reports are fantastic and very easy to read. It took me seconds to do the pays this week which is so fantastic.
