Running payroll in Xero should be simple — but between Single Touch Payroll (STP Phase 2) reporting, superannuation guarantee changes, leave accruals and getting pay runs out on time, it’s easy for a busy small business owner to fall behind. GoBookaroo sets up, fixes and runs Xero payroll for small businesses across Norwest, Kellyville, The Hills District and Australia-wide, so your team gets paid correctly, on time, every time.
What our Xero payroll support covers
- Xero Payroll setup — getting your organisation, pay items, leave types and employee records configured correctly from day one.
- Single Touch Payroll (STP Phase 2) reporting — accurate, on-time STP lodgement through Xero each pay run.
- Superannuation guarantee — correct super calculations and on-time payments through Xero’s clearing house.
- Pay runs — weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay runs processed accurately and on schedule.
- Leave accruals — annual leave, personal leave and other entitlements tracked correctly in Xero.
- Payslips and employee records — accurate, compliant payslips and organised employee documentation.
- Xero payroll clean-up — fixing historical errors, duplicate employees, or incorrect pay item setup from a previous bookkeeper or DIY attempt.
Who this is for
This service suits small business owners already using Xero (or ready to move to it) who want their payroll handled by someone who knows the platform properly — tradies and trade businesses with on-site teams, cafes and hospitality businesses with casual and part-time staff, NDIS providers managing support worker pay runs, and any growing small business that’s outgrown doing payroll themselves in a spreadsheet.

Xero payroll FAQs
Do you set up Xero payroll from scratch?
Yes — if you’re moving to Xero or have never had payroll properly configured, we’ll set up pay items, STP Phase 2, super and employee records correctly from the start.
Can you fix a Xero payroll that’s already a mess?
Yes — Xero payroll clean-up is one of our most requested services, especially for businesses that inherited an incorrect setup or tried to DIY it.
Is this different to your general Payroll & HR service?
Our broader Payroll & HR support covers timesheets, leave management and HR admin generally; this page is specifically about running payroll inside Xero. Most clients use both together.
Do you work with businesses outside Xero?
We also support MYOB payroll — see our Xero bookkeeping page for our broader Xero services, or get in touch to discuss your platform.
Based in Kellyville or the wider Hills District? See our Kellyville bookkeeping services page for the full range of local support, or book a free consultation to get your Xero payroll sorted. If your team also needs Xero training or your file needs a clean-up, see our Xero training & optimisation service. Curious what’s new in Xero? See our roundup of new Xero features in 2026.
