International payroll and accounting services

International organisations can specialise in their business in Australia whilst minimising additional administrative overheads.

Doing business in another country can be daunting. Compliance with local employment, taxation and corporate law requirements is a crucial part of successfully operating any business and you need to know that these are well managed.

Saward Dawson provides accounting and payroll services specially designed to meet the needs of international organisations. Our service offering includes payroll processing and administration, routine bookkeeping, monthly accounting and international reporting as well as taxation and company secretarial services. A package of services can be tailored to specifically meet your needs.

Payroll services

Every country has its own set of laws and obligations when it comes to employment and payroll practices. Australia is no exception. International businesses need to seek Australian advice and assistance when employing people in Australia.

Saward Dawson's payroll services are ideally suited to organisations that employ a small team of people in Australia, for example a small sales team, but who do not wish to engage payroll and employment administration staff here.

We can handle the regular payroll administration as well as the Australian Taxation Office compliance work. Our team can also assist with other employment issues such as long service leave, personal leave, compulsory superannuation, worker’s injury insurance, and state payroll tax.

Single point administration

Saward Dawson is your Australian payroll administrator. We are your single point of enquiry and assistance for your employees while also managing all your statutory requirements. Our team make all the necessary calculations and prepare the funding requests from your parent company.  The total cost for the payroll cycle is transferred to our trust account from which we make all the necessary payments to employees, the Australian Taxation Office, superannuation funds and other distributions as necessary.

At the end of each quarter and financial year we attend to statutory reporting requirements, including quarterly Business Activity Statements and PAYG summaries.

Accounting Services

The needs of international organisations operating in Australia vary tremendously. Some may have just a few transactions with simple accounting needs. Others may have their basic bookkeeping needs met and require assistance with the preparation of monthly accounts and international reporting packs. Still others may have their own dedicated accounts department but require specialist assistance. Saward Dawson is able to assist in meeting all of these needs.

Our range of services includes:

	Basic bookkeeping services
	Provision of accounting staff whether that is one day per month or quarter or a more frequent commitment
	Preparation of monthly reports
	Assistance with annual budget preparation
	Specialist advice on GST, income tax, corporate structure and company secretarial issues
	Preparation of income tax returns, Business Activity Statements and FBT returns
	Attendance to audit needs or arranging another auditor if necessary.

Saward Dawson can be your outsourced accounts department. We enable you to have access to the level of accounting expertise required, whether this is basic bookkeeping, the Chief Financial Officer level or something in between. It is available when you need it and for as long as you need it.

This solution is ideal for a start-up business or one that cannot support its own accounting department. It is a cost effective solution that you can rely upon.
