Payroll and super together at last

No more visiting multiple systems or manually entering data in the ATO clearing house. Super is calculated and tracked when you record employees’ pay.

Stress-free batch payments

Beam loads up all employees’ contributions and sends them in a single batch when you’re ready. This means no wasted time with data extracts or the external clearing house. You can also choose between multiple payment options including BPay, EFT and direct debit.

Stay on top of payment schedules

Comprehensive payment history and error handling will ensure you’ll never lose a payment. Contribution data is validated before submitting, so you can be confident that your data is in order. You’ll also receive contribution and payment notifications at key moments to keep you in the know.

“QuickBooks helps a lot. It doesn’t matter where I am, I can keep an eye on what’s going on. We’ve integrated it with the ATO, which makes my life so much easier. It gives me so much confidence that now when I am overseas I can actually take time to rest”
