Description
We’re BDO, a global professional services firm connected to local markets. Our people work together to provide specialist expertise, helping businesses achieve their goals.
We inspire others, to go further. We create together, to reach higher. We build trust, to lead purposefully.
Whether you're building your future or starting your career with us, you won’t do it alone. From creating solutions for our clients to building careers for our people, we shape what matters, and that’s where you come in.
About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Consultant to join our Payroll Consulting team.
Our Payroll Consulting team is an exciting, fast-paced, ever-changing and growing environment. As employers discovered the difficulties in maintaining compliance with their Industry Award or Enterprise Agreement, and Underpayments became apparent, the need for this service grew. Criminalisation has brought even higher focus to the importance of this area. We assist clients with understanding whether they are at risk of underpaying their employees in line with the relevant Industry Award or Enterprise Agreement, and calculate those underpayments through historical reconciliations.
Key Responsibilities:
Work across all aspects of payroll compliance projects, focused on Award & EBA employee underpayment reviews and reconciliation, including:
Address matters relating to payroll compliance, industry awards, data cleansing, and reconciliation modelling
Reconciliation tool design, build and implementation (using excel and other platforms)
Analysis of Complex Excel Workbooks for review and simplification
Maintain and monitor project plans, schedules and tasks (in alignment to frameworks)
Organise and attend stakeholder/client meeting, manage client relationships
Documenting and following up on key actions from meetings
About You
Exposure to payroll compliance / payroll remediation projects
Highly proficient in Excel (essential), Alteryx, Power BI or similar platforms
Committed to the successful delivery of projects and outcomes
Proven ability to lead client workshops and meetings, facilitating discussions, gathering requirements, and presenting solutions with confidence
Analysts who have worked on large data and employment projects outside of this space and can see themselves moving into the wage compliance space, should also consider applying
