From fixing errors to feeling in control
When upstream processes fail, you're left fixing what shouldn't be yours to fix. There's a better way.
Payroll shouldn't feel like firefighting. When upstream processes fail, you're left checking, re-checking, and fixing issues that shouldn't be yours to solve. You deserve a system that puts you back in control.
Who This Is For
This is for payroll managers who are tired of being reactive. Who know their expertise is worth more than manual checking. Who want to finally feel in control of pay day – not held hostage by it.
If you've ever thought "there has to be a better way," there is.
You're not the problem.
Your systems are.
The challenge
- • Errors slip through from upstream systems
- • Compliance risks keep you up at night
- • Every pay cycle feels like putting out fires
The impact
- • You're exhausted from double-checking everything
- • You feel reactive instead of strategic
- • You're drowning in work you have to do, with no time for work you should do
A better way
You became a payroll professional to ensure people are paid correctly and on time – not to be a full-time detective fixing other people's mistakes.

We know you've heard this before
You've sat through demos that promised the world. You've implemented systems that created more work, not less. We get it. And we're not going to pretend switching systems is painless. Here's the truth:
"My setup is too complex."
Complex awards, EBAs, multiple pay cycles, legacy integrations – we've seen it. Affinity was built for ANZ complexity, not adapted for it. We don't ask you to simplify your business to fit our software.
"I don't have time to implement something new."
Neither did the payroll managers who are now finishing pay runs a day early. Implementation is designed around your schedule, not ours. We do the heavy lifting while you keep running payroll.
"What if it makes things worse before it gets better?"
That's why we prove value in two cycles, not two years. You'll see the reduction in checking effort before you're fully committed. If it's not working, we'll know – and so will you.
"I'll lose control."
You choose the model. Run it yourself with expert backup. Hand over the pieces you don't want. Adjust as you go. Control stays with you.
We're not here to sell you software and disappear. We're here to make payroll work the way it should – and we're accountable until it does.
Imagine payroll that just works
Picture this: It's the day before pay run. You glance at your screen and see green across the board – two flagged items, both explained, both fixable in ten minutes. No spreadsheets. No panic. No detective work.
You finish early. Your team finishes early. And you're spending tomorrow on the workforce analytics project that's been on your list for months.
That's not a dream. That's Affinity.
