Your Preceda payroll is ending. Your business doesn't have to suffer.
Migrate to enterprise-grade AU/NZ payroll without disruption, data loss, or compliance risk.
Affinity is the proven alternative for Preceda customers who need Australian and New Zealand payroll expertise delivered in a straightforward, modern platform.
The cost of getting this wrong
A rushed or poorly planned migration creates risks that can take years to fix.
Compliance exposure
Moving to a platform that doesn't handle Australian Modern Awards or New Zealand Holidays Act correctly means ongoing compliance risk and potential underpayment claims.
Service disruption
Missed pay runs, incorrect pays, and integration failures damage employee trust and consume management attention when you can least afford it.
Hidden costs
"Lower cost" platforms often require expensive customisations, consultants, and ongoing support to handle the AU/NZ payroll requirements that Preceda managed out of the box.
