As the business owner, there are payroll rules, compliance obligations, financial systems,
and business decisions that can make or break the success of your business.

What some of our clients say

"I’ve met with Di a few times now, and she’s always been so warm and welcoming. From the very first meeting, we felt comfortable talking openly about our business, which isn’t always easy to do. We needed a bit of guidance with Xero and understanding the reports, and Di explains everything in such a simple, easy-to- understand way. We also worked together on setting up a tracking plan, figuring out what to track and how to make it meaningful moving forward and again, she made it clear and straightforward. Every session with her has been easy and enjoyable, and time just flies! I’d definitely recommend Di 100% and will keep going back whenever we want to learn more about bookkeeping or Xero..".

"We've used The Ontrack Group for so long that I struggle to remember what payroll was like before.  Payroll is one of those functions that looks simple until it isn't. Employment agreements, leave entitlements, legislative changes, odd situations, there's plenty of scope to get yourself into trouble.  The Ontrack Group takes that headache away. The team knows payroll inside out, gives practical advice, and helps us navigate the grey areas with confidence.  The biggest benefit for us has been peace of mind. Payroll is done properly, our people are paid correctly, and when something unusual comes up there's always a knowledgeable answer at the end of the phone.  I've recommended The Ontrack Group to other businesses before and will continue to do so. If you're considering working with them, I'd suggest having the conversation. You'll quickly realise why we've stayed with them for what seems like forever!'

"I engaged Ontrack Payroll HQ to support a large-scale payroll audit involving a significant volume of data. I required assistance navigating the software, extracting accurate reports, and compiling the necessary information. Di and Danie went above and beyond—working efficiently and meeting every deadline. Their extensive knowledge of payroll processes and legislative requirements was invaluable throughout the project. I highly recommend them for any payroll support or training needs."

 "This NZ Payroll Essentials Training course has given me heaps more confidence understanding the rules and regulations of payroll. Di is a great tutor and we had lots of time to really dig down on topics we weren't sure about. I'd highly recommend it if you run a payroll and haven't had formal training - I guarantee you'll learn heaps.

"I have a lot more clarity and ease to make decisions confidently.  Understanding the numbers and looking at them year on year has really helped me with a clear picture and bought clarity in understanding where changes are needed and the support to make those changes.  You have provided reassurance I am heading in the right direction and I understand the details and the impact my decisions have on the numbers. I love how how quick it was to develop the connection with Di and how easy it is to talk to her."

"Ontrack have always been only to happy to help, never further than a phone call away or an onsite appointment, and their expertise has been received with open arms. They have continued to help us grow and be sustainable, from one entity set up and our growth to our current five entities. Thanks Di & Team."
