What do I need to get set up with Reckon One?
Do I need payroll software?
Managing payroll is a key responsibility for any business. The right payroll software saves time, reduces stress, and keeps your business compliant. Under STP legislation, you’re legally required to use compliant payroll software to report to the ATO.
Manual payroll can lead to costly errors and compliance issues. With payroll software, you can automate pay runs, calculate PAYG and super, manage leave entitlements, and send payslips, all in one place. Even small businesses benefit from features like real-time STP reporting, mobile on-the-go access, and secure employee records
Is my data secure?
Can I change my payroll plan later on?
Definitely! Reckon One offers you the flexibility to change your plan to fit the unique needs of your business. Whether it’s downgrading or upgrading, you can easily make these changes right from your Reckon account.
Do you provide customer support?
Expert training is also available through the Reckon Training Academy or our trusted partners (accountants and bookkeepers).
Can I grant access to other people?
Is there a minimum subscription period?
No lock-ins. Enjoy flexible, month-to-month access to our basic accounting software for small business.
