How The Bean Counters Simplified HR for Their Clients with Employment Hero

I'm Tyler Kasky, one of the partners at The Bean Counters. I've been a Employment Hero partner for over five years now. I wanted to become an Employment Hero partner. It was around two thousand and twenty one.

I'd previously been a CFO or a partner in practice using Employment Hero and installed Employment Hero HR and Payroll into those businesses. And I just knew how good it could make our clients and how beneficial it could be to our clients, especially the ones that are on smaller payroll systems with paper forms to get them onboarded. And so for me, when our client base started to get bigger and bigger, we really wanted to partner with Employment Hero to help with the sales process. Because if it's just me telling the story, here's my experience, without like a someone else from the Employment Hero team, it just wasn't as convincing.

So I really like the power of two, and it's like it's the power of a team. So when two people are saying the same thing but maybe in different ways, it gives the client comfort that they're making the right decision. I like that it makes HR and payroll simple. It takes away the burden to the payroll team, to the finance team, to the HR team, and the employee of moving through a bunch of paperwork that doesn't need to be paperwork anymore.

The other favorite part for me, and this doesn't happen in other HR and payroll systems, is it gives me the minimum effective dose to make sure that when that person comes into payroll, that I've got all their data that's needed. You know, their name, address, tax file, super, bank account details, and I'm not missing any bits of data. So for me, my favorite is that as soon as someone's finished their onboarding, I know that they're in the system ready to go. The other part I really like is the additional benefits and the additional functions of the HR platform, especially, like, performance reviews, asset tracking, and onboarding tasks.

Those are things that take a long time to set up in other other systems. And Employment they're there. Like, we're talking minutes to set up the performance review for a hundred staff. You're talking minutes to set up asset tracking, and they can really streamline the onboarding process, for these HR teams.

Employment Hero has a really good fit for a lot of industries. Professional services is an easy no brainer. It's you've got high expectation employees. You've got people that they want fast on onboarding, you've got HR teams that are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You want an efficient process. So immediately people that are computer based is is just a no brainer. Hospitality goes really well as well as Hospo always has issues with awards, treatments, overtimes, even like when people's age change, you know, making sure that people move through those award structures in a really good way. Employment area just does that natively rather than in some of the smaller systems where you've got to manually go and change.

The other one I I find really interesting is multi entity. In large organizations, it's very, very common for them to have four or five different entities. We work with an investment business that has five entities and one Employment Hero, That means they've got a single source of truth for onboarding, for policies, for contract templates, and they've really got a simple structure.

If I had to do that ten years ago, I would probably be working in five different instances. I would have copies of documents that I'd be updating and maintaining. So these large groups, you know, we're talking well over a thousand employees, are just so streamlined and so efficient in Employment Hero compared to what I used to be able to do. What I love with not for profits is we can automate their onboarding process, which they've never really had before.

We can help automate their payroll systems and do custom rules and custom sets that create the right payroll outcome for them, gives them confidence in the payroll numbers. It gives their HR team, it gives their finance team a bit more confidence. And I think you keep people more engaged, you don't have as many issues because you're not paying people the wrong amount. And also, it's just a better experience for, like, the internal team and the staff.

And for me, like, those businesses, they can be fifty people, but we're also looking at well over five hundred to a thousand large not for profits. It's just a it's a game changer for that type of business. For accounting teams, Employment Hero is such a win. The amount of payroll journals I've had to do in my life, be it Xero or NetSuite or MyOB, like, we're into the thousands, maybe the tens of thousands.

And the thing I love about Employment Hero is it's so easy to integrate. You can connect your Xero file within literally a minute, set up your chart of accounts in two minutes, and then do a test journal or test bill even better within about five minutes. For Xero entities, Employment Hero is a no brainer as soon as you start to grow and get more people. You know, we're not just talking NetSuite Zero.

Like, if I look on the, integration pathway, you've got Microsoft Business Central, MyOb, Brecken. So if you're if you're an accountant and doing manual payroll journals, Employment Hero solves that. Employment Hero.
