Lucent Advisory

Lucent Advisory provides Payroll Processing and Outsourcing across Australia, as part of one integrated back-office team that also covers bookkeeping, tax, HR and advisory.

• End-to-end payroll management covers pay runs, superannuation, awards, entitlements and compliance, reducing key-person dependency inside the client business.
• Payroll processing integrates with Lucent’s outsourced HR administration, which is delivered through Employment Hero and includes employee self-service portals for payslips and leave balances.
• Lucent is an inaugural Employment Hero implementation partner and offers a Payroll System Health Check to review payroll settings, employment arrangements and internal processes for businesses already on the platform.
• The entire team of over 40 professionals is based in Australia, and clients can start with payroll alone and add or scale back other service lines as their needs change.

Best for: Growing Australian SMEs, not-for-profits and health practices that want payroll run by the same team that handles their bookkeeping, tax or HR administration.

Lucent Advisory provides HR Outsourcing and Managed Services across Australia, powered by Employment Hero and delivered by its HR specialists.

• HR administration covers onboarding and offboarding with digital contracts, leave and entitlements, performance reviews, policy updates, compliance audits and workforce reporting.
• HR consulting extends to workforce management, policy development, culture, performance frameworks and change management.
• Employment Hero setup, optimisation and training are included, and the Lucent team migrates data and trains staff during transition.

Best for: Small to medium enterprises without a dedicated HR function that want a managed HR system and on-demand HR advice.
