HR Path Acquires Payroll Experts Australia to Strengthen Presence in the Region
HR Path, a global leader in HR consulting and HCM solutions, has acquired Payroll Experts Australia (PEA), an independent payroll compliance firm based in Brisbane. PEA specializes in payroll regularization, time and activity management, and HR system implementation across Australia and New Zealand. The acquisition enhances HR Path's ability to offer end-to-end HR transformation services locally. Founded in 2009, Payroll Experts has completed over 530 projects for more than 260 organizations. It will continue operating under its existing brand as a subsidiary of HR Path and retain current leadership and staff. This move aligns with HR Path's strategy to expand in the region following previous acquisitions like DDG (2019), RKM Consulting (2025), and an office opening in 2024. François Boulet, co-founder of HR Path, emphasized that this acquisition supports their ambition to become a global leader in HR transformation. Steve Keenaghan, CEO of Payroll Experts Australia, expressed enthusiasm for the new opportunities provided by joining forces with HR Path.
