Start 2026 Right: Is Your Novated Leasing Provider Making Life Harder Than It Should Be?

14 Jan 2026

As organisations look ahead to 2026, many employers are reviewing internal processes to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary administrative burden. One area often overlooked is novated leasing administration, until employers start feeling the strain.

While novated leasing remains a valuable employee benefit, the provider you choose can significantly impact how much time, effort and frustration it creates behind the scenes. Slow response times, unclear reporting, manual workarounds and poor communication can place ongoing pressure on payroll and finance teams, turning what should be a great benefit into a burden.

 

When Novated Leasing Becomes an Administrative Headache

Employers rely on their novated leasing provider to deliver accurate deductions, timely documentation, clear reporting and responsive support. When these basics aren’t delivered efficiently, internal teams are left chasing information, managing errors and absorbing extra workload, often at the expense of more strategic tasks. If this sounds familiar, it may be time to reassess whether your current provider is truly supporting your business.

 

Why Employers Choose Alliance Leasing

At Alliance Leasing we pride ourselves on making novated leasing simple, efficient and employer friendly. Our points of difference include-

  1. The Three Ring Policy – Calls are answered within three rings, providing real help from real people. No waiting on hold, no automated phone systems, just direct access to experienced staff who understand payroll and employer needs.
  2. Strong Payroll & Employer Support – Alliance Leasing understands the pressures payroll and accounts teams can face and works proactively to reduce administrative effort.
  3. Support That Goes Beyond Sign-Up – Many novated leasing providers focus heavily on onboarding and then disappear once the partnership is established. Alliance Leasing takes a different approach, prioritising ongoing support through proactive communication, timely responses and fast turnaround on reimbursements, documentation and reporting. Our team understands payroll implications and works collaboratively with employers to reduce administrative burden over the life of every lease.
  4. Built From Payroll Expertise – Alliance Leasing was established from a contractor payroll business, giving the us a deep understanding of payroll systems, processes and compliance requirements. This background means we don’t just support payroll teams, we genuinely understand the day-to-day pain points employers face and we have designed our novated leasing processes and solutions accordingly.

If your business is still grappling with slow service, ambiguous paperwork, manual workarounds, or operational bottlenecks with your current novated leasing provider, starting 2026 with a fresh review could be a game changer. Choosing the right partner not only boosts employee satisfaction with their benefits, it reduces administrative load, saves time, and increases efficiency across your payroll and accounts teams.
