Superannuation is one of the most important considerations in retirement planning. It enjoys significant tax concessions, and is a vehicle to create wealth for retirement and the next generation. A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) can be integral to this, and we can help you manage your fund with our SMSF Compliance & Administration services.
How we help
The compliance and auditing aspects of maintaining an SMSF are increasingly complex. Extensive professional knowledge is required to ensure that your SMSF complies with the relevant legislation, including the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and the latest auditing/accounting standards.
Our specialist team has many years of practical experience and can administer your SMSF and ensure it complies with legislation.
Who we help
These are some of the groups we help:
- Professionals with surplus disposable income
- People in the pre-retirement stage (50+)
- Self-funded retirees
- Business owners
Our approach
To start with, we will review your current financial position to advise you on the suitability of an SMSF for your situation. We will provide extensive information and explanations of the pros and cons of an SMSF.
Once we have concluded that an SMSF is a good fit to your current and future situation, we will assist you in establishing the SMSF and the transferring of your current superannuation to the newly established SMSF.
We ensure your fund complies with the relevant ATO regulations and audit requirements, and work with you to ensure ongoing compliance. We endeavour to comply with all the relevant ATO lodgement deadlines, and remain available to answer your questions every step of the way.
To help you evaluate your fund’s investment results, we provide ongoing investment reports and we can also collaborate with your financial advisor to ensure they have the information they need.

Many types of investments are possible. Acquiring a property through the SMSF may be useful for certain long-term objectives, as well as for business use.
