Services · For accounting and financial planning firms
SMSF accounting packages and fees
Pick the package that matches how your firm already runs its funds. Every price is per fund and before GST, and the fee stays the same whatever the fund holds.
Is this for you?
- You're an accounting or financial planning firm
- Your funds are in BGL Simple Fund desktop, BGL360, Class Super or Supermate
- You want a fixed fee per fund, agreed before we start
Packages
Three packages, each with a "you lodge" or "we lodge" choice
The packages differ in when we do the work: once the year has closed, in one pass for the whole year, or as transactions happen.
| Package | What it covers | Price, before GST |
|---|---|---|
| Year-end work, you lodge | The year's accounts, the draft annual return and referenced workpapers. You lodge the return. | $450 per fund |
| Year-end work, we lodge | As above, and we lodge the return for you. | $600 per fund |
| Annual administration, you lodge | The fund's administration for the whole year, done in one pass in the software you choose. You lodge the return. | Quoted on your volume |
| Annual administration, we lodge | As above, and we lodge the return. | Quoted on your volume |
| Daily administration, you lodge | Transactions reconciled through the year, so you can follow each fund's investments, pension payments and contributions as they happen. You lodge the return. | Quoted on your volume |
| Daily administration, we lodge | As above, and we lodge the return. | Quoted on your volume |
Year-end work
For funds you look after once a year. You send the year's records after 30 June; we prepare the accounts and return in your software and send the file back.
Annual administration
For firms that want the whole year's administration taken off their desk in one go, in the software they choose.
Daily administration
For funds you want to watch through the year: investment portfolios, pension payments and contribution limits. Because the transactions are already up to date, year-end has little left to do.
We work only for accounting and financial planning firms, never for trustees directly.
What comes back
What comes back for each fund
- A complete set of final reports: financial statements and member statements
- The SMSF annual return, in draft: ready for the trustees to sign
- Fully referenced workpapers: each balance traced to its source document
- An updated software backup: for funds kept in BGL Simple Fund desktop
Most funds come back within a week of us receiving complete records. A missing statement is the usual reason a fund takes longer, so we tell you straight away what we still need.
Software
Software we work in
Your funds stay in the software you already use. Using something else? Ask us.
Lodging
Lodging the return
Choose the "you lodge" or "we lodge" form of a package.
- You lodge: the draft return comes back to you, and you lodge it yourself.
- We lodge, under your tax agent number: if you are a registered tax agent without lodgement software.
- We lodge, under ours: if you are not a registered tax agent, we lodge under our tax agent number, 24702003 (check it on the TPB register).
Fees
Fees, before GST
One fixed fee per fund, whatever the fund's size. We confirm it in writing before we start.
Year-end work
$450per fund, you lodge
$600per fund, we lodge
Before GST. The same fee for every fund, whatever it holds.
Other fees, only when they apply
All fees are before GST.
SMSF audits are not included. They are done by a separate firm (smsfaudits.com, another site), which never audits a fund we prepared, or by the auditor your firm already uses.
Questions
Questions firms ask about our packages
What does year-end work cost?
$450 per fund if you lodge the return, or $600 per fund if we lodge it. Both are before GST.
Does a bigger fund cost more?
No. The fee is the same for every fund in the package, whatever it holds.
Are there any other charges?
Only two, and only when they apply: $150 once to set up a fund that isn't yet in the accounting software, and $125 for an actuarial certificate. Both are before GST.
How soon do funds come back?
Most funds come back within a week of us receiving complete records.
Will you contact our clients?
No. Questions about a fund come to you, and the finished work comes back to you to sign under your firm's name.
Can you lodge the return for us?
Yes. Choose a "we lodge" package. We lodge under your tax agent number if you don't have lodgement software, or under ours, 24702003, if you are not a registered tax agent.
Who audits the funds you prepare?
Your firm's chosen SMSF auditor. The separate audit firm at smsfaudits.com never audits a fund we prepared.
Can a trustee send us their fund directly?
No. We work only for accounting and financial planning firms. A trustee can ask their accountant or financial planner to send the fund to us.
