Self-Managed Superannuation Fund

Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) provide members with greater involvement in the management of their superannuation, but they also involve significant responsibilities and compliance obligations.

SMSF trustees are responsible for ensuring their fund complies with superannuation and taxation laws, including maintaining appropriate records, preparing financial statements, arranging an annual independent audit and lodging the SMSF annual return.

Stapleton Tax & Accounting Solutions can assist SMSF trustees with the accounting, taxation and compliance requirements of their fund.

Our SMSF services include:

As an SMSF trustee, you remain responsible for the operation of your fund and ensuring that it complies with the relevant superannuation laws, even where professional advisers assist with administration and compliance.

Stapleton Tax & Accounting Solutions does not provide financial product advice. Where financial product or investment advice is required, you should seek advice from an appropriately licensed financial adviser. ASIC states that financial product advice, including certain advice concerning SMSFs and investments, requires appropriate AFS licensing or authorisation.
