SMSF Accountants Newcastle

What is a Self-Managed Super Fund?

The difference between a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and other types of superannuation funds is that the members of an SMSF are usually also the trustees. This means the members of the SMSF (you) run it for their own benefit (yours!) and are responsible for complying with the super and tax laws (that’s where we help).

This is a complex, regularly changing area requiring a lot of expertise. We would love to help you understand how to get the best out of your self-managed super fund.

Benefits of Self-Managed Super Funds

Having the right accountant means that all boxes will be ticked in terms of the management and compliance of your SMSF fund.

Some of the other benefits you will enjoy by switching to an SMSF include:

  • Greater flexibility with tax requirements, including capital gains, franking credits and taxable income
  • Lower fees the higher your balance gets
  • More flexibility with death benefits (that public funds do not provide)
  • Protection of assets from risks, including bankruptcy

Make your super hassle-free; create a beautiful financial future.

Why Hire An SMSF Accountant?

There are many layers to a self managed super fund, including your investment strategies, compliance with the ATO, record keeping, auditing and more. It is no easy task for any busy individual, no matter how strong their knowledge of superannuation and the ATO may be.

With an SMSF accountant at your side, you will have a specialised personal guide that can manage all aspects of your SMSF and help you achieve your personal goals whilst remaining totally compliant. They will help you diversify into multiple investment opportunities, including property investment into residential and commercial property, term deposits and more.

There will be no fear of auditing either, as your expert personal SMSF accountant will ensure that your fund accounts are prepared correctly, including the valuation of assets, so that your account and annual tax return is not only compliant but prepared to deliver the best possible results.

Invest in Suitable Property

Did you know you can purchase property with your super fund? With an SMSF you can own residential or commercial property, which can be a wise investment. Not only that, recent changes in legislation now allow your super fund to borrow money for real estate investment, whether that’s in Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, Sydney or further afield. There are significant legal requirements for borrowing within a super fund, so talk to us about how to do this.

IMPLEMENT YOUR WEALTH GROWTH STRATEGY
