Looking to Switch Your SMSF Accountant?

If you’re considering moving your existing Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) to a new accountant, we invite you to book a complimentary 15 minute consultation to explore how our SMSF accounting services can benefit you.

What is a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF)?

A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is a private superannuation fund where members take on the role of both trustees and managers. Unlike industry or retail super funds managed by professionals, SMSFs provide greater investment control and flexibility.

This option is ideal for those who have the time, expertise, and financial acumen to manage their super effectively. However, due diligence is essential—before setting up or transferring an SMSF, seeking professional advice ensures that it aligns with your long-term financial goals.

Why Choose an SMSF?

SMSFs offer several benefits, including:

  • Greater Investment Control – Make strategic decisions tailored to your retirement goals.
  • Tax Planning Opportunities – Optimise your superannuation tax benefits.
  • Estate Planning Advantages – Streamline wealth transfer to beneficiaries.
  • Asset Protection & Investment Flexibility – Invest in assets such as direct property and shares.

Key Challenges of Managing an SMSF

While SMSFs offer numerous benefits, they come with significant responsibilities, such as:

  • Regulatory Compliance – Trustees must adhere to strict ATO regulations.
  • Administrative Complexity – SMSFs require meticulous record-keeping and annual reporting.
  • Ongoing Costs & Time Commitment – Managing an SMSF requires dedicated effort and financial understanding.

Given these complexities, partnering with an experienced SMSF accountant can help you navigate regulatory requirements and avoid compliance pitfalls.

Q: Can I transfer my existing SMSF to Lemonade Beach?

Yes! If you already have an SMSF and are looking for expert accounting services, we can assist in transitioning your fund smoothly. Book a consultation today to discuss the process.

Q: Does Lemonade Beach help with setting up an SMSF?

No, we do not establish new SMSFs or provide advice on whether an SMSF is right for you. Since SMSF setup is a financial product, you must consult a licensed financial planner before proceeding.

Q: What are my responsibilities as an SMSF trustee?

As an SMSF trustee, you are responsible for:

  • Ensuring compliance with ATO regulations
  • Managing investments in line with your fund’s trust deed and investment strategy
  • Maintaining accurate records for auditing and tax reporting
  • Lodging annual financial reports and returns

    Q: How much does it cost to run an SMSF?

    Costs vary depending on fund size, investment strategy, and compliance needs. Ongoing expenses may include accounting fees, audit fees, investment costs, and ATO levies.

    Q: How does SMSF compliance auditing work?

    All SMSFs must be independently audited annually. At Lemonade Beach, we ensure your financial records are in order and provide necessary documentation to our external auditors.  If you have an existing auditor for your fund, we can explore working with them if you wish.  Audit fees are separate to our accounting fee and remain the responsibility of fund trustees.

      Q: Can I invest in property through my SMSF?

      Yes, SMSFs can invest in residential and commercial properties under strict rules. It’s crucial to ensure compliance with superannuation and borrowing laws before making an investment. It’s also advised to gain personalised advice from your financial planner to understand whether this is a recommended strategy for your situation.
