Superannuation

Self-managed Superannuation Funds

Setting yourself up in super can be a complicated and sometimes daunting task.  Walsh Accounting can provide information on the pros and cons of all superannuation options, with no obligation to proceed if you find self-managed super is 'not for you'. 

There are several trust laws and legislative requirements for setting up a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF). Typically you need to:

• Obtain a trust deed
• Appoint trustees or establish a company as a corporate trustee (if preferred)
• Sign a trustee declaration (NAT 71089)
• Elect to become a regulated fund
• Obtain a tax file number (TFN)
• Obtain an Australian business number (ABN)

At Walsh Accounting we provide the professional advice you need to set up your own fund and greatly simplify the process for you.

Once you are up and running, we make superannuation easy.  We will take care of your fund administration, prepare financial statements, annual tax returns, arrange audit and manage your compliance requirements.
