SMSF service providers SuperConcepts and leading financial services provider BDO Australia are proud to announce a new collaboration that will benefit trustees, practitioners and clients of both organisations.
The organisations each have long-standing SMSF industry participants and have worked together to provide positive client outcomes for over 15 years.
Under the new collaboration SuperConcepts’ administration software SuperMate will continue be used by BDO Australia nationally while BDO Australia will also join SuperConcepts’ panel of auditors allowing SuperConcepts clients access to high-quality audits backed by the industry experts at BDO who understand the SMSF industry.
SuperConcepts has consistently worked with BDO to improve the software and user experience for BDO clients. This announcement is an extension of that commitment by adding an audit offering to SuperConcepts clients.
