What Is a Self-Managed Super Fund and Is It Right for You?
A self-managed super fund (SMSF) is a private superannuation fund that you control. Unlike retail or industry super funds, where a fund manager makes decisions on your behalf, an SMSF puts you in charge, giving you direct control over your investment strategy, asset selection, and retirement planning decisions.
SMSFs can hold a broad range of assets, including Australian and international shares, property, term deposits, managed funds, cryptocurrency, collectibles, and even business real property. For the right trustee, this level of control and flexibility is a powerful way to build and protect retirement wealth.
However, with control comes responsibility. SMSF trustees are personally liable for ensuring the fund complies with superannuation legislation, lodges its annual return correctly, undergoes an independent audit every year, and operates solely for the purpose of providing retirement benefits. The ATO takes SMSF compliance seriously, and the penalties for non-compliance are significant.
That is where a specialist SMSF accountant makes all the difference. We handle the administration, reporting, tax, and audit coordination so you can focus on the investment decisions that matter, knowing the compliance is in expert hands
Our Self Managed Super Fund Services in Adelaide
We look after every obligation your fund has, from establishment through to pension phase and, when the time comes, wind-up.
SMSF Setup & Registration
Trust deed, corporate trustee, ATO registration, ABN, TFN, bank account and investment strategy, done in the right order. See SMSF setup in Adelaide for the full process.
Annual SMSF Administration & Compliance
We handle your complete annual SMSF administration cycle, preparing financial statements, lodging your annual return, maintaining trustee minutes, and meeting every compliance obligation so your fund stays in good standing with the ATO year after year.
SMSF Tax Returns & Financial Reporting
Our SMSF tax accountants prepare your annual return with precision, covering member contributions, investment income, capital gains, and pension payments, while applying every legitimate concession to accurately reflect your fund's performance and position.
Independent SMSF Audit
Every SMSF must be audited each year by an approved SMSF auditor before its return is lodged. We prepare the audit file, answer the auditor's questions and fix issues before lodgement, so the audit is not held up.
Pension Commencements, Withdrawals & Rollovers
We manage pension commencements, account-based pensions, minimum drawdown requirements, and lump sum withdrawals correctly, ensuring the right tax treatment is applied to every transaction, and your fund's pension documentation meets ATO requirements.
SMSF Tax Planning & Estate Planning
We advise on contribution strategies, transition to retirement income streams, LRBA property investment, and binding death benefit nominations to ensure your SMSF is managed with a proactive tax strategy and your super passes to the right beneficiaries.
SMSF Rules Trustees Need to Know for 2026-27
| Rule | 2026-27 |
|---|---|
| Concessional contributions cap | $32,500 per member |
| Non-concessional contributions cap | $130,000 per member |
| Tax on fund earnings (accumulation) | 15% |
| Tax on earnings supporting retirement pensions | 0% |
| ATO supervisory levy | $259 a year (new funds pay 2 years in their first return) |
| Maximum members | 6 |
| Annual independent audit | Required every year before lodgement |
Division 296 tax
From 1 July 2026, the new Division 296 tax adds an extra tax on realised earnings for members whose total super balance is over $3 million, with a higher rate over $10 million. If your balance is near those levels, we model the effect before 30 June each year.
Payday Super
Payday Super also started on 1 July 2026. Employers now pay super within 7 business days of each payday, so an SMSF with working members receives contributions more often. We check each contribution against the caps as it arrives, not just at year end.
How Our SMSF Administration Works

Consultation
We review your fund, its assets and last year's reports, and confirm your fixed fee.

We prepare the accounts, minutes and member statements, then coordinate the independent audit.
04
Lodgement & Review
We lodge the annual return and meet with you to plan contributions, pensions and tax for the next year.
