SMSF Engine are SMSF accountants and tax specialists, providing expert administration services tailored for accountants and financial advisers.
We help you manage your clients’ SMSFs efficiently, so you can focus on providing high-value advice and growing your practice.
We support accountants and financial advisers by managing the back-office compliance and administration requirements for their clients’ SMSFs.
By outsourcing administrative and compliance tasks to SMSF Engine, you can focus on delivering strategic, value-added services while maintaining full control of your client relationships.
We operate as an extension of your practice, providing consistent, high-quality SMSF support behind the scenes.
According to the latest ATO statistics, there are more than 619,000 self-managed superannuation funds in Australia, with over 1.1 million members and assets approaching $960 billion. On average, each member has more than $835,000 in assets. The median is $497,608.
Managing multiple SMSFs is complex and time-consuming for accountants and financial advisers. Each fund requires ongoing compliance, accurate reporting, and the ability to adapt to evolving regulations under the SIS Act, ATO, and ASIC guidelines.
To deliver the high-value strategic advice your clients expect, you need time and focus, not distractions from day-to-day administration and taxation tasks.
Yet maintaining compliance and avoiding costly mistakes is critical to protecting both your clients and your reputation.
That’s where SMSF Engine can help.
We work exclusively with accountants, advisers, and boutique firms, providing expert SMSF administration support so you can stay focused on growing your practice and delivering exceptional service.
Whether you operate independently or as part of a small team, SMSF Engine acts as your back-office partner, ensuring your clients’ SMSFs are administered accurately, efficiently, and in full compliance with Australian regulations.
Managing a self-managed super fund demands specialist skills. Setting up a fund, staying compliant, and avoiding penalties requires detailed knowledge of superannuation law.
If you offer SMSF services to your clients, it’s critical to have the right support. Tracking member balances, managing contribution caps, and maintaining compliance are complex tasks. Mistakes can be costly for both your practice and your clients.
We are proud members of the National Tax and Accountants’ Association (NTAA) and the recommended SMSF administrator for NTAA members.
Choosing the right SMSF service partner can make a real difference to your practice’s success. Independence means you stay in control of your client relationships. SMSF Engine provides the support you need to grow your SMSF services with confidence.
At SMSF Engine, we work alongside accountants, advisers, and small firms to deliver reliable SMSF administration that supports both compliance and business growth.
Our experienced Australian-based team helps streamline your SMSF processes, so you can expand your services confidently and strengthen client loyalty.
Accountants providing SMSF services must comply with professional standards legislation and meet regulatory requirements set by ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission).
ASIC classifies the services that accountants can offer to SMSFs into three categories.
Traditional accounting services are not regulated as financial services.
They include:
Accountants can offer these services annually or on an ongoing basis, depending on their clients’ needs.
Ongoing services allow trustees and advisers to access up-to-date fund information and investment revaluations at any time during the year.
Providing financial product advice for SMSFs requires an Australian Financial Services licence – AFS licence.
Accountants who wish to advise clients on investment strategies, specific asset classes, or borrowing arrangements (such as SMSF property investment under RG 203) must either:
Accountants without the appropriate licensing can continue to provide traditional accounting and administrative services but must not influence client decisions about financial products.
Accountants do not require an AFS licence if they provide services that are incidental to another type of service they provide.
SMSF Engine provides traditional accounting services and exempt SMSF financial services to SMSF accountants and financial advisers.
These SMSF accountants and financial advisers can then focus on providing financial product advice to their managed super funds.
We offer comprehensive administration and advanced technical services for superannuation funds.
We provide a comprehensive accounting, taxation and administration service to meet all SMSF compliance and Government regulatory requirements.
