SMSF Accounting Services in Brisbane

Managing your own super gives you greater control over your retirement savings, but it also comes with additional accounting, reporting and compliance responsibilities. At Empire Accountants, we provide ongoing SMSF accounting and administration services for trustees across Brisbane.
Our team can support you throughout the lifecycle of your fund, from initial establishment through to annual compliance and ongoing administration.

SMSF Setup

Setting up an SMSF involves more than simply establishing a new entity.
The fund needs to be structured and registered correctly from the beginning, with the appropriate documentation and systems in place.

Our team can assist with the accounting and administrative aspects of establishing your SMSF, including:

  • SMSF establishment and registration
  • Trustee and fund documentation
  • ABN and TFN applications
  • ATO registration
  • Guidance on establishing the fund's bank account
  • Assistance with rollover documentation and administration
  • Establishing accounting and record-keeping systems


Before establishing an SMSF, it is important to understand the costs, responsibilities and ongoing obligations involved. Where personal financial or investment advice is required, we recommend speaking with an appropriately licensed financial adviser.

SMSF Administration

Keeping your SMSF records accurate and up to date is an important part of managing the fund.

Our SMSF administration services help trustees manage the ongoing accounting and reporting requirements of their fund. Depending on your circumstances, we can assist with:

  • Maintaining SMSF accounting records
  • Preparing annual financial statements
  • Preparing and lodging the SMSF annual return
  • Member balance and contribution accounting
  • Pension accounting where applicable
  • Trustee and member changes
  • Asset and supporting documentation
  • ATO correspondence
  • Preparation of records for the annual independent audit

This gives you an experienced accounting team to manage the financial administration of your SMSF while keeping you informed about the information and documentation required from you as trustee.

SMSF Tax & Compliance Support

SMSF trustees have ongoing accounting, reporting and compliance responsibilities, including maintaining fund records, preparing financial statements, arranging an annual independent audit and lodging the SMSF annual return.

Empire Accountants can assist with:

  • Annual SMSF financial statements
  • SMSF annual return preparation and lodgement
  • Contribution and pension reporting
  • Capital gains and investment transaction accounting
  • ATO correspondence and reporting
  • Coordination of the annual independent SMSF audit

We help manage the accounting, tax and administration requirements of your fund, while keeping you informed about what needs to be completed and when. Trustees remain responsible for ensuring their SMSF complies with Australia's superannuation rules.

Need to Switch?

Switching Your SMSF to Empire Accountants

Already have an SMSF but looking for a new accountant or administrator?Changing SMSF providers does not mean establishing a new fund. Your existing SMSF can generally continue while the professional accounting and administration responsibilities are transferred to your new provider.

Empire Accountants can assist with the transition by communicating with your previous accountant, obtaining the required accounting and fund records, reviewing your existing SMSF information and establishing your fund within our systems.

We have put together a practical guide explaining the process in more detail: Outgrown Your Accountant? 5 Steps to Seamlessly Switch Your SMSF Provider
