Whilst staring a SMSF is very administratively heavy (you have to sign about 20 different documents) SuperConcepts has made the process easy. Once you are set up, you are assigned a manager (mine is Dennis and he is great!) and you have a single point of contact for anything you may need. The dashboard interface is easy to use. I highly recommend… Read more

SuperConcepts. They took a lot of uncertainty and admin out of the way so I can focus on investments. Thank you!

What a fantastic Self Managed Superannuation Fund service that SuperConcepts provides for those who have a SMSF - very easy to deal with and super prompt with queries and follow ups for a great monthly administration fee amount. I have been with SuperConcepts for approximately 10 years.

 Follow-up  · The monthly administration, reconcilliation and tracking of contributions is fantastic, along with the annual tax return which is very promptly done, fund audited, and submitted, and make the task of having a self managed superannuation fund very easy.

I have been a client of Super Concepts for 30 years. I find their annual fund administration service efficient and reasonably priced. As a Trustee I can rely on Super Concepts to provide on-going education and guidance to ensure my fund remains compliant while maximising benefits to members.

 Follow-up  · Suparannuation fund trustees need to keep on top of the latest changes in relevant legislation and rules as they may affect their members' individual circumstances. Super Concepts run regular on line training seminars on a variety of topics to help trustees make the decisions needed to keep funds compliant and best meeting members' needs.

Dissappointing, charging exit fees is anti competitive – I had super concepts establish my SMSF many years ago and only ever paid them for the services of preparing my tax returns and doing the audits. I looked after all the administration of our SMSF myself. The whole point of having a SMSF is to be able to reduce costs. Then a couple of years ago they put up my fees by more than $1,000 pa (without… Read more

offering me any additional services that I required or used) and apparently (my bad for not reading the fine print of an email) they implemented an exit fee. This year I have arranged to have another tax agent complete my SMSF tax return at a much more appropriate fee and then to find out that I'm supposed to give them 2 months notice or pay and exit fee of 2 months. They have not provided me any services for this fee as I have completed the transfer myself, don't need any documentation from them and have updated ATO of the move myself which I was advised is why they charge an exit fee....still they would not waive this fee....they tell me that I still have to pay the fee as there is a cost to remove me from their systems - well nice to know that I am paying for your own internal processes and that you have provided me with no services at all for this fee. Superconcepts started out as a really great company but over the years has deteriorated and the service has declined - there have been times I've had to get them to fix errors in my tax returns, Accountants did not seem to understand the investments I was in and they would get my asset allocation wrong as they used incorrect asset classes. I'm very glad to be moving on and disappointed in the exit fee....banks and many other financial instituitions and utilities services are not allowed to charge exit fees - this should be brought in across the board as it impedes competition - I wouldn't be leaving if you were providing what I needed. Signed a very dissappointed ex client.

10+ years of continuous use - the ideal benchmark for an excellent service – We have used SuperConcepts for more than 10 years. Over the years, ownership of the service has changed from ANZ to AMP and more recently (2023) to private ownership. Whilst the service has always been good, I have noticed definite improvements during FY 2023-24, with the audit and lodgement of the tax return completed in record time. Refunds in… Read more

my pocket rather in an ATO pocket is infinitely preferable.

The service is totally digital. Digital documents can be readily loaded on the service dashboard with some financial data being automatically updated. The range of EOFY financial reports is impressive and generally understandable, within the confines of the black art of accountancy.

Each SMSF is allocated a personal client manager and whilst I have had several over the years, they have always been responsive, following up with the accountants and tax agents when questions necessitate. Over the years I have done my best to break their spirit with many curly questions but they have always responded with patience and care. Unlike many organisations that answer questions with standard, pre-prepared answers that often don’t actually answer the question, the responses from SuperConcepts have always been clear and correctly targeted to the information required.

I can’t really comment on the service fee as I have never felt the need to seek an alternative service, but I think it is probably par for the SMSF administrative course.

10 years of continuous use under a number of owners would seem to speak for itself. Would I recommend the service to a friend - definitely!

A sad goodbye to Super Concepts and especially to our Advisor MD Kader after more than a decade of excellent service – M D (M D Kader) has been the administrator of our SMSF (Nelmes Barnes SMSF) over the last several years. We have now wound up the SMSF which is absolutely no reflection on MD or Super Concepts more a realisation of our advancing years. We have transferred to a retail super fund who hopefully will be as helpful as MD was in his role as… Read more

Administrator. He is good communicator and responded promptly to any requests or questions. We were very happy with his performance and can confidently recommend him to be a diligent administrator.

The wind up of the SMSF was complex, involving many tasks such as co-ordination of Audits, Bank Transfers, numerous documents to sign. This required a lot of patience and attention to detail from our fund administrator. I am pleased to confirm that MD ably assisted us to complete this arduous and time consuming task.

MD Kader and Super Concepts were our funds administrators but not involved in providing financial advice regarding investment strategy.

My SMSF has been managed by Super Concepts for over a decade. The switch to them has been life- changing - all the administration and reporting is taken care of. The reporting and information from the dashboard on their website is comprehensive. And the customer service agent assigned to me is most helpful and efficient. I highly recommend Super Concepts. Show details

A terrible company to deal with – Overpriced - nearly $4,000 to audit 8 transactions for the tax year (!) then close my fund. And very difficult to deal with. I had to file a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority before they backed down and I won. Went to Super Accounting in Cairns and had great service with very reasonable pricing - could not recommend them highly enough.

Worst SMSF – My wife and I have had a SMSF with superconcepts for a few years. We were getting hit with more fees than originally told at the start. Have now got a new super account and been trying to get our super out of superconcepts for the last 2 years. This has been the worst experience with our superfund and a pour service to no service provided from… Read more

I have been a client of SuperConcepts for many years. I have been so happy with the service received it makes running my SMSF easy and enjoyable. Their people are easy to contact and always find solutions to queries. They run useful seminars, charge very reasonable fees and meet every admin need so I can be sure of compliance. I give them 5 stars!

I have had my personal Self-managed Super Fund with Super Concepts for just on 20 years. In that time, I have found their service has been carried out to my satisfaction. All tasks requested have been carried out in a timely manner. Their dashboard and document uploading has been easy to follow. Overall, have been satisfied with the service provided.
