Excellence

Excellence is our benchmark for quality of service in each engagement we undertake. At Peak Super Audits, we collaborate with industry leaders to combine specialist skills with experience in the SMSF audit sphere.

THE SMSF AUDIT SPECIALISTS

Our Commitment

  • Timely Service

    We provide prompt turn around (usually within 10 days of receiving the SMSF’s signed file).

  • Upfront Costs

    Our costs are standardised based on SMSF investment mix. Fixed fees may also be negotiated on a firm by firm basis.

    Please contact us to discuss.

  • Always Ready

    Upload everything via our secure online portal. Just click ‘notify’, and we are onto the job. Our queries, your responses, and audit updates are managed in real-time 24/7 through this portal.

  • Team Work

    Our emphasis is on working with you to navigate the SMSF landscape. Ask questions – find answers. Get it right.

Online System

How Does It Work?

Upload accounting files to our secure Australian portal (for clients on Class Super and BGL 360 we can download documents straight from your portal through an auditor login)
We upload to you engagement documents to be signed along with the financial report
Audit is commenced on receipt of documents within 24 hours
Audit queries or items missing emailed direct to your firm within short time frame (if any)
Audit is signed off and audit report and management letter is uploaded to you

Please don’t hesitate to call us for more information or a pre-audit checklist if you have never sent us audits this way so we can set your firm up with a log in to the secure portal.

Audit Fee Guide

Whether your firm has 5 or 500 Funds, we have a fee package to suit you.

The above is a guide only and we prefer to receive a draft copy of the financial report before providing a quote. We prefer not to categorise fees because it can unfairly apply, and the above should be a guide only of the range of our audit fees. If the audit contains a breach that is required by the ATO to be reported to them, up to an extra $150 is added for an auditor contravention report and audit qualification depending on the number of breaches and the simplicity of the rectification. (This includes detailed management letter outlining the breach and also advice to the accountants/trustees to rectify the breach)

Note that the above fees can be locked in at a lower fixed rate for large SMSF administration firms with over 100 funds.
