BGL links with Bendzulla
Specialist self-managed superannuation funds (SMSF) software supplier BGL Corporate Solutions has added Bendzulla Actuarial to its Actuarial Certificate providers.
The move follows on from the company's announcement in May 2011 that it had released Australia's first service that fully integrates obtaining an actuarial certificate with an administrator's SMSF software.
It said that over the past five months more than 1800 certificates had been obtained through this process, saving administrators hundreds of hours of processing time.
Commenting on the latest announcement, BGL managing director Ron Lesh said the addition of Bendzulla Actuarial would give the company's clients another choice of actuary.
"BGL has always believed in giving our clients a choice in the way we provide SMSF administration services to clients. Expanding our actuaries list is therefore very logical for us," he said.
Lesh noted that Bendzulla Actuarial was an award-winning actuarial firm and Australia's largest and leading supplier of actuarial certificates for SMSFs.
