Class and Countplus announce partnership
Class Super has signed a partnership with Countplus for the provision of self-managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF) and wealth accounting software.
The new arrangement between the aligned companies was confirmed today with the result that Countplus practices will be able to take advantage of centralised billing and supporting services when using Class Super.
Class will also provide Countplus practices with dedicated resources for implementation assistance and transitioning portfolios to Class.
Commenting on the development, Class chief executive, Kevin Bungard said the agreement presented a unique opportunity for Countplus practices that had yet to try Class or were using Class software but had not transitioned all their portfolios.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for Countplus practices to move to a single cloud-based software platform and take advantage of the dramatic efficiency gains delivered by Class Super and Class Portfolio,” he said.
“With accountants under increasing pressure from regulators, clients and competitors to improve their processing and reporting of SMSFs, it’s critical to have the right systems in place to meet these challenges.”
Countplus chief executive, Matthew Rowe said Class software was already widely used in the Countplus network and that the agreement acknowledged the ongoing relationship with Class.
