Count SMSF investment in key partnership
A specialist self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) company in which Count Financial took an early strategic shareholding, Class Super, is the latest entity to enter into a strategic partnership to bring a new range of tools to SMSF trustees.
The company has entered into a strategic partnership with CCH Australia with an offering specifically targeted at accountants, administrators and auditors.
The partnership will see the integration of Class Financial’s products with CCH’s engagement platform, which it is claimed will improve audit workflow. The partnership also sees the integration of CCH’s content on SMSF and broader taxation legislation.
Commenting on the partnership, Class Super chairman Barry Lambert (pictured) said it would allow both parties to simplify and automate many of the manual and routine tasks which currently dominate the cost structures of accountants and administrators dealing with SMSFs.
“Count is pleased to have been an early stage investor in Class which allows accountants and SMSF administrators to administer SMSFs much more efficiently,” he said.
Lambert said Class had enjoyed strong support from the Count network, and in particular CountPlus where after limited exposure over 50 per cent of the firms now used Class to administer their SMSFs.
