Our service

For many people, SMSFs provide the most flexible and cost effective superannuation platform available in Australia today. However, without help, SMSFs can be complex and the rules can change regularly, so it can be hard to keep up with what you need to do.

Heffron and NAB have combined forces to bring you a complete SMSF package with everything you need to get started with your SMSF and run it effectively. This package brings together nearly 20 years SMSF experience with Heffron and a range of NAB's award winning investments to provide you with a comprehensive SMSF solution.

Additional Services

Where your SMSF selects additional administrative services or purchases investments outside the standard offer, additional charges will apply.

Service			Do I need this?
Pension Fund Administration	$540 per annum		This fee is only charged if your SMSF is providing a pension to one or more of the members. We charge an additional fee for pension funds because there is extra work involved each year, including calculating how much needs to be taken in pension payments, preparing additional documentation and tax reporting. We also monitor the pension payments during the course of the year to ensure that minimum pension payments are made.
Actuarial Certificates	$176 per annum		These are only required for pension funds which are still receiving contributions for some members. It’s a certificate that’s required to claim certain tax concessions.
Actuarial Certificates - Defined Benefits	$440 per annum		This is extremely rare. You will only need a defined benefit pension certificate if you have a particular type of pension established prior to 2005.
Quarterly Business Activity Statement	$540 per annum		Your fund will be automatically registered for GST and Heffron will lodge your Business Activity Statement (BAS) annually. This is covered in the standard fees above. Sometimes funds are required to lodge a BAS every quarter and if so, an additional fee will apply. This is generally only the case if the fund has commercial property.
Non-NAB Bank Account	$240 per annum		This offer comes with a NAB Cash Manager Account already set-up for you. If you want your SMSF to use a different cash account, there is an additional charge.
Non-NAB Trading Platform	$480 per annum		This service comes with a nabtrade account already set-up for you. If you want your SMSF to use a different trading platform, there is an additional charge.
Other assets that require manual data entry into our accounting systems	$300 per annum, per asset		Most investments such as bank accounts, share trading accounts etc. can provide information to Heffron electronically via an automated overnight data transfer. Where your SMSF invests in an asset that cannot provide this, there is an additional charge to cover the work involved in manually processing transactions and updating valuations. Assets which do not have an automatic flow of transaction information include collectibles, property, private companies, private trusts, managed funds and certain bank accounts and term deposits.
Technical Support	$300 per hour		Heffron have extensive SMSF experience and a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We understand that not everyone needs or wants support or may only need it for certain areas of their SMSF. For this reason we haven’t made it a compulsory fee, it may be purchased ad-hoc if and when required.
