Offshore SMSF Accounting Services
•Accurate.•Compliant.•Audit ready.
Fund establishment, SMSF administration in BGL Simple Fund 360 or Class Super, annual returns and independent audit. Our self managed super fund accountants support 3,000+ funds, accurate and audit ready.
Self Managed Super Funds are among the most popular retirement structures in Australia, and constant rule changes make it harder every year for trustees and accountants to keep up. Our SMSF accounting services are tailored to CAs, CPAs and fund advisers who want complex, tedious compliance and audit work handled by a specialist offshore team.
SMSFs need specialist knowledge, meticulous detail and strict compliance with Australian superannuation law, and as the rules keep changing, the load keeps growing. Venus provides offshore SMSF accounting exclusively to Australian practices and advisers, with our SMSF accountants taking fund administration, financials and workpapers off your plate so your team can focus on advice, with an affiliated Australian auditor available to complete the independent audit.
Our dedicated SMSF team currently manages 3,000+ super funds, works in the platforms you already use, and keeps every fund audit ready, year round and through the May lodgement run.

How we keep every fund audit ready
SMSF work is high risk and deadline driven, so accuracy and independence are built into the process from the first transaction.
- Every fund is prepared against documented SOPs and your practice's templates, then independently reviewed by a senior SMSF accountant before it reaches you.
- Investments, bank accounts and contributions are reconciled to source documents and data feeds, not estimates.
- Workpapers are linked to supporting evidence and structured the way auditors expect, so audit queries are anticipated and turnaround is fast.
- Preparation and audit are kept separate, with the independent audit completed by an affiliated ASIC registered auditor, protecting independence and meeting SIS requirements.
- Our specialists train continuously on SMSF, ATO and superannuation changes, including TBAR and contribution cap rules.
- You keep full control and live access to the fund in your software throughout.
