SMSF Accountants & Tax Structure Specialists in Sydney
Sophisticated strategies for protecting and growing your wealth - including SMSFs, family trusts, investment property tax, and complex structures.
What We Offer
Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Accounting.
When you've worked hard to build assets — investment properties, a share portfolio, a growing superannuation balance — you need an accountant with the expertise to protect what you've built. EXP-ACC provides specialist tax structures and wealth planning for Hills District investors and high-net-worth individuals. SMSF tax and compliance services are provided through Platinum Accounting Australia, Registered Tax Agent.
SMSF Accounting & Compliance
An SMSF gives you control over your superannuation investments - but with that control comes serious compliance obligations. Miss a deadline or make a structural error and the ATO can impose significant penalties. EXP-ACC provides complete SMSF accounting, from fund establishment through to annual tax returns, financial statements, and ongoing ATO compliance.

Bookkeeping FAQs
What does an SMSF Accountant actually do?
An SMSF accountant manages the compliance and reporting obligations that come with running a self-managed super fund. This includes preparing annual financial statements and tax returns, tracking member contributions, coordinating the mandatory independent audit, and ensuring your fund meets all ATO requirements. At EXP-ACC, we manage the full compliance lifecycle in partnership with Platinum Accounting Australia - with all tax returns and ATO lodgements submitted under Platinum's registered tax agent licence - so you stay in control of your investments without the administrative burden.
Is an SMSF right for me?
An SMSF is generally worth considering if you have a superannuation balance of $200,000 or more and want greater control over how your retirement savings are invested. They work particularly well for property investors, business owners, and individuals with complex financial structures. That said, SMSFs come with real compliance obligations and aren't the right fit for everyone. We offer a free initial consultation to help you assess whether an SMSF suits your situation before committing.
Do I need a separate auditor for my SMSF?
Yes - the ATO requires every SMSF to be independently audited each year by a registered SMSF auditor. Your accountant cannot audit their own client's fund. At EXP-ACC, we coordinate the audit process on your behalf, working with a registered independent auditor so you don't have to manage that relationship yourself.
How much does SMSF accounting cost?
SMSF accounting fees vary depending on the complexity of your fund, the number of members, and the types of investments held. We offer fixed-fee SMSF packages so you always know what you're paying. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your fund's specific situation.
Can EXP-ACC help me set up a new SMSF from scratch?
Yes. We handle the full establishment process — including trust deed preparation, ATO registration, member documentation, and initial setup in your chosen accounting platform. All ATO registration and lodgement work is carried out under Platinum Accounting Australia's registered tax agent licence. We'll also help you understand your obligations as a trustee before the fund becomes active, so there are no surprises down the track.
