Existing SMSF trustees

Ideal for trustees who are cash heavy, under advised or facing compliance questions. See case study

Common challenges

  • Too much cash sitting idle or a legacy platform that feels expensive.
  • An investment strategy that’s unclear, outdated or not audit ready.
  • Minimal proactive guidance with concerns about compliance.

How we help

We refresh and document your investment strategy to align with your goals and the legal requirements; and provide ongoing stewardship including reviews, reporting and practical next steps for changes in circumstances. We’ll recommend low cost ETF portfolios with direct, CHESS-held (HIN) ownership.

Typical outcomes

  • Lower ongoing costs and a simpler, more transparent portfolio.
  • Confidence at audit time with a documented investment strategy.
  • A clear plan you understand and follow.
  • Access to professional SMSF advice.

What our clients say

We thought we were on top of our SMSF until Bronson Financial Services uncovered some compliance issues and excessive fees we didn’t really understand. Now our fund is fully compliant, diversified and working harder for our retirement. This has given us complete peace of mind.
