Software firm BGL Corporate Solutions has promoted its chief operating officer to the role of chief executive, effective 1 January 2023.

BGL has announced that Daniel Tramontana will be promoted to chief executive officer from next year, with Ron Lesh to continue in his role as managing director.

Mr Lesh said he was incredibly proud and excited to see Mr Tramontana step into the chief executive role.

“This is a momentous moment for BGL, the team, our clients and our community,” said Mr Lesh.

“Daniel’s contribution over his almost 26-year tenure at BGL has been incredible. Starting in software support to helping BGL grow from 10 to over 200 people, Daniel has had his hand in every pie. BGL would not be where it is today without him.”

Mr Tramontana first joined BGL in 1997 as a member of its support team.

With a Bachelor of Computer Science & Accounting, BGL said that Mr Tramontana has added a new area of competency to BGL’s support and training teams.

Through his time at BGL, he obtained a Master’s in Business Administration and a Six Sigma Black Belt while performing in roles including general manager and, most recently, chief operating officer, the software company said.

After almost 26 years at BGL, Mr Tramontana said it was an honour to have been promoted as chief executive.

“Software is at the core of what we do. It’s the reason thousands of firms choose to transact with us,” he said.

“Our market-leading solutions will continue to evolve from strength to strength as we grow our presence in Australia and overseas. But clients stay at BGL because of our people, community and culture.

“My desire is for clients, prospects and the community to engage with us because of who we are, what we stand for, and the memorable moments we deliver. Our people are our greatest point of differentiation, and I am truly blessed with the best.”

The feature will allow clients to electronically prepare and lodge the return, the firm says.

BGL Corporate Solutions has added electronic lodgment of company tax returns to its Simple Invest 360 software.

BGL managing director Ron Lesh said it was an industry-first and the feature supported the 2022 annual tax return and associated schedules, which were populated automatically by Simple Invest 360’s CGT engine.

“With the ATO’s approval, BGL clients can now prepare and electronically lodge the 2022 company tax return in Simple Invest 360, streamlining their compliance workflow,” he said.

The update also provided automatically generated reports such as a declaration of dividends, dividends paid minute report, a director’s report, and a dividend statement. BGL said clients previously had to manually create these supporting documents in Microsoft Excel or Word.

Simple Invest 360 product manager Andrew Paszko said: “Simple Invest 360 is in a class of its own, offering investment reporting, CGT tracking, shareholder register, dividend payment, full set of financials, accounting workpapers and now electronic lodgement of the company tax return all in one user-friendly software.”

The Simple Invest 360 product aimed to provide an end-to-end investment portfolio management system for companies, individuals and trusts, BGL said, with this release adding to its capability.

The software also integrates with BGL’s CAS 360 and Simple Fund 360 systems.

Founded in 1983, BGL Corporate Solutions started with only two employees and has grown to become one of the largest developers of compliance software in the world, with more than 180 employees globally.

BGL provides cloud-based company compliance management, SMSF, and portfolio administration software to over 8,000 businesses in 15 countries, with clients ranging from major accounting and law firms to financial planners and individual SMSF trustees.
