BGL ranked as one of Australia’s Best Technology Workplaces

BGL Corporate Solutions (BGL), Australia’s leading provider of company compliance, self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) and investment portfolio management software, have been ranked in the inaugural ‘Australia’s Best Workplaces in Technology List 2023’ by Great Place to Work® Australia.

The recognition comes just a few months after BGL announced its Great Place to Work® recertification for the 2022-2023 year.

“This is another incredible accomplishment by the BGL Team,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “To be listed alongside large businesses like Cisco, Salesforce and Atlassian is a great achievement. I’m extremely proud of our leaders and People and Culture Team, who work tirelessly to create and foster a workplace culture where everyone is valued and respected.”

94% of employees at BGL Corporate Solutions said it is a great place to work compared to 56% of employees at typical Australian businesses.

Daniel Tramontana, Chief Executive Officer at BGL, said, “We have said it before and will say it again. Software is at the core of what we do. But clients stay with BGL because of our people, community and culture. They 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. So, we will continue to invest in, prioritise and implement initiatives to support our teams’ career development, mental health and well-being.”

Nadine Freitag, People and Culture Manager at BGL, said, “Choosing to become a certified Great Place to Work® is a no-brainer for us. We recognise that our people drive our greatest asset and strive to create a positive work environment fostering collaboration, growth and innovation. Being certified strengthens our employer brand by demonstrating our commitment to providing a workplace where employees feel supported.”

“We sincerely thank all our people and leaders who continuously support our teams and clients and believe in our wonderful products,” continued Freitag. “This award helps showcase our commitment to maintaining our supportive and positive culture and will motivate us to continue improving and growing as a business.”

Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, revealed the best-of-the-best in the technology industry when it comes to people-first, purpose-driven employee culture. The companies were shortlisted using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback.

In recent years, BGL was recognised on the Great Place To Work® Best Workplaces for Women List and the AFR BOSS Best Places to Work List as the 6th best technology workplace in Australia and New Zealand.

BGL integrates with accountantsGPS to streamline SMSF reporting

Checking on the health of an SMSF is now a lot simpler with the integration of the Simple Fund 360 with fintech platform accountantsGPS.

SMSF software provider BGL Corporate Solutions (BGL) has added Mebourne-based company accountantsGPS to its suite to offer its clients an SMSF check-up report, which can provide a comprehensive analysis of a fund’s compliance and financial situation to evaluate how the fund is progressing in key areas.

BGL managing director Ron Lesh said the report includes SMSF documentation, investment performance, investment policy development, contribution strategies, investment property performance (including debt position), insurance and estate planning.

“The report will help Simple Fund 360 clients to determine whether the trustees and members of a fund will meet their compliance obligations as well as their longer-term investment and retirement goals,” he said.

George Haramis, chief executive and co-founder of the Fiduciary Group and accountantsGPS, said accountants can now undertake a comprehensive analysis of their clients’ SMSF across a number of key areas, adding additional value to trustees and members and eliminating the time, cost and angst of trying to create a report manually.

Jeevan Tokhi, head of Simple Fund 360 at BGL, said the integration allows BGL clients to log in to the accountantsGPS platform using their Simple Fund 360 credentials. Clients can then authorise Simple Fund 360 to pass information relating to all or a select number of their SMSFs to the accountantsGPS platform.

“BGL’s API will pre-fill 95 per cent of the information required to complete the SMSF check-up report, making this a simple, streamlined process that takes just a few minutes per fund. Importantly, it means clients can provide the report for their SMSFs without requiring an Australian Financial Services (AFS) Licence,” he said.

The collaboration will provide clients with a comprehensive analysis of a fund’s compliance and financial situation, says the firm.

BGL customers will be able to simplify their SMSF reporting thanks to the firm’s latest integration with Melbourne-based fintech accountantsGPS.

BGL managing director Ron Lesh said he was excited to bring the collaboration with accountantsGPS to his clients.

“This integration allows Simple Fund 360 clients to produce a new SMSF check-up report using accountantsGPS’s proprietary technology — a first for the SMSF market and available exclusively to BGL clients,” said Mr Lesh.

“The digital SMSF check-up report provides a comprehensive analysis of a fund’s compliance and financial situation to evaluate how a fund is progressing in many key areas.

“The report includes SMSF documentation, investment performance, investment policy development, contribution strategies, investment property performance (including debt position), insurance and estate planning.”

Mr Lesh said the report would also help Simple Fund 360 clients determine whether the trustees and members of a fund would meet their compliance obligations and longer-term investment and retirement goals.

Chief executive and co-founder of the Fiduciary Group and accountantsGPS, George Haramis, said the firm was thrilled by the capabilities it had provided in the SMSF check-up report and integrating with BGL.

“It is particularly exciting for our business to partner exclusively with BGL and offer this unique and valuable service to their accounting clients,” said Mr Haramis.

“Accountants can now undertake a comprehensive analysis of their clients’ SMSF across a number of key areas adding additional value to trustees and members and eliminating the time, cost and angst of trying to create a report manually, if achievable at all.

“It is a long-awaited development for the SMSF sector that has finally arrived.”

Head of Simple Fund 360 at BGL, Jeevan Tokhi, said the integration would streamline the creation of an SMSF report.

“The integration allows BGL clients to log in to the accountantsGPS platform using their Simple Fund 360 credentials,” said Mr Tokhi.
