“This integration will help CAS 360 and SuiteFiles clients in Australia and New Zealand automate workflows such as Annual Returns/Reviews, filing, and company management.”

“CAS 360 was one of our most requested integrations because of the number of clients SuiteFiles and BGL share,” said Andrew Sims, CEO of SuiteFiles. “We’re pleased to bring CAS 360’s automated workflows and our document management together for the benefit of our shared clients.”

SuiteFiles is a time-saving document management solution that allows clients to securely manage, edit, share, and sign documents. Integrating CAS 360 and SuiteFiles allows BGL clients to upload or generate documents in CAS 360 and automatically save them in SuiteFiles.

This feature will save clients time by streamlining the workflow between the two applications, removing the need to manually add documents to SuiteFiles while improving the visibility of data and documents across their businesses.

“This one-way integration allows SuiteFiles to pull documents and data directly from CAS 360,” added Lesh. “Plus, any changes to documents prepared in CAS 360 will automatically synchronise to SuiteFiles. It’s seamless!”

BGL Corporate Solutions, Australia’s leading provider of self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF), investment portfolio and company compliance management software, announce the electronic lodgment of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) payment summaries to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is now available in its SMSF administration software, Simple Fund 360.

“It’s fantastic to release another highly requested feature. I am extremely proud of the efforts of the BGL team,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “This feature will go a long way to make our clients’ lives easier.”

“Generally, the trustee of an SMSF will be required to withhold tax for superannuation benefit payments if the member receiving the payment is under 60 and is taking their benefit in the form of an income stream (pension) or a lump sum,” said Lesh. “There are also circumstances around defined benefit income streams and death benefits.”

“When an SMSF withholds an amount from a payment, it is required to pay that same amount to the ATO using an approved form,” continued Lesh. “Traditionally, this has been done manually, requiring the completion of paper forms to be submitted to the ATO. With this release, BGL clients can electronically submit the PAYG payment summaries to the ATO via Simple Fund 360, making the process paperless and saving SMSF professionals hours.”

“This is just one of many features we plan to release to make SMSF administration paperless,” added Lesh. “Watch this space!”
BGL now has over 250,000 funds administered on Simple Fund 360, representing 41% of the estimated 605,000 SMSFs in Australia, cementing its position as the most widely used SMSF administration software solution.

BGL Corporate Solutions has been recognised as an accredited Mental Health First Aid Skilled Workplace.

BGL is 1 of 165 organisations across Australia recognised as part of the Mental Health First Aid Australia Skilled Workplace Program, which was first introduced in 2018. The program aims to inspire positive change and celebrates organisations driving mental health literacy and competency skills.

“This is a great achievement” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “Our people work tirelessly to provide award-winning software solutions and customer service for our clients. Supporting our team members’ mental health and wellbeing has never been more important. To have mental health and wellbeing deeply embedded in our culture is something I am so very proud of.”

“BGL has always been focused on the mental health and wellbeing of our team and we have implemented many initiatives to support our team members. One of which was to have all BGL leaders trained in mental health first aid,” added Lesh. “With the help of Joel Clapham, Founder and Chief Mental Health Champ at Hearten Up, BGL had all our leaders trained as Mental Health First Aiders. This equates to 1 trained Mental Health First Aider for every 7 BGL team members.”

“This initiative alone has had an enormous positive impact on our leaders and our team members,” continued Lesh. “It has also positioned us to be recognised as a Great Place to Work.”

“Creating and sustaining a mentally healthy workplace requires constant and consistent effort,” said Lesh. “We will continue to invest in new and better ways to educate our team, raise awareness and reduce the stigma related to mental health. It is just so important.”
