The Michael Lee and Associates team has a wealth of experience in superannuation. We are happy to give our clients advice on how to manage superannuation for their employees, all the way through to getting up a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) itself, and understanding the requirements must be met by SMSF trustees.
