Responsibilities
What can an SMSF Production Virtual Assistant take off your team’s plate?
Start with coding bank and investment transactions, reconciling bank and investment accounts, and organising annual fund source documents. Keep approvals, exceptions, and specialist judgment with the right internal owner while the SMSF Production Virtual Assistant handles the repeatable work.
Core SMSF Production support
Start by giving coding bank and investment transactions and reconciling bank and investment accounts one owner, one source of truth, and a clear definition of done.
- Coding Bank And Investment Transactions
- Reconciling Bank And Investment Accounts
- Organising Annual Fund Source Documents
Workflow and coordination
Document how preparing supporting workpapers and checking pension and contribution records move between people and tools so handoffs do not disappear into chat.
- Preparing Supporting Workpapers
- Checking Pension And Contribution Records
- Maintaining Document Request Lists
Follow-through and visibility
Use preparing audit support packs and updating fund production status to keep completed work, exceptions, and next actions visible to the team.
- Preparing Audit Support Packs
- Updating Fund Production Status
Not sure what to delegate? Start with the work that repeats every week.
Send a quick brief List the recurring tasks, bottlenecks, tools, response times, and approvals. That is usually enough to define the first version of the role.
How the role works
Set up the work before you hand it over.
For smsf accounting firms and public practice accounting firms, the strongest SMSF Production setup is usually a defined operating role rather than a loose list of errands. The client owns the process and decisions; the Virtual Assistant owns the recurring execution that has been clearly delegated.
Separate data preparation from approval. The Virtual Assistant can gather source documents, update systems, reconcile records, flag exceptions, and prepare work for review while the client keeps control of approvals and financial authority.
A good finance workflow has traceable source documents, clear cut-off dates, reconciliation checks, and an exception list. If a number cannot be tied back to a source, it should be flagged rather than guessed.
Payments, bank authority, tax positions, final journal approval, financial advice, and other controlled decisions should stay with the client or appropriately qualified professional.
First 30 days
A practical onboarding plan for an SMSF Production Virtual Assistant
Keep the first month narrow enough to review properly. Add scope only after the original workflow is accurate and predictable.
- Week 1
Learn the workflow
Start with coding bank and investment transactions, reconciling bank and investment accounts, and organising annual fund source documents. Give the Virtual Assistant examples of good completed work, access only to the systems needed for those tasks, and a short daily check-in while the process is still new.
- Weeks 2-3
Add ownership
Once the basics are consistent, add preparing supporting workpapers and checking pension and contribution records. Ask the Virtual Assistant to document recurring questions and turn repeat answers into a checklist or SOP instead of relying on chat history.
- Week 4
Review by outcomes
By the end of the first month, review whether coding bank and investment transactions, reconciling bank and investment accounts, organising annual fund source documents are running consistently, exceptions are recorded instead of hidden, and the remaining decisions that need your input are clearly documented.
Common hiring mistakes
Three mistakes that make this role harder than it needs to be
Do not combine coding bank and investment transactions, reconciling bank and investment accounts, and unrelated specialist work into one role without setting priorities.
Do not hand over full BGL Simple Fund 360 access on day one. Give the minimum permissions coding bank and investment transactions actually needs, and widen it as the work proves out.
Do not judge this role on activity counts. For SMSF Production work, accuracy on reconciling bank and investment accounts and the state of unresolved exceptions matter far more than hours logged.
Managing the role
Use a small scorecard instead of watching every click.
For the first month, review a few measures that tell you whether the work is dependable. The exact targets should come from your own workload and service standards.
- Coding Bank And Investment Transactions: completed on time, with exceptions recorded instead of hidden
- Reconciling Bank And Investment Accounts: accuracy or rework rate based on a sample the manager actually reviews
- Organising Annual Fund Source Documents: turnaround time from a complete request to a usable result
- Open items: any coding bank and investment transactions blocked past the agreed response window, with the blocker and next owner named
- Documentation: BGL Simple Fund 360 records current enough that someone else could pick up coding bank and investment transactions tomorrow
Tools and skills
Hire for workflow fluency, not a software checklist.
Software familiarity matters, but process judgment matters more. Ask candidates to explain what they completed inside the tool, how they checked accuracy, and what they escalated.
