Hi Carl, I haven’t heard of them and their site in very light on detailed information, though they claim they are the preferred solution for Perpetual SMSF.

Hi all

I was just wondering if anybody has heard of a product called “Class Super” by Class Financial Systems. I stumbled across them when I read an article about Count Financial implementing their platform.

Thanks

Hi Max
Next time I enter a dividend transaction I’ll run through the accounts for you.

Dean,

Can you briefly describe your GnuCash chart of accounts, particularly with regard to accounting for dividend franking credits? For clarity could you also detail a typical (probably split) transaction using your named accounts?

Thanks Michael
You got it in one. Gnucash is right. Gimp is my image editing software and another great program.
Good luck getting up to speed with your SMSF, feel free to ask any questions.

Hi Dean,

Your inputs on SMSF (through which I found my way here) are really appreciated by a “noob” to SMSF like me. Thanks! With that last comment on GIMP(5 November 2009 at 2:57 pm), did you mean Gnucash? My cursory search on GIMP indicated it to be graphics manipulation software…?

I should add, that there are numerous benefits to using SMSF software. Ease and compliance are near the top of that list.
For those looking for an alternative then ~~GIMP~~ GnuCash does the job admirably, perhaps with a little Excel support to ensure capital gains is easily calculated. The price tag is certainly appealing to a value conscious guy who implemented complex business software for a crust.
