SMSF Audit Melbourne

Melbourne SMSF trustees require an independent audit each financial year before lodging their annual return with the ATO. Whether your fund is based in the CBD, Eastern Suburbs, Western Suburbs, Bayside, or regional Victoria, finding a qualified SMSF auditor who's local, responsive, and fairly priced shouldn't be difficult. AuditLink connects Melbourne trustees with 3-6 registered SMSF auditors across Victoria who provide transparent, fixed-price quotes within 24-48 hours.

Typical Deadlines & Timeframes

SMSF audits must be completed before your fund's annual return is lodged with the ATO. Most funds operate on a 30 June financial year-end, meaning your audit needs to be finalised by October (or May if you have outstanding compliance issues). Melbourne trustees often prefer local auditors for face-to-face consultations or property inspections. Peak season runs from July to October, so posting your job early ensures faster turnaround and better pricing from Melbourne-based auditors.

What Does a SMSF Audit Cost in 2025?

SMSF audit fees in Melbourne typically range from $650 to $1,500 depending on fund complexity, number of members, asset types, and whether you use cloud accounting software like Class or BGL. Simple funds with 1-2 members and standard ASX shares usually sit at the lower end ($650-$900). Funds with Melbourne property holdings, related-party loans, or in-specie transfers cost more ($1,000-$1,500+). Our marketplace helps you compare quotes from Melbourne auditors transparently so you're never overpaying.

Why Clients Hate Doing This Themselves

Most Melbourne SMSF trustees dread audit season. Finding a local auditor who's ASIC-registered, experienced with Victorian property regulations and land tax, and won't gouge you on price takes hours of research. Then there's the back-and-forth requesting documents, clarifying transactions, and waiting weeks for the final report. One pricing surprise or missed deadline can derail your entire lodgement. Many Melbourne trustees just stick with the same overpriced auditor year after year out of inertia. It's exhausting.
