Building the future through strategic growth

The SMSF audit industry is evolving rapidly. Increasing regulatory scrutiny, rising technology costs, and the challenge of attracting skilled staff are making it difficult for smaller independent auditors to compete. Meanwhile, many experienced auditors are approaching retirement without clear succession plans. ASF Audits understands these challenges because we're navigating the same industry landscape.

As Australia's largest independent SMSF auditor, backed by Fortitude Investment Partners, we have the resources, expertise, and commitment to ensure your practice and clients are in safe hands for the long term. Whether you're considering selling your practice, seeking a succession partner, or exploring collaborative opportunities, we'd welcome a confidential conversation about how we can work together.

Ongoing support

Transitions don't end at settlement. We provide ongoing support to ensure clients, staff, and you (if remaining involved) experience a smooth, successful integration into the ASF Audits family.

What to Expect from the Process

A transparent, respectful approach

We begin with a confidential, no-obligation discussion to understand your situation and goals. If we proceed, we'll assess your practice thoroughly, examining your client base, processes, and team to understand how you fit within ASF Audits.

Next, we develop a transparent proposal covering valuation, terms, and transition approach, welcoming questions and negotiation throughout. Once agreed, we collaborate on detailed transition plans for client communication, staff integration, and system migrations, with your input shaping the process.

Finally, our support continues beyond settlement to ensure clients, staff, and you experience a smooth integration into the ASF Audits family.
