For two decades, McConachie Stedman has helped clients take control of their retirement through Self Managed Super Funds (SMSFs). What began as a small, compliance-focused service in 2006, has grown into a specialist division supporting hundreds of trustees with strategy, compliance and client care. This year, we are proud to be celebrating 20 years of SMSFs at McConachie Stedman.
Over 20 years ago, Self Managed Superannuation Funds were new to many Australians. It wasn’t widely understood, and for most people, accessing and managing their own super felt out of reach.
At McConachie Stedman, it started with curiosity and a belief that clients deserved more control over their financial future. Within a few years, that interest evolved into a dedicated SMSF division focused on helping clients grow their superannuation and retirement benefits, their way.
Today, we’re still helping people take control of their super.
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take the next step, we’re here to guide you.
Behind every milestone are the people who made it happen. Hear from our team as they reflect on the moments, challenges and highlights of the past 20 years.
