BGL Corporate Solutions has been recognised as an accredited Mental Health First Aid Skilled Workplace.

BGL is 1 of 165 organisations across Australia recognised as part of the Mental Health First Aid Australia Skilled Workplace Program, which was first introduced in 2018. The program aims to inspire positive change and celebrates organisations driving mental health literacy and competency skills.

“This is a great achievement” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “Our people work tirelessly to provide award-winning software solutions and customer service for our clients. Supporting our team members’ mental health and wellbeing has never been more important. To have mental health and wellbeing deeply embedded in our culture is something I am so very proud of.”

“BGL has always been focused on the mental health and wellbeing of our team and we have implemented many initiatives to support our team members. One of which was to have all BGL leaders trained in mental health first aid,” added Lesh. “With the help of Joel Clapham, Founder and Chief Mental Health Champ at Hearten Up, BGL had all our leaders trained as Mental Health First Aiders. This equates to 1 trained Mental Health First Aider for every 7 BGL team members.”

“This initiative alone has had an enormous positive impact on our leaders and our team members,” continued Lesh. “It has also positioned us to be recognised as a Great Place to Work.”

“Creating and sustaining a mentally healthy workplace requires constant and consistent effort,” said Lesh. “We will continue to invest in new and better ways to educate our team, raise awareness and reduce the stigma related to mental health. It is just so important.”

BGL Corporate Solutions, Australia’s leading provider of SMSF, investment portfolio and company compliance management software, have announced it now accepts Bitcoin for payment of its CAS 360, Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 annual software subscriptions.

“We are very excited to offer our clients the option to pay their annual software subscriptions with Bitcoin,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director.

“From today, BGL clients will be able to pay into our Crypto Wallet thanks to our partnership with Australia’s own cryptocurrency exchange, Cointree. Clients will simply click a link on our invoices and complete the transfer.”

Cointree provides an outstanding cryptocurrency exchange experience and is a go-to for many Australians buying, selling or trading cryptocurrency – especially first-time traders.

“With cryptocurrency continuing to grow in popularity, our partnership with Cointree provides an easy way for BGL to offer subscription payments in cryptocurrency,” added Lesh.

Cointree is the first exchange to join the BGL Ecosystem providing Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 clients an easy way to process cryptocurrency transactions, value and keep track of their portfolio and help with the calculation of CGT events for SMSFs, trusts, companies and individuals.

Cointree’s CEO, Jess Renden said, “We’ve been helping Australians access crypto since launching in 2013 and are proud to partner with a forward thinking organisation like BGL.”

“Consumers have embraced cryptocurrency in recent years and it’s becoming more common for people to use it as a means to pay bills, so when BGL wanted to offer its customers a way to pay bills our team were ready to help find a solution,” added Renden.

BGL and Cointree also co-developed NBOC; an Australian-based solution providing a daily price feed for hundreds of cryptocurrencies. NBOC’s exclusive daily automated data feed provides BGL’s Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 clients with up-to-date prices for cryptocurrency for SMSFs, companies, trusts and individuals. The cryptocurrency valuation is used for calculating values for financial reports and member balances.
