BGL attains Mental Health Skilled Workplace Accreditation

BGL Corporate Solutions, Australia’s leading provider of self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF), investment portfolio and company compliance management software, is proud to announce it 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 adds trust tax electronic lodgement to Simple Invest 360

Company claims a first for the feature, which complements a component released early this year.

BGL Corporate Solutions has added electronic lodgement to the trust tax return feature in its Simple Invest 360 package.

The managing director of BGL, Ron Lesh, said the company was first to market with the facility, which was developed in response to demand.

“It’s nice when you are first to market with highly requested features,” he said.

“While others talk about vapourware, the BGL product teams have delivered the electronic lodgment of the trust return, and I am incredibly proud of them.”

The release complements trust tax return functions added in February that relied on a paper return and associated schedules.

“This latest release, after receiving approval from the ATO, provides our clients with the ability to electronically lodge the 2021 trust tax return from within Simple Invest 360 today,” said Mr Lesh.

BGL describes Simple Invest 360 as an end-to-end investment portfolio management system for accountants and financial professionals. Launched in June 2021, it can automate tasks such as CGT record-keeping and financial reporting, whatever the tax structure.

Mr Lesh said many people underestimated the capability of Simple Invest 360 and thought it just kept track of investments.

“They don’t realise it is a complete investment portfolio management solution that keeps track of investments, distributes profits, provides a full set of financials and makes tax return preparation and lodgment easy,” said Mr Lesh.

The added trust return function comes after integration between AVA Systems and the BGL Ecosystem.

This provided AVA’s grouped reporting ability through BGL systems, which allowed accountants to advise their clients on how they were doing in an efficient manner, with superannuation, investments and businesses all tied into one.

The relationship with AVA Systems also allowed clients of the BGL Ecosystem to consolidate Xero ledgers.

Founded in 1983, BGL Corporate Solutions started with only two employees and has grown to become one of the largest developers of compliance software in the world, with more than 180 employees globally.

BGL provides cloud-based company compliance management, SMSF and portfolio administration software to over 8,500 businesses in 15 countries.
