BGL recognised as Best RegTech Solution

By BGL Update, TechnologyNo Comments

BGL is proud to announce it has been recognised as Best RegTech Solution in the FinTech Breakthrough Awards 2022.

“This is a sensational achievement by the BGL team. I could not be prouder of each and every one of them.” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “In just over 3 months, BGL has received industry recognition from FinTech Breakthrough Awards 2022 for Best RegTech Solution, Australian Enterprise Awards 2022 for Best Accounting Software Manufacturer, Lawyer International (Legal 100) 2022 for Compliance Software Innovator of the Year – Australia and from the Global Excellence Awards 2022 for Best Fund Administration Software Provider – Australia, among many others”.

“The team has worked tirelessly to ensure our clients have the best solutions to meet their needs and these awards are a tribute to their hard work,” added Lesh. “For over 30 years BGL has been the leading provider of SMSF administration, portfolio administration and ASIC corporate compliance solutions in Australia and we would not be here without our amazing team of 180+ sensational committed professionals”. 

Coincidentally, the recognition as Best RegTech Solution comes just after BGL concluded the industry’s first major face-to-face event in almost two years, BGL REGTECH 2022. The events in Sydney (01/03), Adelaide (09/03) and Melbourne (16/03) were a huge success with over 300 clients and 21 exhibitors in attendance across the three locations, with events in Brisbane, Tasmania and maybe even Perth in the near future.

BGL adds Company Constitutions to CAS 360!

By BGL Update, CAS 360No Comments

BGL is proud to announce the release of Company Constitutions in its cloud-based ASIC corporate compliance and trust management software solution, CAS 360.

“Another great achievement by the BGL team” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “This was a highly requested feature and it’s fantastic to have some of the industry’s leading document providers partner with us on this integration.”

Changes to CAS 360 in September 2021 made it easier than ever for clients to lodge company incorporations with ASIC from CAS 360. Now, through BGL’s partnership with leading document providers Entity Makers, LightYear Docs and Smarter SMSF, clients can purchase a company constitution directly from CAS 360.

A company constitution is a legal document that defines how a company can operate. It also sets out the rights and duties of people in the company such as members, directors, and the company secretary.

“By integrating with several document providers, our clients can choose who they purchase their constitutions from. That’s what makes CAS 360 unique” added Lesh. “The BGL Ecosystem has 350+ partners and we will continue to grow our partnerships in this area.”

BGL collaborates with Cointree to provide cryptocurrency price feed NBOC

BGL collaborates with Cointree to provide cryptocurrency price feed NBOC

BGL Corporate Solutions, Australia’s leading provider of SMSF administration, portfolio administration and ASIC corporate compliance solutions, in collaboration with Cointree, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, announce the release of NBOC; an Australian based solution providing a daily price feed for hundreds of cryptocurrencies.

“This is an industry first solution, and we are extremely proud to have developed NBOC together with our long-term friends and partners at Cointree,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “Unlike stocks on the ASX that cease trading every afternoon and have a single price, cryptocurrencies are traded 24/7 across multiple exchanges and in multiple countries. This makes accurate valuation challenging. So, BGL and Cointree developed NBOC to solve this problem for our clients with the goal of making cryptocurrency valuations reliable and more accessible for everyone.”

“We have witnessed a significant increase in SMSFs and trusts investing in cryptocurrency over the last five years,” said Shane Stevenson, Cointree’s CEO. “There is an increasing need to value cryptocurrency trades accurately and with confidence. The BGL team has been fantastic to work with and we are all very excited to deliver an industry-first solution to SMSFs.”

Cryptocurrencies are a growing asset class in BGL’s Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 which now administers $100’s of millions in cryptocurrencies. NBOC’s exclusive daily automated data feed will provide 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 at 30 June.

NBOC aggregates the public pricing data from five of Australia’s largest and longest-running crypto exchanges; Cointree, BTC Markets, CoinSpot, CoinJar and Independent Reserve. Combining this data provides a ‘fair and reasonable’ valuation. As each exchange may have differing prices, NBOC will generate valuation taking into account these differing prices.

“The BGL Ecosystem has 350+ partners and we are thrilled to add Cointree NBOC to the list,” added Lesh.

BGL celebrates CAS 360's 5th anniversary

BGL is proud to celebrate the 5th anniversary of its cloud-based ASIC corporate compliance and trust management software solution, CAS 360.

“I’m incredibly proud of the team and their achievements over the past 5 years” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “When we launched CAS 360 on 22 February 2017, our product team consisted of 7 members: Warren Renden, Andy Tam, Mark Flynn, Adam Polat, Dubi Laviati, Jeremy Hofsteede and Olly Weinmann. And in just 21 weeks, the team added over 600 clients and 100,000 companies to the platform. It’s been full steam ahead since then.”

“Today, the CAS 360 product team has grown to 23 members supporting 2,600+ clients, 640,000+ companies and 100,000+ trusts across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore” continued Lesh.

CAS 360 has revolutionised the way ASIC corporate compliance work is managed in Australia with its streamlined Annual Review process, including automated tracking, downloads, database comparison review and delivery of the annual statement pack to clients. Plus, daily automated smart alerts help users easily manage Annual Review dates, document deadlines and company debt.

In the past 5 years, CAS 360 clients have added 2.2m contacts, prepared 5.4m document packs, sent 2.1m emails and processed 230k dividends. Quite an incredible achievement!

“The future is bright for CAS 360” added Lesh. “We have big plans for 2022 including the official release of CAS 360 Singapore (currently in beta), the release of CAS 360 Hong Kong, the start of work on CAS 360 United Kingdom and further development in Australia and New Zealand. Certainly, watch this space!”
