Brisbane SMSF Specialists — New Wave SMSF
New Wave SMSF provides specialist self-managed super fund services to business owners and professionals across Brisbane — from the CBD and inner suburbs to the northern corridor, southside, and western suburbs.
Based on the Gold Coast with clients throughout South East Queensland, we deliver expert SMSF advice via video consultation and in-person meetings. Our clients include business owners in Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, Newstead, Paddington, Bulimba, and across greater Brisbane.
As part of the New Wave Group — integrating accounting, financial planning, and legal services — we deliver connected SMSF strategy, not siloed advice.
SMSF Services for Brisbane Business Owners
SMSF Setup
Complete SMSF establishment for Brisbane business owners — trust deed, corporate trustee, ATO registration, investment strategy, and rollover management. Most setups are completed within 2–4 weeks.
Ongoing Compliance
Annual financial statements, tax returns, audit coordination, and ATO reporting. We keep your fund compliant so you can focus on your business.
Tax Strategy
Contribution optimisation, carry-forward strategies, CGT harvesting, salary sacrifice planning, and pension phase structuring — specifically designed for Brisbane business owners who want to minimise tax legally.
Commercial Property
Brisbane’s commercial property market offers strong opportunities for SMSF investors. We guide you through purchasing business premises inside your SMSF — including LRBA structuring, bare trust setup, and ongoing compliance. Areas like Fortitude Valley, Newstead, Milton, Woolloongabba, and the Brisbane CBD are popular with SMSF property investors.
SMSF Reviews

Brisbane SMSF: Commercial Property Opportunities
Brisbane’s commercial property market is particularly attractive for SMSF investors in 2026:
- 2032 Olympics infrastructure — Significant government investment in transport, venues, and urban renewal is driving property values across Brisbane.
- Strong rental yields — Commercial properties in Fortitude Valley, Newstead, Milton, and the CBD offer competitive yields for SMSF investors.
- Business growth corridor — Brisbane’s northern corridor (Chermside, North Lakes) and southern corridor (Eight Mile Plains, Springwood) are experiencing strong commercial demand.
- Population growth — Brisbane’s population growth is among the highest in Australia, supporting long-term property demand.
For Brisbane business owners currently renting commercial premises, purchasing through an SMSF means your rent payments build equity in your own super fund — instead of paying a landlord.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Brisbane to use New Wave SMSF?
No. While we’re based on the Gold Coast and service many Brisbane clients, we work with SMSF trustees nationally via video consultation. Location is not a barrier.
How much does an SMSF cost in Brisbane?
SMSF costs are the same regardless of location. Setup typically costs $2,000–$4,500. Ongoing annual compliance runs $3,000–$6,000. These are fixed costs — they don’t increase as your balance grows.
Can I buy a Brisbane commercial property through my SMSF?
Yes. Your SMSF can purchase commercial property in Brisbane (or anywhere in Australia) and lease it to your business at market rate. This is one of the most powerful strategies for business owners — and Brisbane’s commercial market offers strong opportunities in 2026.
What’s the difference between a Brisbane accountant and an SMSF specialist?
A general accountant handles tax returns, BAS, and business accounting — with SMSFs as one of many services. An SMSF specialist focuses exclusively on self-managed super funds — setup, compliance, strategy, and optimisation. The depth of knowledge and proactive advice is significantly different.
Can I switch my SMSF from my current Brisbane accountant to New Wave?
Yes. Switching is straightforward — we handle the transition, obtain your records from your current provider, and ensure no disruption to your fund. Many of our Brisbane clients switched from general accountants who weren’t delivering proactive SMSF strategy.
