Welcome to the March edition of the Cloudoffis Bulletin, with so much happening at Cloudoffis and across the industry, it’s a jam-packed issue.
Last month we attended the SMSF Association’s National Conference, Level Up. It was great to reconnect with our peers and feel the buzz of the industry up in Brisbane. A huge thanks to so many of our customers who came and said hi and had a chat about industry trends.
You may have noticed a few changes around Cloudoffis recently, with new team members joining, a refreshed brand, a new website and constant updates to the product. We’ve covered it all below.
Current trends
Introducing the growing Cloudoffis team
We’d like to give a warm welcome to Kresant Mahilall, Head of Sales, and Dilnar Tangri, our new Senior Customer Success Manager, who have recently joined the Cloudoffis team.
We asked them to share some of their highlights since joining Cloudoffis plus trends they’re witnessing from their conversations with Accountants and Auditors.
The SMSF Association National Conference
It was great getting out to connect with industry peers at the recent SMSF Association National Conference, Level Up, in Brisbane. From our ongoing conversations, several common challenges continue to emerge industry-wide, including the imperative to streamline processes for improved ROI and heightened concerns surrounding compliance and customer data security.
With the Cloudoffis platform constantly evolving, perhaps it’s time to ensure your team and clients are getting the most out of your subscription. Be sure to book time with our Customer Success team, Jocelyn and Dilnar.
In just 30 minutes these amazing ladies can give you tips on how to get the most out of Cloudoffis, which will translate into hours of time saved each week, happier employees and a better ROI.
The SMSF Auditors Day
This took place on Friday, 22nd March in Sydney. Kresant took the stage to highlight how Cloudoffis drives the industry forward by delivering Operational Excellence. Drawing from invaluable feedback on the daily challenges faced by auditors and accountants, the presentation showcased how Cloudoffis provides tailored solutions to foster better insights, enhance team capabilities and promote stronger collaboration.
Product update
Cloudoffis is leading the way to drive collaboration
The Cloudoffis products SMSF Sorted and SMSF Auditomation connects the processes of SMSF Accountants and Auditors like no other tools in the industry. Here’s how it works:
- Accountants submit workpapers from Sorted to Auditomation with one click
- The workpapers, docs and data are automatically organised for the auditor upon delivery, helping speed up preparation time
- Accountants and auditors collaborate on queries & track job statuses securely within the Cloudoffis platform
- Audited funds are securely stored in the SMSF Auditomation and SMSF Sorted platform and can be shared back to your favourite apps such as FYI Docs, Class and BGL 360.
Manual Audits
In an industry first for our Auditing community, we have simplified the process of manual fund uploads, helping auditors to seamlessly upload manual funds into the SMSF Auditomation platform.
With over 25% of funds still being processed manually, we recognised the urgent need for change to help our Auditing customers to service this segment of the market.
Say goodbye to intricate, error-prone procedures and hello to new revenue and happy clients.

New Feature: Historical records captured
Many of our customers turn to us for support with their compliance needs. That’s why this month we’re thrilled to announce this new feature for auditors that will simplify the way your team works.
Now, auditors using SMSF Auditomation will have a historical record of when and who prepared, reviewed, audited or approved paperwork at each stage of the process.
We’ll also ensure your organisation is well-prepared in the event of an ATO audit by helping you maintain digital records of your team’s work, conveniently accessible in one easy-to-navigate location.
Update: Organised Documents enhancement in SMSF Sorted Pro
Every little detail is important to us to help you claw time back in your day, that’s why we have enhanced the way you classify your documents in the new organised documents screen.
Now, all unclassified documents will be available in the organised documents screen, ready for bookmarking, without having to leave the screen you’re on. Once you have organised the document, you can roll it forward from the document workflow. The classification of documents can be sorted quickly and bookmarked in multiple file locations as necessary.
