Welcome to the June edition of the Cloudoffis Bulletin.
It’s hard to believe how swiftly we’ve completed the financial year and started the new one. This issue is packed with our favourite topics: industry trends, customer highlights, and plenty of product updates to help you kick off the new financial year with a bang.
So grab a cuppa and settle in!
Industry trends
Back in January, we predicted that auditors would be required to safeguard their businesses against compliance risks and we would see a spike in businesses looking to streamline operational processes for enhanced efficiency
These trends have indeed started to take shape. SMSF auditors adopting Cloudoffis for compliance and prioritising operational efficiencies are experiencing incredible success. These forward-thinking customers report delivering more audits, faster, and with greater confidence than ever before.
Customer spotlight
David Alcock, Manager at Integrated Audit Services, chose Cloudoffis for its comprehensive compliance support and its ability to address specific compliance needs that their previous manual system couldn’t handle.
However, he was pleasantly surprised to find additional benefits, including significant time savings through automation, which drastically reduced the time spent on audits. He also experienced fewer headaches thanks to simplified compliance and audit management, and gained valuable operational insights with an enhanced ability to track data and processes.

A historical record of when and who prepared, reviewed, audited or approved paperwork at each stage of the process, this feature helps you keep a track of your processes in your practice for years to come.
SMSF Sorted
We received feedback from our accounting clients at the end of FY23, highlighting the need for deeper integrations with the industry’s leading apps. You asked, and we delivered.
This year, we’ve focused on enhancing how accountants prepare their SMSF workpapers in Class and collaborate with auditors to expedite fund turnaround.
For accountants aiming for greater efficiency, we introduced an integration with FYI Docs. This allows you to seamlessly import and export documentation without leaving Cloudoffis.
Recognising the importance of audit support, we added a new “Signed Off” feature to Sorted Pro’s workflow, making it easier to track who has approved financials.
If you’d like any further information on the features we’ve delivered this year, reach out to Kresant in Sales or Dilnar and Jocelyn in Customer Success.
In the meantime, we’d like to thank you for another great year. We’re excited to introduce many new features as we continue leading the industry with our product investments into FY25.
