Overview

The Establish a Working Cash Account strategy in AdviserLogic’s Digital Advice module is a Custom SMSF strategy that helps you recommend and document the setup of a dedicated transactional cash account within a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF). This account can be used for managing contributions, paying expenses, and facilitating ongoing fund cashflow, which supports practical SMSF administration and liquidity planning.


Custom Strategy

The Establish a Working Cash Account SMSF Strategy is a Custom Strategy, a template with prefilled text relevant to the recommendation, rather than a strategy that calculates data.

Custom strategies are designed to reduce the time and effort required for drafting in the advisory process. By providing pre-filled text data relevant to the selected strategy, advisors do not need to start from scratch, saving valuable time.

To learn more about Strategy Types, please read the Strategy Cheat Sheet.
