If you're an accountant, you may be wondering which super fund is the best one for you. There are more super fund in Australia today than ever before, and it can be a difficult decision to make, not knowing who will best take care of your retirement funds. You first have to make the decision of whether you want to put your retirement money in an industry super fund or in a retail super fund. Industry super funds were begun by trade unions and other trade entities for workers in a particular industry, but in recent years the law has changed so that anyone can join any super regardless in what industry their occupation is. You also don't have to go with the super your employer nominates: you're free to choose which super you want to invest in.

Should you join Accountants Super, an accountants super fund? Accountants Super is an industry fund, meaning it's not-for-profit and that your interests will not be competing with the interests of shareholders, which is what happens in retail super funds. The management fees for having an account with Accountants Super are low, which means that's more money that's being left in your super account. Even if you're not an accountant, Accountants Super is a great choice for workers regardless of occupation as well as for the self-employed regardless of industry. Accountants Super also offers life insurance to its members at competitive rates, another great way you can save money just from being with Accountants Super.

While anyone is free to join Accountants Super, the super was set up for accounting professionals. They have many years of experience in helping accountants build their nest eggs so that their post-retirement life is secure and prosperous. Accountants Super customer service representatives and financial planners have specialized knowledge to help accountants and other accounting professions manage their super investments in the most lucrative manner and the most effective way possible.

If you're thinking about joining the Accountants superannuation fund, make sure you contact your current super fund so that you can consolidate your super into your Accountants Super fund.
