Mr Doulgeridis has been appointed as General Manager of the Victorian based business.

This appointment follows Stephen’s April 2019 departure from his role as General Manager – Business Development for SMSF administration firm SuperConcepts.  Given his 25 years of experience in the SMSF sector together with his vast professional network , it marks the commencement of an exciting new phase for SuperAA.

Prior to SuperConcepts, Stephen was the CEO and founder of Justsuper, a Melbourne based SMSF Administration business which prior to selling the business in 2015 to SuperConcepts, he developed from a small start-up business into one of Australia’s most respected SMSF Administrators.

SuperAA CEO Mike McHenry said the appointment of Mr Doulgeridis to the leadership team  will bolster the presence of SuperAA in the SMSF market.  “Stephen is without doubt one of the most respected SMSF practitioners working in the  industry today and we look forward to the contributions his experience and leadership will bring to our firms bold future plans.”

Commenting on his new position Mr Doulgeridis said “I am excited to be working for Australia’s leading SMSF Administration and Audit Firm and looking forward to actively contributing to enhancing and growing the firms’ presence in the SMSF market.”

Mr Doulgeridis adds “Post leaving SuperConcepts,  I carefully considered many opportunities. In the end the choice was an easy one. SuperAA is the fastest growing SMSF business in Australia and it has achieved this via organic growth rather than via acquisition. The secret to its success is very simple; provide exceptional client service at a competitive price point and guarantee your turn-around time. This is why the business has achieved such phenomenal growth in a relatively short period of time.  Add in the great culture that Mike has built both in Australia and Vietnam and my decision to join SuperAA was obvious”.

The new name, SuperConcepts, incorporates the range of services the business now offers  including SMSF administration, education and software services.

Existing brands including AMP SMSF Solutions, Ascend, Cavendish, Justsuper, Multiport, SuperIQ,  SuperMate and yourSMSF will operate as sub-brands of SuperConcepts. The  business will remain wholly owned by AMP.

“We have grown considerably over the last year, both organically and through a number of strategic  acquisitions, increasing our scale and efficiency in a rapidly growing and highly-fragmented  SMSF administration market,” Ms Fenech said.

“This change  unifies our businesses and teams, better positioning us to pursue the next  phase of our growth strategy, which will be driven by high-quality customer service, access to a range of market leading SMSF product providers and the ongoing delivery of a superior SMSF software solution, SuperMate,” Ms Fenech  said.

The SuperConcepts brand, which has been operating in the SMSF market since 1985, was selected after extensive market testing.

“We know from our research that the brand is well regarded, trusted and resonates with our customers across all of our services,” Ms Fenech said.

Customers will not experience any immediate change to how they interact with their provider. All customers are encouraged to contact their relationship manager with any questions.
