Under the Jobs section in the adviser portal, all active 'Jobs' we are working on are displayed and a status or state is also attached. 

Each SMSF is allocated a Job for the following work Intello will be completing:

It is important to understand that multiple jobs are usually running for each SMSF simultaneously - for example the finalisation of the 2017 Annual Accounts (including preparing financial statements / SMSF annual return / organising the SMSF for audit etc.) would normally be occurring at the same time as the rolling periodic updating / processing of the 2018 Annual Accounts.

The Job status for Annual Accounts jobs relates to the work Intello needs to do to finalise the SMSF accounts and get the independent audit completed.

This means a clients SMSF accounts (visible online) could be reconciled and accurate from a reporting / accounting / advice perspective as at 30 June 20XX, but we haven't undertaken the finalisation tasks such as quality control reviews and collation of supporting documentation for the independent auditor.
​

Viewing the status of jobs is quick and easy to understand. Take a look at our explanation below:
