    My accountant has just prepared my tax return for my SMSF and mailed me a bill along with the tax papers to sign for a bit less than $3000 (includes audit). This seems an outrageous amount for an SMSF that has only switched funds of around $200k from one bank account to another and made a couple of dozen share trades.

    What are my obligations here please? Obviously he's due some amount for the work he's done, but there's no way it's worth that much! Frankly I just want to get shot of this guy and switch to somebody who charges a reasonable rate without trying to gouge me. Btw I only made a profit of a few thou from the trading.
