Optimo Financial releases changes to super software
Sydney-based fintech firm, Optimo Financial is releasing new alterations for its Pathfinder Online superannuation strategy software, ahead of the super changes legislated to apply from 1 July this year.
Optimo Financial chief executive, Hugh Bannister, said that the optimisation technology which underpinned the Pathfinder Online software and incorporated tax law, super legislation, family tax benefits, and the Age Pension, would overhaul in time to include changes from the Fair and Sustainable Superannuation Bill.
“We can develop, test and deploy legislative changes very quickly in Pathfinder,” Bannister said of the alterations to the software.
“We believe we are the first software provider to include the recent super changes.”
Optimo Financial would also release a new pricing structure scheduled to coincide with the production release of Pathfinder Online in the first half of the year.
“The feedback has been positive, our beta users like the comprehensive modelling and find it easy to use,” Bannister said.
“It is attractive to advisers who don’t want to add to their overhead costs and who are focused on developing a robust, comprehensive financial strategy.”
