The purpose of this integration to provide a window into BGL SimpleFund360 within your client and client group pages so you can get an overview of key information about your client superfunds without having to leave AccountKit.
This is only early days for our integration with BGL; Our intention is to work closely to continue to reduce the double handling of information and ensure accuracy within your client data.

Go to the Integrations tab
Hover the BGL row and select the action menu and press Connect for the BGL products you would like to connect.
Go through the BGL login process to authorise AccountKit's access.
AccountKit will now retrieve the superfunds within SimpleFund360 and link them to a client in AccountKit where it can find a match.
During the matching process, the actions carried out are as follows
Look for match via ABN
Look for match via Name
Where a match is found, but the ABN field is empty or incomplete in AccountKit, the ABN field will be automatically populated and where connected, push this change into Xero Practice Manager.
How do you use it?
After completing the syncing process, inevitably there will be some exceptions to deal with. This is where the exceptions report comes into it. The report lists any differences between the Authorised clients in AccountKit as compared to those with SimpleFund360 superfund list.
