# SMSF Project Checkpoint
## Purpose
Working area for Michael's SMSF-related records, tools, decisions, and reference material.
## Current direction
- Intention is to use this space to progressively manage and document SMSF administration support.
- Initial focus is on US stock accumulation/holding record-keeping rather than active trading.
- Over time, this folder can hold supporting documents, summaries, and process notes as trust builds.
## Assets created
- `smsf-us-stocks-tracker.xlsx`
- First-pass workbook for tracking US stock purchases, dividends, FX conversion, holdings, annual summaries, and an accountant-facing summary tab.
- `transactions/actual-transactions.csv`
- Canonical ledger for real executed SMSF transactions, beginning with the 2026-05-07 NDQ purchase.
- `transactions/actual-holdings.md`
- Human-readable actual holdings snapshot.
- `source-documents/`
- Supporting screenshots, contract notes, broker confirmations, statements, and other source evidence.
## Workbook structure
- README
- Settings
- Transactions
- Dividends
- FX Rates
- Holdings
- Annual Summary
- Year-End Checklist
- Accountant Summary
## Key decisions captured
- Use a dedicated SMSF tracker workbook rather than ad hoc notes.
- Keep **actual executed transactions** separate from allocation proposals/ideas.
- Use `transactions/actual-transactions.csv` as the canonical analyzable ledger for tax/reporting work.
- Prioritise AUD reporting support for SMSF/admin/accounting use.
- Include a cleaner accountant/auditor-facing summary tab separate from detailed working sheets.
- Keep this project under `knowledge/projects/smsf/` as the long-term checkpoint location.
## Future intended use
- Record ongoing SMSF decisions, conventions, and workflows here.
- Potential future import/storage of the deed and other supporting SMSF documents once comfortable.
- Continue documenting key operational/accounting preferences as they emerge.
## Notes
- This is a documentation and operational support area, not tax or financial advice.
- Final compliance/accounting treatment should still be validated with the SMSF accountant/auditor.
