Everyday work that slows a practice down
Company secretarial work is important, but it sits behind client deadlines, and that is usually where things start to slip.
ASIC compliance gets pushed down the list
Annual review fees, director changes and address updates all matter, but they rarely feel urgent until a deadline has already passed.
Trust deeds carry professional risk
If a deed turns out not to be compliant, someone has to stand behind it. Template services do not offer that level of professional sign-off.
A registration should not sit in a queue
When a client is ready to move, internal capacity should not be the thing holding up the registration.
Corporate secretarial people are hard to replace
They are difficult to recruit and expensive to train, and when someone leaves the knowledge usually goes with them. Deadlines keep coming while you recruit and retrain.
Three ways to work with us
Every firm handles corporate secretarial differently, so we run three service models. The work covered is much the same in each. What changes is who holds the registered agent status and whose name your clients see.
How it works
Switching from your current arrangement
You might be managing ASIC in-house, working in the portal yourself, or sitting with another provider. We handle the transition either way, and it happens behind the scenes.
How long does onboarding take?
Most firms are fully onboarded within two to four weeks, with urgent deadlines covered from the first week. We import your client data, set up the compliance calendar, and confirm everything is live before we take over. Larger books take a little longer.
Will my clients be disrupted?
No. Your clients don't need to do anything and won't receive any communication from us. On the Outsourced model the ASIC registered agent changes behind the scenes; on White Label everything stays under your brand.
What information do you need from us?
A list of entities with their ACNs, and your current ASIC agent details. We handle the data migration, the agent transfer paperwork and the compliance calendar setup.
When does it take effect?
From go-live. Every annual review fee, solvency resolution and change notification becomes our responsibility that day.

What your clients will experience
The biggest concern when outsourcing is disruption. Here's what actually changes for your clients: nothing.
Same documentation
Your clients receive the same constitutions, consents, share certificates and registers.
Faster turnaround
Formations are completed the same business day rather than waiting for a gap in your team’s workload.
Your name, your relationship
All communication goes through your firm. Your clients see your letterhead, your team, your service.
No client-facing change
We onboard your client book behind the scenes. No emails go to your clients and nothing changes in how they deal with your firm.
How we work
A natural extension of your in-house team.
We work in three service models, sized to your client book and how hands-on you want us to be.
Reviews from accounting practices
Our firm has dealt with CoSec Partners for some 20 years. A most professional, efficient and prompt company to deal with. Nothing is ever to difficult to deal with.
Prompt and professional service. The team at CoSec Partners have always been excellent to deal with. My practice utilises their services in all of my clients company and trust creations. I would highly recommend CoSec Partners.
Quick and easy to order online. Uncomplicated and as accountants, our clients appreciate the quick service. The company I work for was using another service but the minute I started working for them I changed to CoSec Partners as I had used this company for over 25 years in another job as they are the best.
