What's New?
On behalf of everyone at Accountants Super, we want to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and safe Christmas period. We hope you get the chance to take some time off and relax with family and friends, and we look forward to working with you in 2009.
Accountants Super is a division of Professional Associations Superannuation Fund (PASF), a fund that has experienced significant growth over the last three years.
