Topdocs

Topdocs provides a cloud-based legal document and compliance platform for accounting and financial planning firms in Australia. The company was founded in 1992 by Michael Spakman, who has a background in developing documentation for financial services professionals.

The firm offers a suite of services centered around its online platform, which allows professionals like accountants, financial planners, and lawyers to create and manage legal documents. Key offerings include templates for Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF) establishments and updates, company formations, and various types of trusts. Their business model is based on providing these document templates and compliance tools to professional firms, likely through a subscription or pay-per-document model.

In May 2020, Topdocs was acquired by Class Limited, a provider of cloud-based administration software for SMSFs. Following the acquisition, Topdocs' services were integrated with Class's existing NowInfinity platform, creating a more comprehensive offering for legal documentation, entity management, and corporate compliance. This integration aims to streamline workflows for professionals by combining document generation with corporate compliance and entity management tools like Corporate Messenger and The Trust Register.
