Accounting
Outsourced accounting gives you a complete finance team. Bookkeeping, payables, receivables and reporting run by Ian & Son at a fraction of the cost of hiring, with no leave gaps and no single point of failure.
The trigger is usually one of three events. The finance executive resigns and the founder discovers how much undocumented knowledge walked out the door. The business grows past what evening-and-weekend bookkeeping can carry. Or an audit or financing round exposes how far the records have drifted. In each case the question is the same: hire, or outsource. A capable full-time hire in Singapore costs several times our monthly fee, still takes leave, and still resigns. A team does not.

Bookkeeping records what happened. Outsourced accounting also runs the process: bills get paid on schedule, invoices go out, debtors get chased and reports arrive without being asked for, the way an in-house finance department would work.
You do, always. We prepare and schedule; nothing leaves your bank without your explicit approval. Most clients approve payment runs weekly in a few minutes.
Typically well below the cost of one full-time accounts executive once CPF, leave and turnover risk are counted, and you get a team with maker-checker controls rather than one person.
The documented procedures become your operations manual and we run a structured handover. Graduating to an in-house team is a normal, healthy outcome.
Yes. We quote a one-time clean-up to bring the ledgers current, then move to the monthly rhythm. Most starts happen exactly this way.
Your own Xero or QuickBooks subscription plus the tools connected to it. Everything stays visible to you in real time, and the data remains yours.
