Every question answered in one place.

Most SMEs pay a fixed monthly fee based on transaction volume, so there are no surprise bills. We quote precisely after a free consultation, and the fee only changes when your business does.

No surprise bills!

Yes. We handle the handover directly, records, ledgers and filings, and most transitions complete within a month without disruption to your operations.

Every Singapore company must appoint a corporate secretary within six months of incorporation, regardless of size. We act as named secretary registered on ACRA and keep your statutory registers and filings current.

Both are excellent. The right choice depends on your industry, volume and integrations, as certified partners of both, we will recommend the one that fits and set it up for you.

We also adopt and adapt existing software if you already have one running!

The main ones: Estimated Chargeable Income within 3 months of financial year end, corporate tax Form C-S or Form C by 30 November, annual return to ACRA within 7 months of year end, GST returns one month after each quarter, and CPF by the 14th of the following month. We diarise all of them for every client so nothing depends on memory.

A private company files its annual return within 7 months after its financial year end. Filing late attracts penalties and can affect officers, so we lodge it well before the deadline as part of our corporate secretarial work.

Registration is compulsory once taxable turnover exceeds S$1 million over the past 12 months or is expected to within the next 12. Voluntary registration below the threshold is possible and sometimes advantageous. We monitor your run rate and advise before the line is crossed.

Most SMEs do not. A company is audit-exempt as a small company if it meets 2 of 3 criteria for the past 2 years:

 - revenue up to S$10 million
 - assets up to S$10 million
 - up to 50 employees.

Group rules apply if you have subsidiaries, and we assess this for you.

Almost always yes. Accpac, Sage, SAP, MYOB and other enterprise level tools are some of the software we work with too.

We are certified on Xero and QuickBooks and work with common POS, inventory and payroll tools. If your current setup fights you, we recommend and handle a migration.

Typically within one to two weeks. We collect records from you or your previous accountant, set up or tidy the software, and agree the monthly rhythm. Backlogs are cleared in parallel so the switch never waits on history.

A named team. The people you meet are the people who do the work and answer your messages, and they stay with your account rather than rotating.

Ian & Son refers to the Ian & Son network and/or one or more of its member firms, each of which is a separate legal entity. Contact us to learn more about the structure.

We are based in central Singapore and work with clients across the island. Most day-to-day contact happens over WhatsApp, email and video call, with meetings when they genuinely help.

The practice is a Xero Gold Partner with Level 1 and Level 2 certified professionals and accredited Migration Specialists, and we are QuickBooks ProAdvisors. Certification is maintained, not historical.

From first incorporation to multi-entity groups. The common thread is an owner who wants the administrative side handled properly without building an internal finance department.

Three reasons repeat: responsiveness, readable reporting and predictable fees. Most arrivals follow a season of unanswered emails somewhere else.

Yes. Client records live in access-controlled cloud systems, staff sign confidentiality undertakings, and we never discuss client affairs with third parties without written consent. Confidentiality survives the engagement ending.

You do, wherever possible. The Xero or QuickBooks subscription sits in your name so your data is always yours, even if you ever leave us. We simply hold advisor access.

Your named team is our own staff and your books are handled under Singapore standards. We do not pass client work to third-party overseas processors.

Enough to stay sharp and few enough to know each business personally. The person who answers your message is the person who does the work, which is the entire point of our model.

Within one working day and usually much sooner. WhatsApp gets the quickest response because we monitor it through the day.

Nothing formal. Your company name and a rough sense of where the books stand is plenty. If records are messy or missing, say so; that is normal and fixable.

Yes. We handle the handover directly with your previous accountant, collect the records and pick up from wherever they stopped.

Yes. Thirty minutes, free, with no obligation to engage us afterwards. If we are not the right fit we will say so and point you somewhere sensible.

A subject matter expert reads it the same working day and replies with either an answer or a suggested time for a short call. No autoresponders and no ticket numbers.

Yes. For established engagements we are happy to meet at your premises where that is easier, and video calls cover most routine matters.

Yes, if your situation calls for one. Our standard engagement already carries strict confidentiality terms that cover everything you share.

After a short conversation about volume and scope, you receive a fixed monthly fee in writing. The quote lists exactly what is included, and it changes only when your business changes.

No. Many clients start with one service, often bookkeeping or corporate secretarial, and add more when it makes sense. Everything is priced separately and clearly.

We quote a fee based on your transaction volume and the services you need. It stays the same every month and only changes when your business does.

Yes. We are certified partners of both Xero and QuickBooks, and we can also migrate you from spreadsheets or legacy systems as part of onboarding.

Most SMEs pay a fixed monthly fee scoped to transaction volume, typically starting from a few hundred dollars for straightforward books. You get an exact written quote after a short conversation, and it changes only when your business does.

Monthly suits businesses that watch cash, margins or outlets closely, while quarterly can be enough for holding companies and very small operations. The GST cycle often decides it, since GST-registered businesses need quarter-end accuracy anyway.

Bank statements arrive by feed, so mostly sales reports, supplier invoices and receipts, uploaded by photo or email as they happen. Most clients spend under half an hour a month sending us things.

Yes, catch-up work is routine for us. We reconstruct from bank records and whatever documents survive, file the overdue returns, and then move you onto a normal monthly rhythm.

Yes. Monthly or quarterly you receive profit and loss, balance sheet, cash position and receivables aging, in plain English with the numbers that matter flagged.

Most SMEs report under SFRS for Small Entities, which simplifies disclosures. Larger or group companies use full SFRS. We apply the framework that fits your size and your stakeholders.

Yes. Foreign currency invoices, bank accounts and revaluations are set up properly in Xero or QuickBooks so exchange differences are tracked rather than discovered at year end.

XBRL is the structured format ACRA requires for financial statements from most companies that file them. Exemptions exist for some small and solvent exempt private companies. We prepare and validate the filing where it applies.

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.

You get a whole team with senior review, cover during leave, and software expertise for less than one junior salary. Nothing depends on a single person remembering things.

Yes. Many clients keep invoicing in-house while we handle everything after the invoice. The split is written into the scope so nothing falls between us.

Routine questions within one working day, month-end reports on an agreed date each month, and urgent items flagged as such get same-day attention.

Better than before. Reports come in plain English with a short commentary, and we walk you through anything unclear. The goal is a business owner who reads their own numbers confidently.

No. Historical balances and open items are migrated and reconciled before we switch over, and comparative figures survive so year-on-year reports still work.

We advise on the right subscription tier for your volume and features, and as partners we often have access to partner pricing. You never pay for capacity you do not use.

Xero and QuickBooks hold stronger security certifications than any office server, with bank-level encryption, two-factor authentication and full audit trails on every change.

Yes, both platforms handle Singapore GST natively. We configure the tax codes correctly at setup so quarterly filing becomes a report rather than a reconstruction.

The subscription, data and history are yours. We believe that is exactly why clients stay: because they are free to go.

A typical SME migration completes within two to four weeks, including historical data, training and one parallel month where we verify the new books against the old.

Both are excellent for Singapore SMEs. Xero tends to suit service businesses and heavy bank-feed use, QuickBooks often suits inventory-led operations. We are certified on both and recommend based on your workflows, not our preference.

A typical migration completes within two to four weeks including opening balances, contact lists and unreconciled items, timed around a month end so cutover is tidy.

Balances and open items always. Full transaction history can often be brought over or preserved read-only in the old system, and we advise what is worth the effort.

Xero and QuickBooks run bank-grade encryption with two-factor authentication, and access is permissioned per user. It is considerably safer than spreadsheets on a laptop.

Yes. Every company must prepare financial statements that comply with SFRS even when no audit is required. Audit exemption removes the auditor, not the statements.

A formal set of financial statements compiled by a professional accountant for an audit-exempt company, commonly requested by banks and government agencies as a mark of reliability.

Yes. We prepare the statements and supporting schedules and answer the auditor's queries directly, which typically shortens the audit and its fee.

With clean books, a standard set is usually ready within two weeks. Backlogged or complex cases take longer and we quote the timeline honestly before starting.

Yes, consolidation is a dedicated service. See our consolidated financial statements page for how group reporting works.

Audit-exempt small companies can file unaudited statements prepared under SFRS. Banks and grants sometimes ask for more, and we prepare what your stakeholders actually require.

Directors statement, profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flows, equity movements and notes under the applicable SFRS framework. We prepare the complete pack ready for filing or audit.

Yes. We prepare the audit schedules, answer queries and manage the back-and-forth so the audit costs less of your time and often less in fees.

From clean books, days rather than weeks. If the books need work first we quote the catch-up honestly and sequence it so the bank gets its pack as fast as the records allow.

Broadly, when your company controls one or more subsidiaries and no exemption applies. Common for investment holding and multi-outlet structures. We assess your specific position before quoting.

No. We map each entity's trial balance into a common consolidation format regardless of the software it runs on.

Transactions between group companies, loans, management fees, internal sales, must be removed so the group statements show only dealings with the outside world. Clean inter-company records make this routine.

Yes. Many groups give us the whole stack: entity-level books, the group consolidation and XBRL for every company. One team, one calendar, no finger-pointing between firms.

The small-company audit exemption applies at group level too: the group as a whole must meet the size criteria. We check this early because it changes the timeline.

A Singapore parent generally prepares consolidated statements unless exemptions apply, such as qualifying intermediate holding companies. We assess your structure against the actual criteria.

They are reconciled and eliminated on consolidation. We keep a schedule through the year so year-end elimination is mechanical rather than archaeological.

Yes. Foreign currency statements are translated under SFRS rules with differences taken to the translation reserve, and we work from your overseas accountants' trial balances.

They remain part of the group picture unless disposed of, though their effort is minimal. Sometimes striking off a dormant entity is the cheaper answer, and we will say so.

It depends on solvency, size and shareholder structure. We check your position against the current ACRA requirements and prepare the correct format.

Yes. We take over rejected or error-laden filings, correct the mapping and re-validate until ACRA accepts. This is a fixed-fee rescue, not an hourly meter.

Straightforward sets are usually ready within three working days of receiving the financial statements. Urgent annual-return deadlines can be accommodated. Tell us the date and we will be honest about feasibility.

Usually not. The signed financial statements and your ACRA entity profile are enough for us to map, validate and file.

No, the XBRL financial statements are attached as part of the annual return lodgement. We handle both together so nothing falls between two stools.

Solvent exempt private companies generally file only a declaration instead of full XBRL, and some categories file simplified XBRL. We confirm your exact obligation before any work is quoted.

Smaller and non-publicly-accountable companies may file the simplified template with fewer data elements; others file full XBRL. The distinction follows ACRA criteria we apply for you.

BizFinx rejections come from mapping or data errors. We validate before submission, so failures are resolved on our desk rather than after a rejected filing.

Yes. We regularly convert externally prepared financial statements into validated XBRL, quoted as a one-off piece of work.

A flat 17% on chargeable income, before exemptions. The partial exemption reduces the effective rate substantially for most SMEs, and qualifying new companies enjoy startup exemptions in their first three years of assessment.

Estimated Chargeable Income is filed within 3 months of year end unless your company qualifies for the filing waiver, and the Form C-S or C return is due by 30 November. Payment follows the notice of assessment, with instalment plans available on GIRO.

Form C-S is the simplified return for companies with revenue up to S$5 million meeting specific conditions, and C-S Lite simplifies further for revenue up to S$200,000. Form C is the full return with financial statements and computation attached. We file whichever applies.

Yes if it qualifies for the waiver: annual revenue of S$5 million or less and nil ECI. We check the conditions each year rather than assume.

Common culprits: private car expenses, fines and penalties, capital expenditure claimed as expense instead of allowances, and certain provisions. The computation adds these back, and we tell you which recurring items cost you deductions.

Trade losses and capital allowances can generally be carried forward against future income subject to shareholding continuity tests, carried back one year within limits, or transferred within a qualifying group. Which route is best depends on where profits sit.

Unusual margins, large one-off claims, related-party transactions and persistent losses attract attention. Clean documentation answers most queries in one letter, which is why our computations come with schedules already prepared.

Yes. IRAS treats unprompted disclosure far more gently than discovery. We quantify the issue, prepare the disclosure and manage it to closure.

Claim every exemption and allowance you already qualify for, time capital purchases before year end where sensible, structure remuneration deliberately and use losses properly. Legitimate planning is about completeness and timing, not schemes.

Yes when properly approved and commercially justifiable. Timing of approval matters for when the deduction lands, and we manage the resolutions with our corporate secretarial team.

Carried-forward losses and allowances survive only if substantially the same shareholders hold the company at the relevant dates. Share transfers can silently destroy them, so we check before any restructuring.

Foreign-sourced income is generally taxed when remitted to Singapore, with exemptions for qualifying dividends, branch profits and service income. Whether to remit and when is a planning decision we model with you.

Yes. Queries come to us first, we draft the response with supporting schedules and you approve before anything is sent.

By 30 November each year for the preceding year of assessment, filed electronically. We lodge well ahead so nothing rides on portal traffic in the final week.

IRAS imposes penalties and can raise an estimated assessment which you then must displace. Persistent non-filing escalates to summonses. A maintained calendar makes this academic.

Yes, through an objection or amendment within prescribed timelines. We prepare the revised computation and manage the correspondence.

Estimated Chargeable Income is an early estimate of your taxable profit filed within 3 months of year end unless waived. Filing early starts instalment plans earlier, which spreads the cash impact.

An objection must be filed within 2 months of the notice. We review the assessment, quantify the difference and lodge the objection with grounds.

The tax substitute for depreciation on qualifying plant and machinery, claimable over one to three years or the asset's prescribed life. Timing elections change your tax cash flow, and we choose them deliberately.

Qualifying renovation and refurbishment expenditure is deductible over three years within a cap. Design fees and certain works are excluded, so the split matters and we document it.

Qualifying donations to IPCs attract an enhanced deduction, currently 250%. Only IPC-receipted gifts count, and we reconcile claims to receipts.

Private vehicle costs, personal portions of mixed expenses, fines and capital items. We flag recurring add-backs so you can restructure them where legitimate alternatives exist.

Yes. Some accountants outsource just the computation and filing to us, quoted as standalone work.

When taxable turnover exceeds S$1 million over the past 12 months, or when you expect it to within the next 12. The application deadline after crossing is tight, and late registration can mean accounting for GST you never collected.

If your customers are mostly GST-registered businesses and your input costs carry GST, often yes. If you sell to consumers, registration effectively raises your prices. We model your actual mix before advising.

Quarterly for most businesses, due one month after each quarter end, with payment by the same date on GIRO or earlier otherwise.

The prevailing rate is 9%. Zero-rating applies to exports and certain international services with the right documentation, and some supplies are exempt.

Corrections go through Form F7, and IRAS treats voluntary correction far better than discovery in an audit. We quantify, correct and tighten the process that caused it.

Yes. When turnover falls or a business winds down we assess the position, handle the final return including deemed supplies, and deregister cleanly.

Singapore-incorporated companies in a 75% ordinary shareholding relationship, directly or through another Singapore company, meeting the profit and asset entitlement tests, with the same financial year end.

Current-year unutilised trade losses, capital allowances and donations. Brought-forward amounts stay with the company that incurred them.

Yes, transferor and claimant must share the same accounting year end for the relevant year. Aligning year ends is often the first practical step, and we manage the change.

Frequently yes. Even one loss-making entity beside one profitable one can save five figures in a year. The check costs little because the computations are being prepared anyway.

No. Companies claiming or surrendering group relief file Form C. We handle the form implications as part of the claim.

The common ones for SMEs: interest, royalties and software licences, service fees for work performed in Singapore, equipment rental and non-resident director fees. Pure offshore services generally do not, but the facts decide and we classify each payment type once.

Interest is commonly 15% and royalties 10% before treaty relief, services attract the prevailing corporate rate and non-resident director remuneration a higher final rate. Treaties often reduce these, which is exactly the analysis we run per payment.

File and pay by the 15th of the second month following the date of payment to the non-resident. Late filing attracts penalties on top of the tax.

Yes, Singapore's treaty network frequently lowers rates on interest and royalties, sometimes to zero. Relief requires the recipient's certificate of residence, which we obtain and file properly.

A voluntary disclosure cleans it up at far lower cost than discovery. We quantify the exposure, file the disclosure and negotiate instalments where needed.

Yes. Every company must appoint a secretary within 6 months of incorporation, and the position cannot be vacant for more than 6 months. The secretary must be a Singapore resident.

Maintains the statutory registers, prepares resolutions and minutes, files with ACRA on time, and keeps directors informed of their obligations. Done well it is invisible; done badly it produces penalties.

A fixed annual or monthly fee depending on how active your company is with changes and resolutions. The quote is in writing before we start and includes the routine annual filings.

Yes. Singapore allows full foreign ownership. You need at least one locally resident director, and we can advise on structures that satisfy this properly.

Private companies can be exempt from holding AGMs if financial statements are sent to members within 5 months of year end and no member requests one. We manage the timeline either way.

Yes, at any time. We handle the takeover including collecting registers and filing the change with ACRA. Your compliance calendar does not miss a beat.

Statutory registers including the register of registrable controllers, minutes and resolutions, and accounting records for at least 5 years. We maintain the registers and tell you exactly what to retain.

ACRA imposes late lodgement penalties on the company and enforcement can extend to officers for repeated breaches. IRAS separately penalises late tax filings. A maintained compliance calendar makes the whole question academic.

With documents in order, a standard Pte Ltd is usually registered within one to two working days. Name approval is often same-day unless the name requires referral to a relevant authority for further approval.

Identification for directors and shareholders, the intended business activity, a registered address and the share structure. We guide you through each item in one short call.

Yes, with at least one Singapore-resident director. We advise on nominee arrangements and the work pass routes that let a founder eventually take the director role themselves.

A corporate secretary within six months, a registered office, statutory registers from day one, and a financial year end that sets your filing calendar. Our first-year calendar lays all of it out.

No, but you need a registered address that can receive official mail. A home address or a registered-office service both work; we help you weigh them.

The ACRA fees are fixed and modest; the real variable is what surrounds them. We quote one package price covering registration, constitution, first resolutions and the secretary appointment, so there is no drip pricing.

A company name, at least one shareholder, one locally resident director, a Singapore registered address, a secretary within 6 months and paid-up capital from as little as S$1. We assemble all of it with you.

A company gives limited liability, a 17% corporate rate with startup exemptions, and easier banking and hiring. Sole proprietorships are simpler but expose personal assets. We advise on your actual numbers.

Qualifying new companies get significant exemptions on their first S$200,000 of chargeable income for the first 3 years of assessment, subject to conditions. We structure the first years to use them properly.

At minimum: AGM or written resolutions within six months of FYE, annual return within seven months, ECI within three months, and the tax return by 30 November. GST-registered businesses add quarterly filings.

A statutory register of the individuals or entities that ultimately own or control the company, generally those above 25 percent ownership or control. It must be kept current and lodged with ACRA.

We regularise it: compute the penalties, prepare the outstanding filings and bring the record clean, then keep it that way. Late is fixable; ignored is what becomes expensive.

Yes. Dormant companies still file annual returns and tax returns, though simplified. If the company has genuinely finished its purpose, a clean strike-off often costs less than years of dormant compliance.

The directors, personally. A good secretary keeps directors out of that firing line, which is precisely the service.

Yes. Multi-entity groups get one consolidated compliance calendar so every company's dates are visible in one place.

At minimum: financial statements prepared, annual return to ACRA within 7 months of year end, ECI within 3 months unless waived, and Form C-S or C by 30 November. GST and payroll filings run through the year alongside.

We do the filings. Reminders only reach you when we need a signature or a decision. The deadline risk sits with our calendar, not your inbox.

We assess the arrears, file the overdue returns, and where reasonable apply for penalty remission with a clean-up plan. Regulators respond well to honest catch-ups.

Around four to six months from application, including ACRA's gazette periods, provided the company is clean when we apply.

Outstanding taxes, employee obligations and creditor claims. The bank account is normally closed before applying, and final accounts prepared up to cessation.

Strike-off suits dormant companies with nothing left to distribute. If there are assets for shareholders or any complexity, a members' voluntary winding up is the correct route.

Yes, within six years by court order, which is also why directors should keep the company's records for five years after closure.

The filings kept falling due, so penalties have likely accrued. We compute the position, regularise the record and then close it properly, which almost always costs less than leaving it.

Striking off suits solvent dormant companies with no disputes: cheap and administrative. Winding up is a formal liquidation for more complex or insolvent situations. We advise which applies and run the strike-off end to end.

Outstanding filings, tax matters closed with IRAS, GST deregistration if applicable, bank accounts emptied and closed, and assets distributed. We run the checklist so nothing blocks the application.

CPF contributions are due by the 14th of the following month. Late payment attracts interest and possible composition, so our payroll runs are timed to never test the deadline.

Employers must provide employees their IR8A by 1 March each year, and companies under the Auto-Inclusion Scheme submit electronically to IRAS by the same date. We prepare and file them as part of payroll.

A fixed fee per headcount per month covering payslips, CPF submission and statutory filings. The written quote states it exactly, and it scales with your team size.

Yes. The Employment Act requires itemised payslips with prescribed details for covered employees. Ours are generated automatically with every run.

SDL is a small monthly levy on all employees on top of CPF, capped per employee. It is easy to miss, so we compute and pay it within the payroll cycle.

Encashed leave is employment income and taxable to the employee, and it appears in the IR8A. We compute it correctly at resignation or year end.

Yes. Levy payments run with payroll, and we flag quota positions when your hiring plans approach the limits for your sector.

The employer must file IR21 and withhold monies owed, generally at least one month before the employee leaves Singapore. We prepare it as soon as you tell us a departure is coming.

A few working days before payday. We agree a monthly calendar so the run never rushes and your approval never happens at midnight.

Commission schemes, shift allowances, overtime at Employment Act rates and pro-rated months are standard fare. We encode your rules once and apply them consistently.

Contributions are due by the end of the month and payable by the fourteenth of the following month before penalties apply. Our calendar files well inside the window.

Yes. Itemised payslips are required for all employees, and for pass holders we track work pass conditions and levies alongside.

Yes, through the employee self-service portal if you take the HRMS, or by secure individual delivery if you do not.

The calendar we agree handles it: files are prepared early so salaries land on the working day you choose, consistently.

Yes. Small payrolls benefit most from outsourcing because the compliance burden is identical at any size. Per-headcount pricing keeps it proportionate.

They are wages for CPF purposes with ordinary and additional wage ceilings applied. We compute the split correctly so contributions are neither over nor under paid.

Employee records and payslip details for prescribed periods under the Employment Act, plus CPF and tax filings. Our system keeps the archive audit-ready.

Yes, through a self-service portal with payslips, leave balances and IR8A forms, which removes most month-end HR questions.

Employee income information must reach IRAS by 1 March each year. AIS employers submit electronically and the data pre-fills employees' returns.

Employers with five or more employees, or those IRAS has notified. Smaller employers can join voluntarily, and we generally recommend it.

Generally at least one month before a foreign employee ceases employment or leaves Singapore, with final salary withheld until IRAS issues clearance.

The employer becomes liable for the employee's outstanding tax. This is the single most expensive payroll mistake we see, and the easiest to prevent.

File immediately: penalties grow with delay. We prepare late submissions and correspond with IRAS on your behalf to contain the damage.

Yes, through Appendix 8A: housing, cars, insurance premiums and similar benefits all carry taxable values that must be computed and reported. We handle the valuations.

All employees employed in Singapore during the year including directors, part-timers and those who resigned. Auto-Inclusion submission goes to IRAS electronically where the scheme applies.

Housing, car benefits, share schemes and certain reimbursements have prescribed valuation rules and appendices. We compute and attach the right forms so employees are taxed correctly.

When a non-citizen employee ceases employment or leaves Singapore for more than 3 months, generally filed at least one month before departure with monies withheld until clearance.

Amendment submissions correct the record with IRAS. We prepare them quickly and inform the affected employee so their assessment is right.

We are vendor-neutral. Headcount, shift patterns, budget and integrations drive the choice, and several pre-approved options carry PSG support for qualifying SMEs.

A typical SME setup runs two to four weeks including data migration, workflow setup and staff training.

Yes. Approved leave and claims flow straight into the monthly payroll run, which is half the value of the system.

The tools we deploy are consumer-simple and mobile-first, and we run short onboarding sessions. Adoption problems are almost always training problems, so we do the training.

Yes, systems with rostering and clock-in modules exist for exactly that. F&B and retail teams are a common deployment for us.

Cloud platforms suited to Singapore SMEs with local CPF and leave rules built in, such as Talenox, Payboy and HReasily. We recommend from your workflows and integrate with your accounting software.

Typically 2 to 4 weeks: setup, data migration, parallel run and go-live, timed to switch cleanly at a month boundary.

Yes. Payroll journals post automatically to Xero or QuickBooks so headcount cost lands in the books without re-keying.

Reputable platforms encrypt data and control access per role, aligned with PDPA obligations. We configure permissions so people see only what their role needs.

Salary benchmarks plus the COMPASS points framework: qualifications, diversity and local employment support all count. We pre-score candidates before you commit to a hire.

EPs are typically processed within a few weeks; work permits are usually faster. Appeals take longer, which is why the first application matters most.

Timely notifications of changes, levy payments where applicable, salary consistency with the application, and IR21 tax clearance when the employee eventually leaves.

We review the rejection grounds, strengthen the case, salary, role definition, supporting documents, and appeal where the case is genuinely arguable. Sometimes the honest advice is a different pass type.

For S Passes and work permits, yes: your local workforce size sets the ceiling. We map the quota position before you recruit so the plan is real.

The Employment Pass covers professionals meeting a salary and qualifications bar, while the S Pass covers mid-skilled roles with its own salary floor, quota and levy. We assess the realistic route before any application.

The points framework EP applications must pass, scoring salary, qualifications, workforce diversity and local employment. We pre-score your candidate so surprises happen before filing rather than after.

Yes. Renewals are diarised well ahead of expiry, and cancellations run alongside IR21 tax clearance when someone leaves.

Eligible pass holders can sponsor Dependant Passes or LTVPs subject to salary thresholds. We include family applications in the same process.

Access is per-employee with role-based controls, and sensitive data stays inside the HRMS platform under PDPA-compliant handling. Access is logged.

Self-service is a module of the HRMS. Light plans exist for teams that only want payslips and leave, and can grow into the full system later.

Yes, approvals work from the mobile app, which is where most of them happen in practice.

Portals support personal-email or mobile-number logins, which covers shift and field staff cleanly.

For an existing HRMS client, days. Standalone light deployments typically run one to two weeks including staff onboarding.

View payslips, apply for leave, submit claims with photos, download IR8A forms and update their own details, all from a phone.

Substantially. Leave approvals, claims and payslip questions stop flowing through one overloaded person and the records file themselves.

Yes. Approvers, backups and multi-step flows are configured to mirror how your teams actually report.

Access is deactivated on their last day while their records remain properly archived for the retention period.

Usually when hiring a full finance team is premature but the founder is still doing the invoices at midnight. Outsourcing gives you the function without the headcount, and without the single point of failure a lone hire creates.

No. You keep approval rights and full visibility in the cloud systems. We do the processing work inside agreed service levels, and everything we do is documented.

By scope and volume, quoted after the mapping sessions and fixed monthly thereafter. The parallel-run month is charged at the same rate so there is no incentive for us to rush the handover.

Where your project qualifies for schemes such as the Productivity Solutions Grant, we point it out and prepare the paperwork as part of the engagement. Eligibility depends on your entity and the specific solution.

Then the documentation becomes your operations manual and we hand over in a structured way. Several clients have graduated exactly like that. It is a good outcome, not a failure of the engagement.

Bookkeeping records what happened. Finance operations outsourcing also runs the processes around it: invoicing, payments, collections, claims and approvals. You keep the decisions, we run the machinery.

Below roughly one full-time finance workload, outsourcing usually wins: no hiring risk, no leave gaps, senior review included. When daily on-site presence starts to matter, we help you hire and hand over.

We provide controller-level review, cash forecasting and board-ready reporting on a scheduled basis. For strategic fundraising work we tell you honestly whether you need a dedicated CFO instead.

Grant schemes for SME digitalisation exist and change over time, with pre-approved solutions and conditions. We point you to what currently applies and handle the accounting side of any claim.

We document your current process, run it in parallel for a cycle, then take it over fully with agreed turnaround times. Nothing is switched off until the new rhythm is proven.

Yes. Scope is reviewed whenever your business changes, and the fee moves with it in writing. No lock-ins beyond the notice period.

We document your current process, agree service levels, and run parallel for one cycle before taking over fully. Nothing switches until the parallel month reconciles.

Total. Everything lives in your cloud systems and you see the same screens we do, in real time.

Yes. Scope flexes with volume and fees adjust transparently with it, reviewed quarterly.

We do, on a cadence and tone you approve. Reminder sequences are agreed upfront so collections stay effective without bruising customer relationships.

Turnaround times for invoice processing, payment-run preparation and query responses are written into the engagement and reported against monthly.

The running of your finance processes: invoicing, payables, receivables chasing, claims, payments preparation and reporting, under agreed turnaround times, with your approvals kept in your hands.

No. We prepare, you approve. Bank authorisation stays with your signatories and every payment run comes with a summary you can scan in a minute.

With documented processes and a parallel-run transition. Everything we operate is written down, so your hire inherits a manual rather than a mystery.

Repeatable, rules-based work with clear inputs and outputs. We assess suitability honestly before quoting, and we decline scopes that will not survive outsourcing.

Documented procedures, four-eye checks on defined steps and monthly SLA reporting. Quality is engineered into the process, not inspected in afterwards.

By our team in Singapore, inside your systems. Your data does not leave your environment.

By volume bands agreed upfront, reviewed quarterly. Predictable for you, honest for us.

Usually they are freed for higher-value work rather than replaced: the queue of admin was the problem, not the people. We are happy to design the scope around your team.

Accounts payable, receivables chasing, claims processing and payroll, because they are rhythmic, rule-based and painful to staff for. We take the rhythm and leave you the judgment calls.

Documented procedures, maker-checker review and monthly service reporting. Errors get root-caused, not just fixed.

If a process eats hours weekly and follows rules, yes. The scope is sized to your volume, and small firms often benefit first because every hour matters more.

Fixed monthly per process and volume band, reviewed when volumes shift. No hourly meters.

That is exactly who this service is for. We choose proven tools and explain them in plain English, and we stay for the training.

Yes. A clean professional site with your domain and email, typically delivered within weeks, often bundled with incorporation for new companies.

The Productivity Solutions Grant supports many pre-approved solutions; eligibility depends on your entity and the solution. We check before you spend, not after.

No commissions that would tilt the advice. Our fee comes from you, so the recommendation serves you.

Usually yes. Most modern platforms integrate natively or through middleware, and removing double entry is typically the highest-return project we do.

Choosing and wiring together the accounting, payroll, HR, POS and inventory tools so data flows without re-keying. Less software, fewer subscriptions, cleaner books.

Usually yes, either natively or through middleware, so daily sales post automatically. Where no integration exists we design a light manual bridge that takes minutes.

From your workflows and staff reality, not vendor commissions. We shortlist, demo with your actual scenarios and let the fit decide.

Scoped fixed fees by project size, quoted in writing after a short diagnostic. Many SME integrations are smaller projects than owners fear.

Fees are fixed monthly and based on transaction volume. After a short look at your records we quote precisely. No hourly billing and no surprises: the fee only changes when your business does.

Yes. Backlog clean-ups are one of the most common ways clients join us. We reconstruct the ledgers, reconcile the bank and bring filings current before switching to a normal monthly rhythm. The clean-up is quoted as a one-time project so your monthly fee stays predictable.

Most SMEs qualify as a small company and are audit-exempt: any two of revenue at or under S$10m, assets at or under S$10m, or 50 or fewer employees, held for two consecutive years. We assess your position and prepare everything your auditor needs if an audit does apply.

Whichever fits your business. We are certified partners of both. Xero tends to suit service businesses and multi-entity groups; QuickBooks is often stronger for inventory-heavy operations. We recommend after seeing how you actually work.

On a standard calendar your management pack arrives within two weeks of month end, assuming bank feeds and documents flow normally. Clients who need faster closes can have them: it is a matter of agreeing the document rhythm.

Less than you expect. Professional handovers between accountants are routine: we request the records directly, reconcile what we receive and flag any gaps before they become your problem. Most switches complete within a month.

We prepare the year-end schedules and financial statements your tax filing is built on, and we coordinate directly with your tax agent. Where we act as your tax agent too, ECI and Form C-S deadlines are diarised alongside everything else.

Yes. Every Singapore company must appoint one within six months of incorporation regardless of size, and the position cannot be left vacant for more than six months. The secretary must be a Singapore resident.

No. A sole director cannot also act as the company secretary. This is one of the most common reasons single-founder companies engage an external secretary like us.

ACRA imposes late-filing penalties that increase with delay, and persistent default can lead to prosecution of directors or strike-off of the company. If you are already late, we compute what is owed, file the outstanding returns and bring the record clean.

A statutory register of the individuals or entities that ultimately own or control the company, typically those holding more than 25 percent of shares or voting rights. Companies must keep it current and lodge it with ACRA. We maintain it as part of the engagement.

Usually not. Private companies can dispense with AGMs by passing written resolutions, provided financial statements are circulated within the required timeline. We prepare the resolutions so the formality is handled without a meeting.

Yes. The change is a simple filing and we coordinate the handover of registers and records directly with the outgoing secretary. Your only involvement is signing the appointment papers.

A fixed fee per employee per month covering computation, payslips, CPF submission and standard reporting. Year-end IR8A preparation is included. Headcount changes simply adjust the fee.

Payroll data is held in access-controlled systems and handled under our PDPA obligations. Only your assigned team can view it, and access is logged.

Yes. CPF for citizens and PRs, work pass conditions and levies for foreign staff, and IR21 tax clearance when a pass holder leaves. Mixed workforces are the norm among our clients.

Commission schemes, shift allowances, overtime at Employment Act rates and pro-rated months are all standard fare. We encode your rules once and apply them consistently every month.

Contributions for a month are due by the last day of that month and must be paid by the fourteenth of the following month before penalties apply. Our calendar submits well inside the window.

Yes. The monthly payroll journal posts into your Xero or QuickBooks file automatically, so the books agree with the payslips without anyone retyping figures.

Yes. Platforms net off fees before paying you; we rebuild the gross picture per channel so margins and GST are correct. This is daily work for us across Shopee, Lazada, Amazon and delivery apps.

Daily sales reports reconcile to banking-in and float counts on a fixed rhythm, so discrepancies surface in days rather than at year end.

Yes. Panel schemes, insurance and CHAS claims each settle differently. We structure the books so every revenue stream reconciles to its statement.

Outlet-level reporting is our standard format for multi-location clients, with a consolidated group view on top.

Once taxable turnover exceeds S$1 million registration is compulsory, and marketplace sales count. We monitor the threshold and handle registration before it becomes a problem.

Any that export data, and most modern systems integrate directly with Xero or QuickBooks. We set up the feed as part of onboarding.

Daily sales capture with weekly reconciliation is the sweet spot for most. The point is catching till and platform discrepancies while they are days old, not months.

Fixed fees are scoped to your realistic annual pattern, so December does not generate a surprise invoice. The team simply absorbs the seasonality.

Yes. Brands or outlets are tracked as segments so each shows its own performance inside one legal entity, or across several.

Sales per outlet or channel, gross margin, stock turns, staff cost ratios and cash cover, chosen with you and kept consistent month to month.

Yes. We work with common Singapore POS and payment providers and reconcile gross sales, fees and settlement lags so the bank always matches the till.

Vouchers, refunds and exchanges each have specific GST treatment. We set the rules once in your accounting system and the treatment stays consistent.

Yes. Sales, staff costs and rent are tagged by outlet so the monthly report shows each location on its own line.

Cost of sales is tracked against purchases and periodic counts. Shrinkage and slow-moving stock appear in the report instead of hiding in year-end surprises.

A fixed monthly fee scoped to transaction volume and outlet count. It changes only when your business does.

Common Singapore retail systems including Qashier, StoreHub, Shopify POS and EPOS, reconciled to the bank through their settlement reports.

Weekly reconciliation of POS totals against banked amounts, with variances flagged while staff rosters still make investigation possible.

Yes. They are liabilities until redeemed, tracked so outstanding balances are known and GST hits at the right moment.

Yes. Consignment stock stays off your balance sheet until sold with commission flows booked correctly for both sides.

All major ones in Singapore including Shopee, Lazada, Amazon, Qoo10, Shopify, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop, plus Stripe and PayPal gateways.

We book gross sales and each fee type separately rather than just recording the net deposit, so margins and GST are correct and you can compare channels fairly.

Exports are generally zero-rated with the right documentation. We set the tax codes per channel and destination so it happens automatically.

Yes. We integrate common inventory tools with Xero or QuickBooks, or run a clean periodic method if you prefer to keep it simple.

Generally when taxable turnover passes S$1 million, with some nuances for imported services and low-value goods. We monitor your run rate and flag it before the threshold arrives.

Yes. TikTok Shop settlements reconcile the same way as other marketplaces: gross orders, less each fee type, to the net deposit, every cycle.

As revenue reversals with the matching fee adjustments, netted correctly for GST, so sales figures reflect what you actually kept.

Inventory in fulfilment centres abroad stays on your books with location tracking, and cross-border movements get the right GST and customs treatment.

The reconciliation itself surfaces overcharges and missing settlements, giving you the evidence trail platforms respond to.

Yes, daily-takings businesses are a specialty. POS feeds, cash floats and platform payouts each get their own reconciliation rhythm, so nothing drifts for long.

You account for GST on the gross sale, not the net payout, and the platform commission is your expense. Getting this wrong is the most common F&B GST error we correct.

Outlet P&L is our standard format for multi-outlet clients, with the group view on top. Weak outlets become visible in months, not years.

Yes, including production costing and the inter-company charging between the kitchen entity and outlets that keeps both management numbers and tax clean.

Service charge distribution, shift-based payroll, part-timers and CPF are all handled within our payroll service, integrated with the books.

Yes, from entity structure and POS setup through to the outlet appearing as its own P&L from the first day of trading.

Service charge is revenue with GST implications and its distribution to staff is wages with CPF consequences. We set the flow up correctly once and it stays clean.

Yes. Inter-outlet transfers are priced on a documented basis so outlet margins are honest and the kitchen entity is neither a hidden profit nor a hidden loss.

Most F&B concepts target food costs between the high twenties and mid thirties as a percentage of sales, varying by format. What matters is tracking yours weekly against your own target.

Platform commissions are generally taxable supplies to you with input tax claimable when registered. We book gross sales and fees separately so both GST directions are right.

Yes. Multi-entity groups are routine for us. Each company gets clean books and the group gets one consolidated view.

Per entity with scoped volume, agreed in advance. Groups typically save because the entities share one team and one method.

Yes. We set the inter-company basis with you once, document it, and apply it every month so both management truth and tax positions hold.

Not necessarily. Small company audit exemption applies per entity and group thresholds matter. We assess your structure and tell you exactly which entities need what.

Yes, we consolidate Singapore groups with regional subsidiaries and handle the currency translation involved.

They can but should not. We align year ends across the group where possible, which simplifies consolidation, audit thresholds and tax.

Franchise fees, royalties and marketing fund contributions each have specific revenue or expense treatments. We keep franchisor and franchisee flows clean and separate.

Group-level thresholds: a small group must meet 2 of the 3 small-company criteria on a consolidated basis. Adding outlets can tip the group over, and we monitor the trajectory.

Yes, on a documented allocation basis, so outlet profitability is honest and inter-company charges withstand tax scrutiny.

Yes. We reconcile submitted claims against remittances by scheme, so unpaid or rejected claims are chased while they are fresh.

Many medical services are standard-rated with specific exceptions, and clinic retail sales differ again. We set the treatment per revenue type and keep it consistent.

Yes. Locum arrangements have specific CPF and tax treatments depending on engagement terms. We set them up properly and run them monthly.

Shared-practice structures need clear expense and drawing rules. We set the framework so year-end is smooth and both parties see fair numbers.

A fixed monthly fee scoped to claim volume and headcount, agreed before we start.

Consultation, procedures and medicine sales are tracked as separate revenue lines, which sharpens margins and keeps GST treatment per line correct.

Yes. Fee-sharing and cost-sharing arrangements are modelled in the books so each practitioner sees a fair, documented position.

Most clinical equipment qualifies, sometimes with accelerated claims available. We time significant purchases with the tax computation in mind.

Yes. Daily summaries from systems like Plato and Clinic Assist feed the books, so the front desk never double-enters anything.

Spread over the period the classes are delivered. We set deferred revenue up in your software so it happens automatically each month.

Yes. Subsidy payouts are matched against enrolment and fee records each cycle so shortfalls are caught and queried early.

As liabilities until they are refunded or applied, never as income. We track them by child so refunds are painless.

Private education services are generally standard-rated once you are GST registered. We confirm the treatment for your licence type and set it consistently.

It depends on your structure and licensing requirements. We assess and prepare audited or unaudited statements accordingly.

Packages are deferred and recognised as sessions are delivered, so revenue matches teaching, and unredeemed sessions are visible as a liability.

Refundable portions are settled from the deferred balance and any forfeiture is recognised per your terms. The books already know the number.

Generally no for private operators; approved institutions differ. We confirm your specific status rather than assume.

We reconcile funding disbursements against enrolment and prepare the financial reporting that funded operators must maintain.

Yes. Foreign purchases, sales and revaluations are routine for our trading clients, with month-end rates applied consistently and exchange differences correctly split.

The true cost of goods including freight, insurance and duties. Without it, gross margin is overstated and pricing decisions are made on fiction. We build it into inventory costing.

Yes. Holding companies prepare financial statements, file annual returns and tax returns like any other company, and often need consolidation and XBRL as well.

Yes, one team across the entities is precisely the point: consistent policies, one compliance calendar, no gaps between firms.

Exports are generally zero-rated with documentation requirements to match. We keep the paperwork discipline so the zero-rating survives an IRAS review.

Yes. Engineering and services contracts are recognised over time on a measurable basis, so months are comparable and no cliff appears at completion.

Invoices, bank accounts and revaluations run natively in the software with realised and unrealised differences reported separately each month.

We track the financial side of sector permits and flag renewals that carry fees or conditions, and we work alongside your industry consultants where regulation is technical.

Yes. Freight, duty and insurance are allocated to stock so product margins reflect what goods truly cost to bring in.

A weekly aged receivables report with credit terms flagged, so your team chases the right accounts before they become bad debts.

We reconcile your counts against the books and investigate variances. Physical counting stays with your team; the analysis is ours.

Exports are zero-rated with the right documentation kept. We set the codes and remind you what paperwork each shipment needs.

A fixed monthly fee scoped to document volume, agreed before we begin.

Yes. Insured receivables, premiums and claims are tracked so cover matches exposure and claims get made in time.

Supplier rebates accrue as earned against the related purchases, not when the cheque arrives, so margins by period stay honest.

Yes. Multi-location inventory keeps each warehouse honest and makes shrinkage location-specific instead of a mystery.

Yes. Goods on consignment remain your stock until sold through, with retailer statements reconciled monthly.

Yes. We account for MES imports correctly and keep the records that scheme audits expect.

Yes. Xero and QuickBooks multi-currency are set up properly from day one including bank feeds in foreign currencies.

Where needed, yes, mainly to get cost documents flowing monthly instead of at year end.

TradeNet is Singapore's trade permit system. We reconcile permit data and duties against supplier and freight invoices so landed costs are complete.

Import GST paid at the border is claimable as input tax for registered traders with the right permits kept. Schemes like MES remove the cash outlay for qualifying importers.

We track the duty savings FTA certificates produce and keep the cost records that origin audits may request.

Ownership terms decide whether in-transit stock is yours at the cutoff. We apply the incoterms so year-end stock and payables are right.

Yes. Revenue and direct costs are tagged by client and project so the report ranks accounts by real margin.

Over the service period rather than on invoice date, so months are comparable and renewals are priced on truth.

Certain payments to non-residents attract withholding tax. We identify which of yours do and file the S45 forms on time.

As recoverable disbursements rather than revenue and cost, unless your contracts make you principal. We check the terms and book it correctly for both margin and GST.

Agency volume bonuses accrue as earned with client-share obligations recognised, keeping both margin and client trust intact.

Yes. Payroll cost against client revenue by team shows recovery rates, which is the number that actually prices your retainers.

Over time based on progress, not when invoices happen to be raised. We set a measurable basis and apply it consistently.

Yes. Retentions are recorded per contract with their release dates so the money is claimed when due instead of forgotten.

Generally on the earlier of payment certificate or payment for progressive supplies. We time the tax points correctly.

Plant and machinery attract capital allowances including enhanced options in some years. We claim the most favourable treatment available.

Yes. Input against output per run or period, with variances flagged for the operations team.

Where your system exports data, yes. Otherwise we design a light monthly capture that does not burden the floor.

Yes. Materials, direct labour and allocated overhead divide over output so unit economics are known per product and period.

Yes. Landed cost to destination including freight and duties feeds export price decisions per market.

Only certain expenses are deductible for investment holding companies and only against matching income. We classify them correctly through the year.

Yes. Listed positions are marked to market and unquoted investments carried under the appropriate standard with the notes done properly.

Yes. We prepare final accounts and support the strike-off through our corporate secretarial team.

It depends on your constitution and size; many societies need at least an examined statement presented at the AGM. We advise on your specific duties and prepare what the constitution requires.

Each restricted or designated fund is tracked separately from general funds, so every dollar can be traced from receipt to use. That trail is exactly what donors and regulators ask for.

Gladly. We do the heavy lifting; the treasurer stays informed and in control, and handovers between committees stop being a crisis.

Annual submissions to the Commissioner of Charities including financial statements and governance disclosures, with requirements scaling by size and IPC status. We keep the calendar and prepare the pack.

No, only donations to organisations with IPC status attract tax deductions, and IPC status carries its own compliance conditions. We help you understand and maintain the obligations.

Yes, from the initial registration through the first chart of accounts and compliance calendar, so good habits start on day one.

Registered charities generally apply the Charities Accounting Standard or FRS depending on their circumstances. We prepare accounts in the framework your regulator expects.

Each restricted or designated fund is tracked and disclosed separately from general funds, so trustees can see exactly what is spendable.
