Accounting, tax, statutory filings, payroll and deadlines, looked after by one dedicated local team that understands your business.

Bookkeeping, financial reporting, consolidation and XBRL, on Xero or QuickBooks. Or your existing software.

Incorporation to strike-off: filings, resolutions and deadlines met without chasing.

Corporate tax computation, Form C-S and Form C filing and IRAS queries handled as part of the plan.
1
A free consultation, we listen first, then map exactly what your company needs (and what it does not).
2
Clean handover, cloud setup, every deadline diarised. You will know what happens and when, from day one.
3
Monthly numbers arrive without asking. Questions answered within a day. Compliance simply handled.
Why businesses in Singapore stay with us
The people who do your books answer your messages. No queue, no re-explaining your business every quarter.
Agreed before work starts and unchanged until your business changes. Surprise invoices poison trust, so we do not send them.
Your numbers live securely in a cloud software (Xero or QuickBooks), visible and accessible to you at all times. Have your own software? We can adopt too.
ACRA, IRAS, CPF and GST dates sit in our calendar with reminders that reach you early. Nothing slips because nobody was looking.
Industries
Having served over 600 Micro, Small and Medium businesses in Singapore for more than a decade, our team have developed deep expertise in a wide range of industries.
Retail, e-commerce, F&B, chain-store groups, medical & dental clinics, early childhood and education accounting.
Wholesale, import & export, B2B, engineering services, manufacturing, agencies, investment vehicles, property holdings accounting.
Religious organisations, societies and associations accounting.

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 30-minute chat, no obligations. WhatsApp us or book a slot, we reply within one working day.
