Frequently Asked Questions
What is outsourced accounting?
Engaging an external firm to handle your bookkeeping, financial reporting, GST filing and related compliance. It suits SMEs that want professional support without an in-house accounting team.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping records day-to-day transactions, such as receipts, invoices and bank reconciliations. Accounting uses those records to prepare financial statements under SFRS and to support tax filing. We handle both.
What does a monthly bookkeeping service include?
Recording sales and purchases, reconciling bank accounts, processing payroll journals and keeping receipts in order every month, so you always have an up-to-date profit and loss statement and balance sheet.
How long must my company keep its accounting records?
At least five years, under both the Companies Act and IRAS rules.
When must my company register for GST?
When its taxable turnover exceeded S$1 million in the past calendar year, or is expected to exceed S$1 million in the next 12 months. The application must be made within 30 days of becoming liable. Companies below the threshold can register voluntarily.
How much do accounting services cost?
It depends on your transaction volume and how often you need reports. Tell us about your business and we will confirm the fee before any work begins.
