About accountantforsmallbusiness.com
One qualified accountant, not a faceless firm. I keep small business books clean and current, so you always know where your numbers stand.
Who is behind accountantforsmallbusiness.com?
The service is run by Mehdi Javed, a Financial Controller with more than 15 years in accounting and finance. He works directly with each client, so the person who keeps your books is the same person who knows your business, not a rotating call centre or an anonymous assigned clerk.
Most accounting firms hide behind 'our team'. You sign up, hand over your records, and never quite know who is doing the work. This service is the opposite. You deal with one named, qualified accountant from the first call onward.

*One accountant. Your accountant.
Experience across
What are Mehdi's qualifications and track record?
Mehdi holds an Executive MBA in Accounting and Finance from the University of Karachi and has spent 15+ years running finance operations for SMEs and logistics businesses across Pakistan, the UAE and the United States. His work has delivered measurable results, including a 28% faster financial close and 10% cost reduction through better process and reporting.
As Financial Controller at Sealine Services, he leads month-end close, reporting, reconciliations, budgeting and audit readiness for a busy freight and customs operation.
Across Sealine Services USA, ARS Logistic Services, Al Rais FZC, Al Awan Transport and Rags2000, he has designed accounting systems, built AP/AR and payroll workflows, and managed multi-currency books for US and UAE businesses.
He works hands-on in QuickBooks Online and Xero, and has 5+ years supporting US-based businesses remotely, so distance has never been a barrier to accurate books.
How does a remote accountant work for a Singapore business?
It works exactly like an in-house accountant, just delivered over the cloud. Mehdi is based in Karachi and serves Singapore small businesses remotely through Xero and QuickBooks Online. You connect your bank and share records online, he keeps the books current, and you get reports and statements without anyone needing to be in the same room.
Cloud accounting removed the need for a local desk years ago. Your data lives in Xero or QuickBooks, reconciliation happens online, and you review everything from wherever you are.
Being remote is also why the fees are lower. There's no Singapore office overhead to pass on to you, so you get experienced, qualified work at a price an in-house hire could never match.
No office overhead
Lower fees because there is no Singapore desk to maintain

*Clean books = your tax agent files accurately and on time
What do you do, and what do you leave to a tax agent?
Mehdi handles the accounting: bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, financial statements, payroll with CPF, accounts payable and receivable, and monthly management reporting. He does not file your GST or corporate tax. Those are filed by your licensed Singapore tax agent, and clean, ready books are exactly what lets them file accurately and on time.
This boundary is deliberate and honest. Singapore tax and GST filing needs local licensing and registration. So the setup is simple. Mehdi keeps your books tax-ready, and your tax agent files them. You get the best of both, without paying one provider to do work outside their lane.
Why should a small business trust you with their books?
Because you get a named, qualified Financial Controller who has done this for 15+ years, works in your software, and tells you plainly what he does and doesn't do. No hidden tiers, no faceless team, no overclaiming. Just accurate books from someone who treats your numbers the way he treats his own clients' across three countries.
