Accounting Services for Small Businesses in Singapore
Everything your small business needs to keep clean books, in one fixed monthly fee. Bookkeeping, financial statements, payroll and management reporting, handled remotely by a Financial Controller with 15+ years of experience.
What does a small business accounting service include?
A small business accounting service in Singapore typically covers monthly bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, SFRS-compliant financial statements, payroll with CPF, and management reporting. Bundled into one fee, they keep your records accurate and your statutory accounts ready, without you touching a spreadsheet.
The point of a service, rather than software, is that a qualified person does the work and takes responsibility for it. You hand over your invoices, receipts and bank statements, and you get back clean books, accurate filings and reports you can actually read.
Our service covers monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation, SFRS-compliant unaudited financial statements, accounts payable and receivable, monthly payroll with CPF and itemised payslips, and clear management reports.
*All under one fixed monthly fee
How much do accounting services for a small business cost in Singapore?
Monthly bookkeeping for a Singapore SME usually costs S$90 to S$300, while a full managed package covering bookkeeping, statements and tax runs from S$300 to S$800 a month with most providers. The figure depends mainly on your transaction volume, whether you're GST-registered, and how often your books are done.
Most firms hide what actually moves you between tiers. Ours doesn't. Your fee tracks your real monthly transaction count and the services you need, so you never subsidise features you'll never use.

What drives the price of an accounting service?
Four factors set your fee: monthly transaction volume, GST registration status, payroll headcount, and bookkeeping frequency (annual, monthly or weekly). A low-volume sole proprietor pays far less than a GST-registered company processing hundreds of invoices a month.

Accounting software or an accounting service: which do you need?
Software like Xero gives you the tools, but you or someone you hire still has to do the bookkeeping and filing. A service does the work for you. If accounting is eating your time or you're unsure your filings are correct, a service is the safer choice; if you have the time and the know-how, software alone can work.
Many SMEs buy software, fall behind, then pay extra at year-end for clean-up. A managed service avoids that by keeping the books current every month, with the software cost already included.
Should you outsource your accounting or keep it in-house?
For most Singapore small businesses, outsourcing is the cheaper and safer option. A full-time accountant costs salary plus CPF, benefits and software, often more than S$3,000 a month, and outsourcing can save 70 to 85% of that while still giving you qualified expertise and continuity.
Hire in-house and you carry the salary, CPF, leave and software, plus the risk if that person leaves or makes a mistake.
Outsource and you get a fixed fee, a dedicated accountant, compliant software, and a service that scales with you.

How do you avoid paying for accounting services you don't need?
Ask three questions before signing: what exactly is included at this price, what bumps me into the next tier, and what sits outside the scope. The firms worth hiring answer all three plainly. If a provider will not show you what changes the fee, that is your warning sign.
We price on your actual transaction count and the services you actually need. No locked tiers, no surprise add-ons at year-end, no paying for weekly bookkeeping when monthly is enough.
How does the service work month to month?
Each month you send us your invoices, receipts and bank statements (or connect your bank to Xero). We reconcile and post everything, prepare your management reports, and handle any filing due that period. You review, approve, and get back to running your business.
