How does the pricing work?
Our accounting packages for SME businesses and more are based on an annual subscription model according to the Financial Year. We offer transparent pricing determined by the number of transactions or expenses in a month. No hidden cost!
What is a transaction?
A transaction refers to an accounting journal entry passed to record a business transaction – sale, purchase, receipt, payment etc. It includes:
- a bank transaction i.e. a deposit or withdrawal
- a non-bank transaction i.e. a sale or purchase that is on credit term, an accrual for expense, a receipt paid on behalf by the business owner to be reimbursed on a later date
- a year-end adjustment
What is an expense?
An expense refers to a cost incurred in the business to generate revenue. The total expenses are netted off from revenue to arrive at the net profit. It includes, but not limited to, the following:
- an expense resulting in an outflow of cash i.e. cost of goods sold, marketing expense, rent, employees compensation (salary, bonus, CPF), utilities etc.
- a non-cash expense i.e. depreciation, amortisation, impairment, unrealised gains/losses etc.
What accounting software do you use?
We use Xero, an online accounting software made for small and medium businesses. Xero is a cloud-based software so you can access your up-to-date financial information wherever you are and make timely business decisions.
We are a certified Xero advisor and a Xero partner. With our modern, fast-paced society, every industry evolves and so should accounting firms.

To affirm our commitment to be your trusted business partner in Singapore, we provide free xero software subscriptions to clients that take up our monthly accounting packages.

By outsourcing the essential but time-consuming accounting tasks, you would benefit from lower cost for your business, and your staff could better use their time to focus on high-value work such as analysing reports and core business growth activities.
What is XBRL? Is my company required to file XBRL?
XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language. It is a format implemented internationally for financial reporting, which gives greater transparency as data can be analysed almost immediately with software tools.
Currently all companies incorporated in Singapore are required to file annual financial statements with ACRA in the XBRL format as part of the Annual Return filing, except for companies that meet the exemption criteria i.e. exempt private companies (EPC) that are solvent, companies limited by guarantee etc.
The revised XBRL filing requirements would take effect from 1 May 2021. Would my company be affected?
Companies are required to apply the revised filing requirements with effect from 1 May 2021. For private limited companies that meet the definition of smaller and non-publicly accountable companies, you may file the financial statements in Simplified XBRL template instead of the Full XBRL template.
A smaller company refers to a company with revenue not more than S$500,000 and total assets not more than S$500,000 in the Financial Year covered by the financial statements. A non-publicly accountable company refers to a company that is not listed or in the process of listing on securities exchange in Singapore, not listed on an exchange outside of Singapore and not a financial institutions.
Do I need to register my company for GST?
There are two scenarios where a company would register for GST:
- Compulsory Registration – when your taxable turnover is more than S$1 million in the past calendar year or your estimated turnover in the next 12 months is more than S$1 million
- Voluntary Registration – You choose to register your company for GST voluntarily even though your taxable turnover is less than S$1 million.
