Monthly Bookkeeping Services

Monthly bookkeeping keeps your records ready for GST returns, management decisions and the year end. Each month we:

  • Record your sales, purchases and expenses from invoices, receipts and bank feeds
  • Reconcile every bank and payment account
  • Track what customers owe you and what you owe suppliers
  • Prepare a profit and loss statement and balance sheet you can review each month
  • Keep records that explain every transaction, as the Companies Act requires

Our Pricing

Our accounting fees start from S$200 per month for monthly bookkeeping. The final fee depends on your transaction volume, the number of bank and payment accounts, whether you are GST registered, and the condition of your source documents. We also run quarterly, half-yearly and annual cycles, which are quoted separately because the work arrives in fewer, larger batches. Whether you need basic bookkeeping or full-scope finance management, our packages are modular and scale with you, from SMEs to large MNCs.

Send us one recent month of statements and we will give you a fixed fee before any work starts. For a full breakdown of what accounting costs in Singapore, read our accounting price guide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outsourcing Accounting Services

Monthly bookkeeping covers recording sales, purchases and expenses, reconciling every bank and payment account, tracking what customers owe you and what you owe suppliers, and a profit and loss statement and balance sheet you can review each month.

Monthly bookkeeping suits most active companies, because GST returns, ECI and management decisions all depend on up-to-date numbers. Companies with few transactions can choose quarterly, half-yearly or annual cycles, which we quote separately. Whatever the cycle, the Companies Act requires records that explain every transaction, kept for at least five years.

Yes. If your company needs an audit, our statutory audit services take the year end through to the signed report: we close the books, prepare the schedules and draft financial statements, schedule the audit with your appointed auditors and answer their queries.

Yes. Start-ups and small companies often outsource because they need clean monthly books, GST filing and year-end statements without hiring an in-house accountant. Monthly bookkeeping starts from S$200 per month, and quarterly, half-yearly or annual cycles are quoted separately for companies with fewer transactions.

Our services are modular and flexible. You can choose to outsource specific functions, such as monthly bookkeeping, payroll, tax compliance, or financial reporting, depending on your current business needs. As your operations grow, you can easily scale up to a more comprehensive package. We offer flexible engagement models with no long-term commitment required.
