FAQ

  • How does accounting work?

    Accounting tracks all your business activities and assets. Any time you spend, lose or make money, your bookkeeper adds it to the books. Your accountant then builds reports using these numbers. The government requests these reports to calculate how much tax you owe and whether you are exempted from some of it.

  • Why is accounting important?

    First of all, you have an obligation to report your accounts to the government: that’s how your tax is calculated. Second, accounting is crucial for internal planning and management. Mistakes could be costly: the government punishes wrong reports with fines. Not to mention, you probably base your evaluations and plans on the same numbers. So, making sure your accounting is accurate is crucial.

  • What are the accounting standards in Singapore?

    Singapore has its own system called Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS). It’s similar to IFRS and it’s accrual-based accounting. Which means transactions are recognised when they take place and not when the money is paid. Outsourced accounting services in Singapore must comply with SFRS requirements.

  • Can I switch from another accounting firm to Osome?

    Absolutely. We make the transition seamless on your end. We’ll get in touch directly with your current accounting service provider, take over all your financial documents, and audit them to make sure your company is compliant. We check necessary reports. We offer up ongoing advice about relevant tax exemptions, helping you be smarter with your taxes. Now that your accounting is in good hands, you can focus on what you do best: running your business.

  • What accounting services do you have for small businesses?

    We help small businesses in Singapore with all necessary accounting services. We prepare financial statements, ECI tax reports, XBRL (full and highlights) and handle bookkeeping. We can apply for GST registration and submit regular reports for GST-registered companies. If your case is special, let us know and our specialists will be happy to help with accounting for your company.

  • In what form should I submit my data?

    Osome is an online accounting company. Send us your records in whichever format you have them. Drop your files in our app, store them in a cloud or email to our experts — we’ll take care of the rest.

  • What do I have to report to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS)?

    All companies are required to submit two corporate income tax returns annually — Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) within three months from financial year end and Corporate Income Tax Return (Form C/C-S) by 30th November or 15th December if via e-filing. Unless qualifying conditions are met for ECI waiver or company has been granted Waiver of Income Tax Return Submission by IRAS.

  • How does your accounting software work?

    We have developed our own software. We recognise invoices and receipts, reconcile them with transactions, and update your documents and outstanding bank balance daily. We support single and multiple currencies, show actual list of all unpaid invoices and report to you if anything document is missing.

  • How is income assessed to tax?

    Tax is assessed on income earned in the preceding financial year. For example, a tax return for the Year of Assessment (YA) 2019 would be to declare the income earned during the financial year 2018. This tax return is to be submitted by 30th Nov 2019 / e-filed by 15th Dec 2019.

  • What is the price of accounting services?

    There are several types of accounting services in Singapore. Some of the common ones are tax preparation and consultation, along with tracking expenses and revenues. Apart from this, recordkeeping services include billing, taxes, bank reconciliations, general ledger and payroll records. Some bookkeepers also generate financial statements for review.

    For those seeking cheap accounting services in Singapore, you can use the below figures as a benchmark:

    • Company incorporation services cost about SGD850, per annum, at a minimum
    • Accounting and bookkeeping costs around SGD600 per annum
    • For corporate secretary services, the average minimum fee is SGD350
    • Corporate taxation services typically start at SGD400 per annum
    • Payroll services cost roughly SGD15 per employee
  • How to outsource accounting services in Singapore?

    When it comes to outsourcing, you need to look for an accounting services provider in Singapore. They usually offer accounts receivables and payables management, bookkeeping, financial statements and reporting, controller services, financial planning and analysis, cost accounting, forensic accounting and tax reporting and filing.

    What’s more, small business entrepreneurs or new foreign investors may require specific accounting services in Singapore. These include GST computation and conversion of financial statements to XBRL (extensible business language) format. Also, generally, most companies incorporated in Singapore and branches of foreign companies (apart from exempt companies) are mandated to prepare annual financial accounts and company financial reports according to the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS). And if you are not up-to-date with these regulations, you will need to opt for outsourced services.

    Since the year 2011, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) has established the Financial Reporting Surveillance Programme (FRSP). With this, a selected pool of your company’s financial statements is reviewed to determine if they comply with the SFRS. It is important to note that Singapore is moving towards adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Accordingly, the preparation of the financial accounts in XBRL format is challenging for those unfamiliar with filing. In this case, it is best to consult a qualified professional from an experienced accounting firm.

  • How does pricing work?

    Our pricing is revenue based. We don’t charge on the number of transactions in your account or the number of invoices you upload. All prices are based on the financial year, not the calendar one.
