After registering your company in Singapore and increasing the number of employees in your company, you may want to hire talent from overseas.

If you’re wondering what the difference between an S Pass and an Employment Pass is, the answer is a few things, in fact. Though similar, there are some fundamental differences between these two types of work visas.

Most founders delay switching bookkeepers not out of neglect, but out of uncertainty. They wait for timing, bandwidth, or stability — but in doing so, they let friction compound quietly beneath growth. The longer the wait, the harder it becomes to gain back control and clarity. We unpack the most common founder mind blocks behind delay and reframe them as opportunities to build leverage.

In Singapore’s fast-growing healthcare sector, the cost of “good enough” bookkeeping is catching up. With subsidies, reimbursements, and audits becoming increasingly complex, founders are realising that generic bookkeeping can quietly erode visibility and compliance. Healthcare startups are now switching to domain-aware partners who understand claims cycles, grants, and data integrity — not as an administrative upgrade, but as a growth necessity.

It’s 11 PM, and you’re scrolling through invoices trying to make sense of numbers that should already be clear. You fire off another email to your accountant — one of many this month — and hope for a quick response. Sound familiar? Many startups outgrow their bookkeeping providers long before they realise it. What once worked smoothly at an early stage can quietly become a bottleneck as your business grows.

Here’s how you recognise the early signs, understand their impact, and understand if it’s time to re-evaluate your bookkeeping partner.

Most founders dread switching bookkeeping providers. It’s easy to imagine days of operational limbo — lost transaction history, retraining staff, mounting admin. The idea of “switching” often feels like pressing pause on your business.

But that perception is shifting fast. Increasingly, founders are treating switching as a deliberate upgrade to their operational backbone — not a reaction to crises. Instead of waiting for pain to pile up, they’re making the move as part of a structured growth strategy.

Singapore, 5 November 2025 – Osome, an AI-enabled business management platform, has been recognised in the Enterprise Fintechcategory of the inaugural Singapore’s Top Fintech Companies 2026, an honours list of companies committed to excellence, innovation, and overall impact in the Fintech industry.

Online banking is now the default way SMEs in Singapore manage money – from opening an account to paying suppliers and reconciling cash flow – all through secure web and mobile platforms. If you’re wondering what is online banking and whether it’s safe, the short answer is yes: regulated providers use encryption, multi-factor authentication, and real-time monitoring to protect your business.

Dubai, UAE, 11 October 2025 – Osome, the AI-enabled business management platform trusted by over 30,000 entrepreneurs globally, today announced its official entry into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the opening of its office in Dubai. The move underscores Osome’s twin priorities: helping founders reduce financial and administrative burdens and building a collaborative ecosystem of partners in the Middle East.

Across Asia’s financial hubs, the shift to technology-enabled business models is taking different forms. In Singapore, 94.6% of SMEs have already adopted at least one digital solution, showing near-universal digitalisation. In Hong Kong, the city has advanced through smartification with more than 1,300 projects implemented across 50 industries in the Greater Bay Area.

Within this backdrop, Osome’s independent research shows a consistent pattern: founders and SMEs using digital-first providers like Osome report significantly higher satisfaction and advocacy compared to those relying on traditional accounting firms.

HONG KONG and SINGAPORE, 17 September 2025 – Osome, a digital business solutions provider, recently commissioned surveys in Singapore and Hong Kong, which indicate that founders and SMEs using their services report higher satisfaction and advocacy compared to those using traditional accounting firms. This aligns with the trend of digitalisation, as Singapore saw 94.6% of SMEs adopting at least one digital solution, and Hong Kong drove over 1,300 smartification projects across 50 industries in the Greater Bay Area.
