🇸🇬 Singapore · SFRS

Accounting & CFO services for Singapore businesses.

Singapore pairs ACRA statutory filing with IRAS tax and XBRL financials. We keep your SFRS books clean and prepare ECI, GST and Form C-S on schedule. Singapore sits outside our published rate card, so the price comes back in writing within 24 hours.

Every service in Singapore

What we deliver for Singaporean businesses.

Thirteen services across three teams, each described for Singapore specifically rather than in general. Compliance is deliberately a separate team from bookkeeping, so liability and pricing stay clean.

Bookkeeping Team

Bookkeeping in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

Singapore companies answer to two regulators from the same ledger — IRAS for GST and tax, ACRA for the annual return and XBRL financials. We keep Xero coded to SFRS so year-end XBRL tagging is a mapping exercise rather than a rebuild, and so GST at 9% is tracked against the S$1 million registration threshold before you cross it rather than after.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

In Singapore a backlog stalls three filings at once. ECI is due within three months of financial year end and is usually already missed by the time we are called; the ACRA annual return follows within seven months, and Form C-S or Form C on 30 November. We rebuild the Xero file to SFRS so all three can be prepared from the same closed period.

Accounting Cleanup in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

A Singapore cleanup has to satisfy two regulators at once. Books that reconcile perfectly for GST can still fail SFRS presentation, and XBRL tagging exposes it the moment the ACRA filing is prepared. We fix the underlying classification first, reconcile GST back to the F5 returns already filed, and restate so the annual return and the tax computation come off one closed set of accounts.

Payroll in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

Singapore payroll is straightforward until CPF. Contributions for citizens and permanent residents are due by the 14th of the following month at rates that step with age, while employees on work passes sit outside CPF entirely. We run Talenox or Xero Payroll, split the population correctly at setup, and reconcile CPF to the ledger every month.

Controller in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

A Singapore controller closes to SFRS knowing the output has to be XBRL-taggable for ACRA and defensible to IRAS. ECI within three months of year end forces an early view of taxable profit, so the close cannot slip without consequence. We own the close calendar, reconcile GST to the filed F5 returns, and produce accounts both filings can be built from.

Virtual CFO in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

Singapore forces an early tax view: ECI is due within three months of financial year end, long before Form C-S or Form C on 30 November. A virtual CFO builds the taxable profit estimate ECI depends on, models the GST cash cycle against the S$1 million threshold, and produces board reporting to SFRS that holds up in a funding conversation.

Tax Preparation in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

Singapore runs two tax filings a year. ECI is due within three months of financial year end, and Form C-S or Form C on 30 November. The ACRA annual return sits alongside them, within seven months of year end, with XBRL financials attached. We prepare the tax computation, the SFRS statements and the XBRL tagging from a single closed period.

Sales Tax · VAT · GST in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

Singapore GST is 9%, and registration becomes compulsory once taxable turnover passes S$1 million in a calendar year — or once you expect it to. The F5 return is due one month after the accounting period. Growing companies are most often caught by that forward-looking test, so we track turnover against the threshold rather than reporting it after the crossing.

White-Label Accounting in Singapore

Quoted in 24 hours · SGD

Singapore firms run GST F5 on one calendar and ECI on another, both feeding an ACRA annual return that needs SFRS accounts tagged in XBRL. We work inside your Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB environment, reconcile GST to the ledger, and structure accounts so XBRL tagging is a mapping exercise rather than a rebuild. Your firm keeps the filings and the statutory company secretary role the Companies Act requires — we never occupy either.

What this costs in practice

A worked example, in your currency.

A Singapore holding company with regional subsidiaries, 1,900 transactions a month, GST-registered.

In-house accountant (fully loaded, per month)
$7,100
Salt bookkeeping + GST and consolidation
$2,400
Monthly saving
$4,700

Figures in SGD. Regional holding structures usually need consolidation and intercompany reconciliation on top of statutory filing.

What a Singaporean finance hire costs you.

Priced per engagement

Singapore sits outside the published rate card, so the price comes from the file rather than a tier — a written quote in SGD within 24 hours of us seeing it. The full card is published for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Built for the Singaporean pain points we hear most: ACRA + IRAS dual obligations · XBRL filing requirements · GST registration thresholds.

Standards and authorities

The framework your Singapore accounts are held to.

We prepare to Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS), IFRS-aligned. These are the bodies that set that framework and the authorities you file with — linked so you can verify the standard rather than take our word for it.

Listed for reference. Salt Accounting Group is not stating membership, registration or affiliation with any of these organisations. Where a filing must be lodged by a registered local agent, it is — your agent keeps the lodgement and the professional sign-off.
