Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Singapore
We turn months (or years) of backlog into clean, tax-ready financials. Delivered to SFRS for Singaporean businesses, priced in 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.
Whether you're 3 months or 24 months behind, our catch-up team reconstructs your books period by period, reconciles every account, and hands you statements you can file and raise on. It's the fastest way to go from chaos to clarity — and the most common on-ramp to a monthly retainer.
The deadlines we track against your ledger.
| Obligation | Frequency | Due | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|

Last reviewed against the source . These are the standard dates. Extensions through a registered agent, a non-calendar year end, and volume-based filing frequencies all shift them — confirm your own dates with IRAS. This is general information, not tax advice.
