Accurate books are the foundation of every tax return, every banking relationship and every business decision. CompanyVista provides monthly bookkeeping, management accounts and annual statutory accounts for companies in 50+ countries — using Xero, QuickBooks and Zoho Books. Singapore and Hong Kong audit coordination included where mandatory.
These three services are distinct — you may need one, two or all three depending on your jurisdiction, company activity and business stage. CompanyVista advises on exactly what is required and quotes for each level separately.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, every Private Limited company must have its annual financial statements audited by a registered Singapore public accountant. There is no small company exemption — unlike the UK, Australia and many other jurisdictions. Every Pte Ltd, regardless of turnover, balance sheet size or number of employees, must be audited every year.
Under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, every Private Limited company must have its annual financial statements audited by a Hong Kong registered Certified Public Accountant (CPA). There is no small company audit exemption in Hong Kong — all companies are subject to the audit requirement regardless of size.
CompanyVista works with all major cloud accounting platforms. If you already use a platform, we work with it. If you are starting fresh, we recommend and set up the right platform for your jurisdiction, transaction volume and reporting needs. Your data always belongs to you — access remains with you throughout and after the engagement.
CompanyVista assesses your company's jurisdiction, transaction volume, number of bank accounts, payment platforms (Stripe, PayPal, Airwallex etc.), whether you have employees or payroll, and whether annual audit is required (Singapore and Hong Kong). We confirm the scope of service — bookkeeping only, management accounts, annual statutory accounts — and the appropriate accounting software. Free, no commitment.
⏱ Free consultation — typically 30 minutesAccounting and bookkeeping are priced on a monthly retainer based on transaction volume, number of accounts and services required. The retainer is confirmed in a written quote before any payment. Annual accounts and audit coordination are priced separately. All costs stated upfront — no surprise invoices at year-end for "additional work" that was always in scope.
⏱ Written quote within 4 hours of consultationCompanyVista sets up your accounting software with the correct chart of accounts for your jurisdiction and business type — including VAT/GST tax codes, bank feeds connected and opening balances entered. If you have existing books, we review and clean up any historical issues before commencing the monthly cycle. You are given access to your own software from day one.
⏱ 3–5 business days — onboarding and setupEach month: bank transactions are imported via direct feed, coded and reconciled. Sales invoices and purchase invoices are matched and posted. Payroll entries are recorded. Any unusual items are queried with you via WhatsApp before being coded. A trial balance is produced and reviewed. Typically completed within 10 business days of the month close. You receive a notification when the month is done.
⏱ Monthly — completed within 10 business days of month-endManagement accounts — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — are prepared from the reconciled bookkeeping and delivered in your preferred format (PDF, Excel, in-software). Variance analysis against the prior period or budget is included where a budget has been set. Commentary on key movements is provided. Delivered within 15 business days of month-end.
⏱ Within 15 business days of month-end (if management accounts included)At year-end, CompanyVista prepares the statutory annual financial statements formatted per the relevant local standard (UK GAAP, Singapore FRS, HKFRS, IFRS). For Singapore and Hong Kong companies, audit is coordinated with our registered local auditor partners — we prepare the accounts and supporting schedules, the auditor conducts the audit independently, and the signed accounts are filed with ACRA, Companies Registry or the relevant authority within the statutory deadline.
⏱ Annual — statutory accounts filed within jurisdiction deadlineIf you have companies in multiple jurisdictions — a US LLC, a UK LTD and a Singapore Pte Ltd — CompanyVista handles bookkeeping and accounts for all of them through one team, one portal and one invoice. No coordinating with separate accountants in each country. Consolidated management accounts across all entities available on request.
CompanyVista's founder holds CPA, EA (Enrolled Agent) and CAA (Certified Acceptance Agent) credentials. Our team advises on accounting standards, tax positions and reporting requirements across jurisdictions — not just data entry. The difference between a bookkeeping service and a genuine accounting advisory.
Every jurisdiction has filing deadlines for annual accounts — Companies House (UK), ACRA (Singapore), Companies Registry (HK). Missed deadlines result in penalties, director liability and in some jurisdictions, striking off. CompanyVista tracks every statutory deadline in your compliance calendar and begins annual accounts preparation well before the due date.
Singapore and Hong Kong audits are mandatory for every company — CompanyVista coordinates with our registered auditor partners, prepares the audit-ready accounts and supporting schedules, and manages the audit timeline to ensure signed accounts are filed before the statutory deadline. No last-minute rush.
CompanyVista works in Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Sage and Wave. Direct bank feeds minimise errors. You retain access to your own accounting software and your own financial data throughout and after the engagement. No proprietary lock-in. No data migration headaches if you change providers.
Bookkeeping flows directly into VAT/GST return preparation, corporate tax return preparation and compliance filings — all handled by the same CompanyVista team. No sending data from your accountant to your tax agent to your compliance manager. One team handles the full chain — books → tax return → filed.

CompanyVista provides professional bookkeeping, management accounts and annual statutory accounts for companies in 50+ countries — including the UK (Companies House filing, UK GAAP, MTD-compliant VAT returns), Singapore (ACRA annual accounts, mandatory audit coordination by registered Singapore public accountant, Singapore FRS), Hong Kong (Companies Registry annual accounts, mandatory audit by registered HK CPA, HKFRS), USA (federal and state tax returns, US GAAP), UAE (corporate tax returns to FTA, IFRS), Australia (ATO returns, AASB standards) and more. Monthly bookkeeping is performed using Xero, QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books, Sage or Wave with direct bank feeds.

Two jurisdictions require mandatory annual audit for every company — Singapore and Hong Kong — with no small company exemption. Singapore Pte Ltds must be audited annually by a registered Singapore public accountant (typically SGD 2,000–8,000+). Hong Kong Private Limited companies must be audited annually by a Hong Kong registered CPA (typically HKD 8,000–25,000+). This is a significant ongoing cost that founders must budget for when choosing these jurisdictions. CompanyVista coordinates mandatory audits with registered local auditor partners — this is a Misc Charge passed through at exact cost. By contrast, UK small companies are exempt from audit (2 of 3 thresholds: turnover < GBP 10.2M, assets < GBP 5.1M, staff < 50). UAE free zone companies are generally not required to audit (DIFC and ADGM are exceptions). BVI and Cayman offshore companies have no mandatory audit requirement.
CompanyVista's accounting team is led by a CPA, EA (IRS Enrolled Agent) and CAA (Certified Acceptance Agent) — providing genuine accounting advisory alongside bookkeeping services. Bookkeeping flows directly into VAT/GST return preparation, corporate tax return preparation and compliance filings — handled by the same team with no handoffs between providers. All fees are confirmed in a written quote before any payment. Monthly retainers are based on transaction volume and services in scope.
