Singapore Certified Accountant: Returns & Tax

I run a Singapore-registered private limited company and need a certified local accountant who can keep our books in order, prepare the statutory filings, and handle the entire compliance cycle.

Scope of work
• Bookkeeping – about 50-200 transactions flow through each month. Bank feeds are already connected to Xero, but I am open to QuickBooks Online if that suits your workflow better. You will classify the entries, reconcile the accounts, and produce monthly management reports.
• Annual return – prepare and lodge the ACRA annual return on time, ensuring all supporting documents (financial statements in XBRL format, resolutions, etc.) are ready and error-free.
• Tax filing – compute and file the Estimated Chargeable Income and Form C-S/C with IRAS, maximising allowable deductions while keeping us fully compliant.

Deliverables
1. Up-to-date, fully reconciled ledgers each month in Xero or QuickBooks Online.
2. Unaudited financial statements drafted to Singapore Financial Reporting Standards.
3. Successful submission receipts for:
– ACRA annual return
– ECI and Form C-S/C to IRAS
4. A brief year-end memo highlighting any tax positions taken and items to watch for the next period.

Acceptance criteria
• No unreconciled balance older than 30 days.
• All statutory deadlines met without late-filing penalties.
• Clear audit trail for every adjusting journal entry.

Please confirm your professional credentials in Singapore, preferred software, and estimated turnaround time for the first reporting cycle when replying.
