Bookkeeping services in Singapore
Emerhub keeps your books accurate and up to date: every transaction recorded to SFRS, your accounts reconciled each month, and clean reports ready whenever you need them. The foundation your IRAS and ACRA filings rely on, handled by a local team in Singapore.
Why it matters
Clean books are what everything else relies on
Tax filings, decisions, financing, an audit: all of it depends on accurate, up-to-date records. When the books fall behind, every one of those gets harder.
Letting it slide
A backlog that gets expensive to untangle
Receipts pile up, transactions go unrecorded, and the bank never quite reconciles. It feels manageable until the ECI is due, the ACRA annual return arrives, or a financing request lands and the books have to be rebuilt months after the fact.
By then the detail is hard to reconstruct, mistakes are baked in, and you've had no clear view of the numbers all year.
With Emerhub keeping your books
Books that are always current
A Singapore bookkeeping team records every transaction, reconciles your accounts each month, and keeps your records to SFRS, or SFRS for Small Entities, and retained the five years Singapore law requires. Nothing accumulates, and nothing is reconstructed from memory.
You get clean, reconciled books and clear monthly reports, so the ECI, Form C-S, and ACRA annual return are straightforward and you always know where you stand.
What's included
Your books, kept properly, on your behalf
The day-to-day recording and reconciliation that keeps your financial records accurate and ready to use.
01
Transaction recording
Every sale, purchase, and expense recorded and categorized correctly, so your books reflect what actually happened.
02
Bank & cash reconciliation
Your accounts reconciled to the bank statements each month, so the books and the bank always agree.
03
Receivables & payables
We track what you're owed and what you owe, so nothing is missed and you can see your position at a glance.
04
General ledger & chart of accounts
A clean general ledger maintained to Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS), or SFRS for Small Entities, structured to fit your business.
05
Source document management
Invoices, receipts, and supporting records organized and stored, so everything is ready for ACRA, IRAS, or audit when the time comes.
06
Month-end close & review
At the end of each month we close the books and review them for errors and gaps, so what you get back is accurate, not just complete.
Need tax handled too? If you also want corporate tax filings, GST, and the ACRA annual return, our full accounting and tax service includes the bookkeeping plus all of that. See accounting & tax.
How it works
Three steps to clean books
Onboarding takes a couple of weeks. After that, your books are kept current on a simple monthly rhythm.
Step 01
Send us your records
- You forward your invoices, receipts, and bank statements, or give us access to the source.
- We take over any existing books and reconcile the opening balances.
Step 02
We record & reconcile
- We enter and categorize every transaction, and reconcile your accounts to the bank each month.
- We flag anything that looks off or is missing a document, so the books stay accurate.
Step 03
You get clean books
- You receive your monthly reports and a clear view of the numbers.
- Everything is reconciled and ready when it's time to file with IRAS or ACRA.
Why Emerhub
Why companies hand their books to us
Outsourced bookkeeping only works if you can trust what comes back. Here's what you can count on.
Always current
We keep your books updated through the month, not just at year-end, so you have an accurate picture whenever you need one and no scramble before a deadline.
We chase the gaps, not you
When a document or detail is missing, we flag it and follow up. You're not the one digging through months of old invoices to close the books.
A dedicated local team
You work with the same Singapore bookkeepers who know your accounts, and they're reachable when you have a question about a number.
Audit-ready by default
Your books stay reconciled and kept to Singapore standards (SFRS), so handing them to a tax agent, auditor, or investor is straightforward.

Most bookkeeping clients fall into one of these patterns. If yours matches, the service is built for your situation.
Small business
Small businesses & startups
Companies that want clean, professional books without hiring an in-house bookkeeper.

You have a tax agent already
Companies whose tax is handled separately, but who need the underlying books kept accurately and on time.
New companies
Right from day one
Newly incorporated companies that want the books set up correctly to SFRS from the start.
Backlog cleanup
Months behind
Companies with a pile of unrecorded transactions who need their books brought up to date and reconciled.

Pre-audit or financing
Getting investor-ready
Companies preparing for an audit, a loan, or due diligence who need clean, reconciled books to show.
What you receive
Your financial reports, every month
The bookkeeping work produces a clear monthly package: the statements your accountant, auditor, or bank will ask for, and that you can actually run the business on.
Profit & loss statement
How the business performed over the month: revenue against costs.
Balance sheet
What the company owns and owes at the close of the month.
Cash flow summary
Where your cash came in and went out, so you can see what's actually liquid.
Trial balance
Confirmation the books balance, the basis for every statement above.
Aged receivables & payables
What you're owed and what you owe, sorted by how overdue it is.
General ledger
The full record behind every figure, so any number can be traced to its source.
Want it in a specific format? We can deliver in your preferred accounting software or as exported reports, and tailor the chart of accounts and reporting to how you actually run the business, including XBRL-ready statements when the year-end ACRA filing comes around.
Common questions
Bookkeeping FAQs
What companies ask most often before handing over their books.
What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording and reconciliation that keeps your financial records accurate, the foundation. Accounting builds on that to handle corporate tax, GST, financial statements, the ACRA annual return, and advice. If you only need the books kept, bookkeeping is the lighter option. If you also need tax handled, our accounting and tax service includes the bookkeeping plus all of that.
What do you need from me each month?
Your sales and purchase invoices, expense receipts, and bank statements, or access to the source where those live. We agree a simple handover at onboarding, then it becomes routine. The cleaner and more complete the records you send, the faster and more accurate the books.
Do you handle my IRAS and ACRA filings too?
Not as part of bookkeeping on its own. Bookkeeping keeps the records; the IRAS tax filings and the ACRA annual return are a separate service. Many clients keep their tax agent and use us purely for the books. If you'd rather have both in one place, our accounting and tax service includes bookkeeping plus the full IRAS and ACRA filings.
What standard do you keep my books to?
We maintain your books to Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS), or SFRS for Small Entities for most private companies, with a chart of accounts structured to fit your business. Records are retained the five years Singapore law requires. That keeps everything consistent with what IRAS, ACRA, or a future auditor will expect to see.
Can you clean up a backlog?
Yes. We regularly take on companies that have fallen months behind. We reconstruct the records from your invoices, receipts, and bank statements, reconcile everything, and bring the books up to date, then keep them current going forward.
What software do you use?
We work with the common accounting software used in Singapore — Xero, QuickBooks, and similar — and can fit into your existing setup or set one up for you. You keep access and ownership of your books, and we deliver reports in the format that suits you.
How do I switch from my current bookkeeper?
We handle the handover. We collect what is needed from your current provider or your records, reconcile the opening balances so nothing is lost in the move, and pick up the monthly cycle from there. Most switches are straightforward once we have access to the books and the bank statements.
