Singapore companies must file ECI within 3 months of their financial year-end and corporate tax by November 30 each year. Getting accounting set up from incorporation avoids backlog, penalties, and messy records when investors ask for your financials.
If you incorporated in Singapore but operate from abroad, you still need a locally compliant set of books and a locally filed tax return. Sleek handles all IRAS and ACRA submissions remotely so you don't need to be in Singapore.
Once transaction volumes increase, manual spreadsheets stop working. Structured monthly bookkeeping gives you accurate cash flow, margins, and profitability data so you can make decisions based on real numbers.
If you are spending several hours a month on receipts, reconciliation, and deadlines, outsourcing your accounting to Sleek costs less than doing it yourself and frees you to focus on running your business.

Sleek offers three accounting plans for Singapore businesses.
Yes. All companies in Singapore must maintain proper accounting records under Section 199 of the Companies Act. Records must explain the company’s transactions and financial position and must be kept for at least 5 years. Companies must also file annual corporate tax returns with IRAS and file annual returns with ACRA.
Yes. Every Singapore company must file an annual return with ACRA, including financial statements (if required), within 7 months of its financial year-end. Listed companies must file within 5 months. Companies qualifying as “small companies” under the Companies Act are exempt from audit but must still prepare unaudited financial statements.
Bookkeeping is the recording and categorisation of daily financial transactions. Accounting covers financial statements, tax computations, regulatory filings, and financial analysis. Most SMEs need both: bookkeeping to keep records current, and accounting to produce compliant reports and file taxes. Sleek’s plans bundle both services together.
Yes. Xero records and displays your financial data but does not replace the judgment of a qualified accountant for compliance and tax filing. You still need a professional to review transactions for accuracy, prepare compliant financial statements, compute corporate tax, and file returns with IRAS.
Sleek uses Xero as part of its accounting workflow, combining software automation with human review.
You are not legally required to hire an accountant, but all Singapore companies must maintain proper financial records and meet tax and filing obligations.
For most small businesses, outsourcing accounting is the practical choice because it helps ensure compliance with IRAS and ACRA requirements, reduces the risk of errors, and saves time that can be better spent on growing the business.
As soon as your company is incorporated. Setting up accounting early allows you to track income and expenses accurately, avoid backlog or messy records, and stay prepared for tax filing and compliance deadlines. Delaying accounting often leads to costly cleanup work later.
Most accounting services include bookkeeping, financial reporting, tax-related support, and compliance tracking. Some providers (like Sleek) also include accounting software such as Xero, an assigned accountant, automated deadline reminders, and management reporting as part of the standard plan.
Yes. Even early-stage startups must maintain proper financial records, track income and expenses, and prepare for tax filing.
Starting accounting early helps ensure compliance, keeps your finances organised, and avoids costly mistakes or cleanup work as your business grows. Sleek’s filing plan at S$75/month is designed for early-stage companies with lower transaction volumes.
Yes. Proper accounting throughout the year produces the financial records needed for accurate tax filing. Sleek prepares your corporate tax computation, files your ECI return within 3 months of financial year-end, and submits your annual Form C-S or Form C to IRAS by the November 30 deadline. GST quarterly filing is available as an add-on.
For most Singapore SMEs, yes. A full-time bookkeeper costs S$3,500 to S$5,500 per month including CPF. Outsourced accounting starts from S$75/month. Outsourcing also provides access to a broader team rather than a single hire, structured compliance processes, and business continuity if a team member leaves.
Yes. Switching typically takes business days with no disruption to your filings. Sleek coordinates with your current provider to collect ledgers, financial statements, and outstanding filings. Your assigned accountant reviews records, flags gaps, and ensures no deadlines are missed. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers the transition.
At onboarding: ACRA bizfile, prior-year financials, and bank access. Monthly: invoices and receipts via WhatsApp, email, or the Sleek app. Bank feed integrations reduce manual submission significantly. Payroll records are needed if payroll is part of your plan. All documents can be submitted digitally through the Sleek platform.
