Outsourced monthly bookkeeping for Singapore SMEs and founders — reconciled bank, payables and receivables, GST-ready coding, and clean cloud books you can actually rely on.
Most growing Singapore companies reach a point where their bookkeeping has quietly fallen behind. Bank transactions go unreconciled for weeks, supplier bills pile up in an inbox, GST coding drifts, and nobody is quite sure whether the numbers in the accounting software are right. By the time a tax deadline or a financing conversation arrives, the books are no longer something you can trust.
Steadbook takes that recurring work off your desk. We keep your books current month after month, reconcile every account, and code transactions so they are GST-ready and tidy at year end. The result is a clean, up-to-date set of cloud books — the foundation everything else in your finance function depends on.
Bookkeeping in a spreadsheet works right up until it doesn't. As transaction volume grows, the manual approach starts to cost you accuracy, time and confidence. This service is for owners and finance leads who recognise that moment.
Clean books are not an end in themselves. They are what makes the next stage of the year straightforward: GST returns that reconcile, an annual financial statement that comes together without rework, and a corporate tax computation that starts from numbers you trust. When the bookkeeping is right, your accounting and tax work is faster, cheaper and far less stressful.
If your books are behind, inconsistent, or simply untrustworthy, the work is recoverable. We reconstruct what's there, correct what's wrong, and put a reliable monthly rhythm in place so it stays clean.
You don't need any of this perfectly organised. Part of what we do at the outset is make sense of what exists and put a clean structure around it.
Bookkeeping rarely lives on its own. For companies that want a fuller finance function — a proper monthly close and finance operations — the same clean books become the engine for management reporting. A named lead handles your file with a partner reviewing the work, and everything is executed in systems you own and can see into at any time.
Bookkeeping is the recurring work of recording and reconciling every transaction — bank entries, supplier bills, customer invoices and expense claims — so your ledger is accurate and complete. Accounting builds on that: interpreting the numbers, preparing financial statements, computing tax and advising on decisions. Clean bookkeeping is the foundation; without it, the accounting and tax work on top is slower and less reliable.
We recommend monthly. Reconciling every month keeps errors small and catchable, gives you up-to-date numbers to make decisions on, and means GST returns and year-end tax filing are a tidy step rather than a scramble. Some very small or dormant companies can run on a quarterly cycle, but monthly is the standard we suggest for any active business.
Yes. Catch-up work is a common starting point. If your books are months behind, mixed across spreadsheets, or were never set up properly, we reconstruct them period by period — reconciling bank statements, sorting supplier and customer records and correcting the chart of accounts — until you are current. From there we move you onto a clean monthly cycle.
We work in Xero, the cloud platform we use for most Singapore engagements. It gives you live visibility of your own numbers, supports bank feeds and GST reporting, and integrates with common tools. If you already run another cloud system we can discuss it, but new engagements are normally set up on Xero.
Always. Your books live in your own Xero file under your ownership, and supporting workpapers are kept in a shared folder you control. We never hold your accounts on a closed system you cannot access. If you ever move on, everything stays with you.
You send source documents — supplier invoices, bank statements, expense receipts — through a shared folder or by forwarding them, and we file each against the right transaction. Keeping documentation attached to entries means your books stay audit-ready and GST input claims are properly supported, without you having to keep a shoebox of paper.
