A full finance back-office for growth-stage Singapore companies — monthly close, management reporting, controls and finance operations — run for you, without building a full in-house team.
Most growing Singapore companies reach a point where the bookkeeping is fine but the finance function is missing. The ledger is reconciled, yet the founder still approves every payment, the monthly numbers arrive late, and the "reporting pack" is a Xero export with no commentary. Bankers, investors and auditors begin to ask questions the spreadsheets cannot answer.
An outsourced finance function fills that gap. It is the operating layer that sits between basic bookkeeping and a full-time controller or CFO: we design the close, build the controls, write the reporting pack and run it for you each month — so the numbers are reliable, the obligations are met on time, and the function is in clean shape for whoever takes it over next.
This service suits companies that have outgrown spreadsheets but are not yet ready — or large enough — to hire a full internal finance team. You may recognise one of these situations:
The pattern is consistent across growth-stage companies. The books exist, but the finance operation around them does not — and the cracks show at exactly the moments that matter: a fundraise, a loan drawdown, an audit, a board meeting.
You do not need a full finance department to have a finance function that works. You need the close run properly, controls that hold, and a reporting pack people can rely on — delivered each month.
Getting started is light. We work inside your own systems so you keep ownership of everything we produce.
We keep the engagement simple to start and clear to run. Most engagements begin with a short message exchange and a written proposal within five working days.
This service is the bridge between our operating backbone / finance operations work and broader corporate advisory. It scales up as your reporting demands grow and steps down to an internal hire when the time is right.
An outsourced finance function is a finance back-office run for you by an external team. Rather than just recording transactions, it covers the recurring work a finance department would do: an accrual-basis monthly close, a management reporting pack, approval and payment controls, and audit-ready documentation. You get the output of a finance team without recruiting, training and managing one in-house.
Bookkeeping records what happened — it keeps the ledger reconciled and the GST coding consistent. An outsourced finance function takes that clean ledger and produces decision-grade output: a proper close on a calendar, accruals and prepayments, a reporting pack with commentary, controls over who can approve and pay, and documentation an auditor or investor can rely on. Bookkeeping is the input; the finance function is the operating layer on top.
Usually when the founder has outgrown spreadsheets but cannot yet justify a full-time controller or CFO. Common triggers are raising or repaying debt, preparing for a first audit, board or investor reporting that the current numbers cannot support, and a finance workload that has become too large for the founder to manage but too small for a full internal team.
Either way works. If you have a bookkeeper or in-house junior, we can sit above them — owning the close, the controls and the reporting — while they continue day-to-day data entry. If you would prefer a single team, we can run the bookkeeping as well. We scope this with you at the start so there is no overlap or gap.
Yes. We maintain audit-ready documentation continuously rather than scrambling at year end — workpapers for accruals, prepayments, fixed assets and other balances, plus a clear approval trail. When the auditor arrives, the supporting schedules already exist. We also support the corporate tax and ACRA filing cycle so year-end obligations are not a surprise.
A typical pack contains a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet and a cash flow view, each compared against prior periods, with short commentary explaining the movements. Where it is useful we add a KPI scorecard and cash runway. The aim is a pack a director, board or lender can read in a few minutes and trust.
