Several key factors influence how accounting services are priced:
More complex business operations with higher transaction volumes naturally require more accounting work. Some traditional firms charge directly based on the number of transactions, which can become expensive as your business grows.
Businesses in specialised industries often face additional regulatory requirements that may increase accounting costs due to specialised expertise needed.
Modern accounting leverages technology to improve efficiency. Accounting providers using advanced platforms can often deliver better service at competitive rates through automation of routine tasks.
Monthly, quarterly, or annual reporting affects pricing.
The depth of services you need significantly impacts pricing:
Bookkeeping costs depend on factors like transaction volume and reporting frequency. Small businesses with minimal transactions can expect fees starting from S$90 per month, while businesses with high transaction volumes or complex financial reporting may require more comprehensive services costing S$300 to S$800 per month. Common bookkeeping services include:
Corporate tax services typically cost between S$400 and S$2,000 per year, depending on business structure, revenue, and compliance requirements. Timely tax filing ensures compliance with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and helps businesses avoid penalties.
For businesses requiring end-to-end accounting services, full-service packages can range from S$250 to S$1,500 per month, depending on the complexity of financial management required. These packages typically include:
These packages are ideal for business owners who want to focus on growth instead of financial administration.
Most businesses in Singapore require unaudited financial statements annually to comply with government regulations. Fees for this service generally range from S$250 to S$800 per year, depending on the complexity of financial data and reporting requirements. Having up-to-date financial statements is crucial for tax filing, securing loans, and making informed business decisions.
Many small businesses outsource payroll services to ensure employees are paid correctly and on time. The cost typically ranges from S$15 to S$40 per employee per month, with some firms charging a base fee plus a per-employee rate. These services include:

As your business grows, your accounting needs become more complex. Look for services that can scale with you without requiring you to switch providers.
Modern accounting solutions offer real-time financial visibility, automated compliance alerts, and digital document management that traditional services can’t match.
Direct communication with your accounting professionals creates accountability and personalised service. Look for providers offering both a dedicated accounting and tax team, plus convenient access to your account manager.
For example, Counto clients work with a consistent team of specialists while enjoying direct WhatsApp or phone access to their dedicated Customer Success Manager—eliminating the frustration of support tickets and ensuring your questions receive prompt, informed responses from someone familiar with your business.
Before making your decision, ask during your initial meeting:
The real cost of accounting isn’t just the fee—it’s the time saved, risks avoided, and opportunities gained. The right provider goes beyond bookkeeping, offering expertise, technology, and proactive insights to fuel your business growth. Choose a partner that aligns with your goals, not just your budget.
