Benefits Enjoyed by SMEs that Outsource Accounting Services in Singapore
In terms of accounting, there are two types of small business owners:
- Owners who carry out their accounting single-handedly, and
- Owners who outsource the accounting functions to an external individual or firm.
The bottom line is that both may successfully shoulder these responsibilities. However, a number of small business owners who go down the road of undertaking their accounting function themselves fail fast because the task requires in-depth knowledge of principles of accounting and established rules and regulations.
SME owners who outsource their accounting services enjoy the following benefits not only in the short-term, but also for the long-term entrepreneurial success.
Sufficient Time for Managing Core Functions of their Business
Whether you are an SME owner deploying offline or online accounting services, you’ll always enjoy the benefit of having your valuable time freed up for other core business functions. You can save on time and work on customer activities in preference to doing the work all by yourself. Small business owners who outsource acknowledge that they are not machine and each of them only have one pair of hands. Use the spare time to focus on expanding, growing and investing in your business. Not only does this lead to efficiency, but also productivity.
Considerable Cost Cutting
Outsourcing the accounting functions of your SME cuts down considerable amounts of overhead and payroll costs that could weigh down your finances. When you outsource, you do not need to pay staff salaries and even contribute to the central provident fund (CPF). You do not need worry of employees taking medical leave, and even the payment of performance bonuses as well.
Elimination of the Recruitment Process
Have you ever realised that the process of recruitment and resignation is agonising for most business owners? By outsourcing, you solve the problem associated with hiring and firing accountants every time and again. This process leads to missed opportunities, waste of precious time, and loss of business, as employers are likely to take several weeks or even months before hiring a suitable candidate for the vacant position. When an accountant leaves, your firm will suffer an interruption of workflow.
Accurate Financial Reporting
You do not need to worry that your employees are incompetent and are not updated with the latest rules and regulations, which could lead to shoddy work. If you outsource your accounting function, you’ll be rest assured that our expert accountants are well updated with accounting best practices. They are familiar with the industry’s do’s and don’ts and have the knack to streamline your cash flow and discipline your business expenses to increase its profitability.

Client 1
Established in 2017, ‘Pasir Ris Children’s Playground’ (PaRiChip) is a non-profit organization providing hands-on educational exhibitions and programs focusing on art, science, and world cultures for children, families, and school groups who visit their amusement park on a monthly basis.
The Challenge
‘PaRiChip’ full-time CFO retired and the start-up could not afford to hire a new accountant to undertake the Controller-level accounting functions in the interim. Tianlong Services was initially brought on board in mid-2018 with an overall goal of improving processes and systems to attain financial transparency and assist with the yearly audit.
The Solution
To streamline their accounting services, Tianlong’s on-going engagement took account of the following processes:
- Installed QuickBooks and migrated their accounts to non-profit edition
- Producing accurate and timely financial statements every month.
- Provided yearly audit support with a CPA firm
- Created a donor tracking system for the financial allocation of expenses and implementation of fund accounting
- Collaborated with management to develop accounting policies and procedures to ensure overall objectives are met.
The Results
‘PaRiChip’ doubled their profits this year and secured donor funding from three big investors. This engagement enabled us to demonstrate the value of outsourcing for small businesses by highlighting items that the client hadn’t previously noticed. Currently, Tianlong Service provides full-time outsourced accounting services for the non-profit organisation.
Client 2
‘One-Stop Fresh Foods’ is a retail store located in Singapore. The SME only has two branches and sells cooked, baked, packaged or fresh food products.
The Challenge
After the death of the business owner, his wife did not have the time and skills to handle the company’s books in-house, which led to the decision to outsource their accounting functions. A new bookkeeper was hired at a reasonable rate of SGD$12/hour, but working two days/week. After 3 months, she noticed that the bookkeeper always played catch up, and failed to send up-to-date financial statements. He was fired and sought advice from a mutual business owner, which resulted in a call to us.
The Solution
We assigned him a team of expert accountants to assess the financial books of the business and they came up with an exhaustive list of areas that needed to be addressed. She was impressed, and decided to commit to an ongoing contract with us, and so we billed her SGD$180 on a monthly basis, a huge cost cutting for the business. Since then, ‘One-Stop Fresh Foods’ has enjoyed:
- Access to our Client Portal;
- Corporate Secretary;
- QuickBooks/Xero Subscription;
- Tax (ECI + Form C/C-S); and
- Other optional Add-on Services:
The Results
Within a few weeks, ‘One-Stop Fresh Foods’ books were completely updated and our accountants send reports 5 business days after the end of the preceding month. We also deliver revenue reports that explicate the top product sellers of each store. She has an accurate inventory count and when he wanted to invest in a new line of products, we provided the necessary information to facilitate her decision making.
