03 Enterprise Finance's Hong Kong Company Accounting Package

Quarterly accounting services for Hong Kong companies - making corporate finance transparent, compliant and efficient!

We provide quarterly financial bookkeeping and compliance management services for companies registered in Hong Kong, covering two packages: basic bookkeeping and high-end compliance, to meet the financial management needs of enterprises of different sizes, and help them avoid tax risks and improve operational efficiency.

Package 1: Basic Accounting Package for Hong Kong Company (suitable for start-ups and small businesses)

Package 3: "Bookkeeping + Offshore Exemption = Double Tax Moat"

Many clients think that 'as long as the business is not done in Hong Kong, it is tax free' - but the Inland Revenue now wants a chain of evidence!

If the accounts are in disarray, cost vouchers are missing, and the place where the contract was signed is unknown, the offshore exemption will be denied, even if the profits are truly generated offshore.

Our quarterly bookkeeping service at Enterprise Cai Ying Group builds the books according to the offshore exemption audit standard from day one to ensure that you have 'accounts to rely on, documents to check and signatures to recognize' when you apply at the end of the year.

04 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for three product packages

Q1:Hong Kong company audit is once a year, why do you need to do quarterly auditing? Is it redundant?

A: Very good question! Actually, quarterly bookkeeping ≠ annual audit, but it is the foundation and safeguard for a good annual audit.

We can use the analogy of a "medical check-up": 💡 Annual audit = annual comprehensive medical check-up Quarterly reconciliation of accounts = health monitoring every three months 

🔍 Give me a real-life scenario and you'll understand: a Hong Kong company didn't do any accounting for the whole year, and only at the end of the year did they hand over a bunch of invoices to their accountant.

The results revealed that: ● A large number of bills were missing ● Revenue was not accounted for ● Cost vouchers were not in compliance ● Anomalies in fund flow were found. 

👉 At this point, the auditor can only truthfully disclose "unable to express an opinion" or "qualified opinion", the tax bureau may therefore start an investigation, the enterprise faces back taxes + penalties!

And if we did quarterly ledgers:● Accounts are cleared every 3 months ● Invoices are consolidated in a timely manner ● Unusual transactions are detected and rectified in advance ● Accounts are clear and complete at the end of the year

✅ When it comes time for an audit, an accountant can produce a report quickly, saving time, effort, money and security!

✅ That's why: quarterly bookkeeping is not a substitute for an audit, but paves the way for an audit and escorts the boss.

It allows you to: Avoid year-end "hand-wringing" ● Reduce audit adjustments ● Improve audit pass rates ● Get a true picture of your company's operations

📣 Just like you wouldn't wait until the end of the year to care about whether your company is making money or not, you wouldn't wait until the day of the audit to start organizing your books, right?

Q2: What exactly is the difference between the quarterly bookkeeping you do, and the annual audit report?

 A: 🔹 Quarterly bookkeeping = internal management statement (for the boss)

 🔹 Annual Audit Report = Statutory Forensic Document (for IRS, Banks, Investors) Bookkeeping is 'record keeping', Audit is 'certification'.

The IRS and banks only recognize audit reports signed by accountants, not internal charts of accounts. So, the bookkeeping keeps us 'in the loop' and the audits keep us 'compliant'." It is because you do the quarterly bookkeeping that our audits are 'lighter'. Most of the drafts have already been completed and we just need to perform the necessary procedures, sign and stamp.

This way, you get a legally valid audit report and a discount on our audit reports.

Q3: What is your process for doing an audit report?

Three-Step Process - Closing the Professional Loop

There are some 'low cost audits' in the market, which may be an accountant who does the accounts and directly stamps out the report without review, procedure or separation of responsibilities. Once sampled by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, it is easy to be recognized as 'invalid audit'.

And we adhere to a three-step process to ensure that every report stands up to scrutiny and carries scrutiny.

We are not only professional, but also have a rigorous process. Every audit report, must be gone through:

The bookkeeping accountant makes a draft → the senior auditor reviews it → the licensed accountant signs it.

 Three people, three roles, three levels, one without the other.

 This is not only our standard procedure, but also a practice requirement of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA).

Q4: I have asked you to do quarterly bookkeeping, how do I charge for the annual audit report?

A: Because we are in the same licensed CPA firm, the process of quarterly bookkeeping is actually preparation for an audit. Every entry, every voucher, every statement has been filed in accordance with audit standards.

At the end of the year, we don't need to 're-do the books', we just need to perform: ● Compliance review ● Audit procedures performed (e.g. correspondence, inventory) ● Formal audit opinion issued So, the audit workload is significantly reduced and naturally, the fees are lower.

Where our accounting firm "quarterly accounting services" for a full year of customers, the annual audit report to enjoy the exclusive preferential price, for more information, please contact: 13045886252!

Q5: What criteria do you use to do your accounts?

A: We strictly follow the Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department requirements in our bookkeeping, and all statements comply with auditing and tax filing standards to ensure compliance.

Q6: My company has no employees and I am the only one doing business, do I still need to do the accounting?

A: It must be done! Even if it is a sole proprietorship company, as long as the company is registered and carries out business in Hong Kong, it must do the accounts and tax returns according to the regulations. Otherwise, they may face fines or even revocation of their licenses once they are subject to random checks.

Q7: How do you ensure data security?

A: We use an encrypted system to store customer information, and all original bills are used only for account processing and will not be leaked.

After the contract is signed, we will sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure information security.

Q8: If I already have an accountant, do I still need your services?

A: It works perfectly well together. You can hand over your daily documents to our team to organize and file before submitting them to your accountant for review, which reduces your workload and ensures a standardized process.

Q9: What documents can I get after service delivery?

A: Quarterly, we will deliver the following documents via email or cloud drive: ● General Ledger ● Trial Balance ● Profit and Loss Statement (Income Statement) ● Balance Sheet ● (Compliance Package) List of Bills, Tax Reminder Record, Risk Analysis Report

Q10: Can you help me with my tax return?

A: We currently provide tax filing reminders and material assistance, but the formal tax filing needs to be completed by a licensed accountant.

We can assist in preparing the required information to ensure that you complete your filing on time and in compliance.
