What we take off your plate

Accounting and bookkeeping services for startup teams

From your first lines of code to your Series B, Standard keeps bookkeeping, accounting reports, payroll records, and Singapore compliance work moving.

DR / CR

Easy bookkeeping

Infinitely scalable service - from DIY to full noise. Receipts captured, transactions categorised, monthly management reports that actually tell you something.

PAYROLL

Painless payroll

Save yourself a whole lot of stress. Your people get paid on time, CPF and IR8A obligations are met, and onboarding a new hire takes minutes, not meetings.

IRAS

Accurate tax preparation

There's nuts-and-bolts tax. And there's smart tax advice for startups and scale-ups. We do both - corporate filing, GST, and strategy around your runway.

Why us

Hand it to Standard.

Your close happens without you.

Bank feeds reconcile through your Xero setup, invoices and receipts are automated, and a clean management report lands in your inbox every month. You read it over coffee instead of building it at midnight.

  • Standard Xero set-up, done right from day one
  • Invoice and receipt automation
  • Monthly management reports with real-time visibility

Compliance, on autopilot.

Singapore's deadlines don't move for fundraising season. ECI, GST, IR8A, corporate tax - we track every obligation, prepare every filing, and chase you only when a signature is genuinely needed.

  • Corporate tax filing, handled end-to-end
  • Payroll & IR8A filing every cycle
  • Deadlines tracked so nothing slips - and no late penalties

Fundraise-ready, always.

When an investor asks for your numbers, the answer is "here you go" - not "give us two weeks." Clean books, clear burn and runway, and smart tax strategy as you move from seed to scale.

  • Crystal-clear visibility into burn rate and projections
  • Guidance through each funding round
  • A full finance team, at a fraction of the cost

"Standard has been a game-changer for our startup. The real-time financial insights helped us make critical decisions during our seed round."

Sarah Chen - Founder

"As a first-time founder, tax compliance was overwhelming. Standard made it simple and clear. They're like having a CFO in your pocket - always there with smart, actionable advice."

Michael Torres

"I can finally focus on building my product instead of worrying about payroll and compliance. Standard handles everything seamlessly - from employee onboarding to tax filings. Worth every penny!"

Lisa Park

"They've helped us optimise our runway and prepare for each funding round. It's like having a full finance team at a fraction of the cost."

James Wilson

FAQ

Founders usually ask

We already have messy books. Can you fix them?

Yes - catch-up and clean-up work is a normal part of onboarding. We'll review your existing records, tidy historical transactions, and get you to a clean baseline before the regular monthly rhythm begins.

Do we need to use Xero?

Our Launch and Scale plans include a standard Xero set-up, because it's the cloud platform best suited to Singapore compliance and automation. If you're on something else, talk to us - migration is usually straightforward.

What Singapore filings do you cover?

Depending on your plan: bookkeeping and financial statements, corporate tax filing, GST, payroll with IR8A filing, and the monthly management reporting that keeps you investor-ready in between.

We're pre-revenue. Is this overkill?

That's exactly what the DIY plan is for - annual bookkeeping, statements and tax filing from $120/month, so you're compliant from day one without paying for services you don't need yet.

How do we get started?

Schedule a call. We'll learn where your startup is, recommend a plan, and map out onboarding - most founders are fully handed over within their first month.

We're here to help you build your dream startup.

Hand the books to Standard and spend your hours on the work only you can do.
