Bookkeeping services in Singapore, closed properly.
Standard keeps transactions, documents, reconciliations, and monthly reports moving for Singapore startups and founder-led small businesses—without turning the founder into the bookkeeping project manager.

What gets handled
Clean books are a system, not a year-end rescue.
Standard connects the ledger, supporting records, reconciliations, and founder review into one operating rhythm. Each part has a clear purpose: make the numbers dependable now and easier to use later.
Accounts that agree
Bank, card, payment processor, receivable, payable, and other material balances are checked instead of quietly carried forward.
Evidence kept with the books
Receipts, invoices, contracts, and payroll support stay retrievable when tax, investor, or audit questions arise.
Questions surfaced early
Missing records and unusual movements become a short action list, not hidden assumptions in the ledger.
Tax-ready records
Reconciled ledgers and supporting schedules give corporate tax, ECI, GST, and payroll work a cleaner starting point.
Monthly close
From source document to founder report.
A repeatable close prevents unresolved transactions from rolling forward and gives every month the same clear finish line.
Collect
Bring invoices, receipts, contracts, payroll records, and account activity into one agreed workflow.
Record
Categorise the month consistently and connect transactions to the evidence behind them.
Reconcile
Match bank, card, processor, receivable, payable, and material balance-sheet accounts.
Report
Resolve exceptions, close the period, and deliver numbers the founder can actually use.
Founder reporting
Numbers that answer operating questions.
Monthly bookkeeping should help a founder decide whether to hire, collect overdue invoices, reduce spend, prepare for a filing, or explain performance to an investor. It should not end with a ledger export and no context.

Catch-up and clean-up
Behind does not have to mean permanently unreliable.
If the books are overdue, Standard first assesses the periods, connected accounts, transaction volume, missing evidence, software, and deadlines. The historical clean-up is then separated from ongoing bookkeeping so both scopes remain clear.
- Historical transaction categorisation and document matching
- Bank, card, processor, receivable, and payable reconciliation
- Review of suspense, director, shareholder, and unexplained balances
- An agreed opening position before the recurring close begins

FAQ
Before you hand over the books
What founders usually want to understand before the initial call.
What do bookkeeping services in Singapore include?
A typical scope can include transaction categorisation, bank and card reconciliation, receipt and invoice organisation, receivables and payables review, monthly management reports, and year-end records for tax filing support. The exact scope should be confirmed for the company’s activity and plan.
What is the difference between monthly and annual bookkeeping?
Monthly bookkeeping keeps records and reports current throughout the year. Annual bookkeeping may suit a low-activity company that mainly needs year-end records, but it gives founders less frequent visibility and can require more concentrated clean-up.
Can Standard clean up messy or overdue books?
Yes. The first step is to assess the periods, accounts, transaction volume, missing evidence, and filing deadlines involved. Standard can then recommend a clean-up scope before the regular monthly or annual work begins.
Are these bookkeeping services only for startups?
No. Standard is built for Singapore startups and founder-led small businesses that want bookkeeping connected to reporting, compliance support, and practical finance visibility.
Do we need to use Xero?
Standard plans can include Xero setup support and bookkeeping workflows. If the company already uses another platform, include that in the initial enquiry so the current setup and any migration work can be assessed.
What should we prepare for an initial bookkeeping call?
Share the company stage, approximate monthly transaction volume, number of bank and card accounts, current software, whether the books are current, payroll or GST needs, and the reporting or filing deadlines ahead.
Talk through where the books stand today
