It depends on the jurisdiction and size. Hong Kong requires an audit from everyone, Singapore and Cyprus exempt small companies, and classic offshore centres usually require only financial statements. We check your jurisdiction before the year starts.

What happens if I do not file?

Fines first, then the registrar refusing to renew the company, and in several countries strike-off and personal liability for the director. Restoring a company usually costs more than several years of filings.

How much does accounting for a foreign company cost?

It depends on transaction volume and jurisdiction. Our price list has both hourly rates and fixed packages by country. Dormant filings cost markedly less than active ones.

Do I need to file if the company was dormant?

Almost always yes - a nil return. Registrars read silence as a breach, not as inactivity.

Can I keep the books myself and use you only for the audit?

Yes. If the bookkeeping is sound we can take on the audit or the statements alone. On a consultation we look at your data and say what still needs collecting.

Need accounts or an audit for a foreign company?

Tell us where the company is registered and what the registry or bank requires - we prepare the accounts, arrange the audit and track the next filing deadlines.
