A new company needs a clean start
Set the chart of accounts, closing timetable, document flow and filing calendar before the first reporting period becomes a cleanup project.
Build the monthly routineLocal records. Cross-border context. Clear responsibility.
You should not have to rebuild your books every time a return is due. We organise the monthly records, prepare decision-ready accounts and coordinate the filing work for local companies, foreign-owned businesses and multi-entity groups.

Start with the business problem
Good accounting is not a pile of reports. It is a reliable chain from the original transaction to the number in the accounts and, where applicable, the number in a return.
Set the chart of accounts, closing timetable, document flow and filing calendar before the first reporting period becomes a cleanup project.
Build the monthly routineFind the last reliable balance, reconcile the missing periods and separate historical repair work from the ongoing monthly service.
See the takeover processConfirm the return, period, authority, responsible professional and missing records. A filing promise is only useful once those facts are known.
Tell us the deadlineStandardise cut-off dates, account mapping, intercompany balances and reporting packs so the group can be read as a whole.
Compare the right scopeAccounting services
We define what HSJGlobal will prepare, what your team must provide and who is responsible for each filing. That boundary is especially important when more than one country is involved.
Keep the ledger tied to the records that prove each balance.
Turn reconciled records into reports that an owner can actually use.
Prepare the records and schedules needed for the agreed return.
Organise the transaction data behind GST, VAT, sales tax or similar filings.
Repair the history before promising a reliable current balance.
Make the records easier to review across companies, currencies and reporting periods.
Important: bookkeeping, tax filing and statutory audit are different engagements. A clean ledger supports a return or audit, but it does not by itself determine the tax treatment or replace an independent auditor. Your proposal will name the work included and any local professional required.
Scope selector
The number of entities matters, but it is not the whole story. Inventory, payment platforms, payroll, foreign currencies and overdue records can make one company more complex than a small group.
| Business situation | What needs attention | Sensible starting scope |
|---|---|---|
| One local operating company | Monthly records, bank reconciliation, routine local returns and year-end accounts. | Core or Compliancedepending on filing needs |
| Foreign-owned company or subsidiary | Owner location, related-party transactions, local filing rules and group reporting dates. | Accounting + Compliancewith jurisdiction review |
| SaaS, e-commerce or marketplace seller | Payment processors, refunds, multiple currencies, indirect tax and revenue cut-off. | Accounting + Compliancewith channel reconciliation |
| Two or more related entities | Consistent account mapping, intercompany balances, close dates and consolidated reporting. | Multi-Entity Financewith a group close calendar |
| Overdue or unreliable books | Opening balances, missing statements, unposted periods and unresolved tax notices. | Cleanup project firstthen monthly service |
Tell us where the company is incorporated, where the work is actually managed and where it sells. Those facts often matter more than the accounting software you use.
Local and cross-border businesses
Your monthly reporting can follow one disciplined rhythm. The filing rules, licences and responsible professionals still need to be checked country by country.
One reporting calendarAlign internal close dates with local filing deadlines.
One ownership mapShow related parties, intercompany flows and who approves each entity.
Local responsibilityConfirm which return is filed, by whom and under which engagement.
How the engagement works
We agree the records, deadlines and approvals at the start. If something is missing, it appears on an exception list rather than disappearing into the ledger.
We review the entity, business activity, jurisdictions, filing history, accounts, transaction flow and upcoming deadlines.
We agree how statements, invoices, payroll data and explanations will be provided, then map the ledger and opening balances.
Transactions are processed, balance-sheet accounts are reconciled and exceptions are reviewed before reports are released.
For included filings, the return package, responsible professional, approval and proof of submission follow the agreed route.
A takeover starts with the latest accounts, ledger, bank balances, filed returns and unresolved items. If historical cleanup is needed, we price it separately so the monthly fee remains understandable.
Indicative HSJGlobal fees
These are monthly professional-fee starting points in US dollars. We confirm the final price after checking the company, transaction flow, existing books and filing responsibility.
Core Bookkeeping
Single entityFor a straightforward company with light activity and clean source records.
Accounting + Compliance
Active businessFor an operating company that needs tax-ready accounts and routine filing coordination.
Multi-Entity Finance
Group supportFor groups that need aligned close dates, entity packs and cross-border coordination.
We price the work, not just the company name.
Prices are indicative starting fees for HSJGlobal professional services. Government charges, taxes payable, statutory audit, payroll processing, software subscriptions, historical cleanup and third-party or locally licensed professional fees are excluded unless the written proposal says they are included. Filing availability is subject to jurisdiction and engagement acceptance.
What good delivery looks like
We do not hide unresolved balances inside a polished report. Material questions stay visible until they are answered, adjusted or accepted with a documented treatment.
Also need corporate secretarial support?Bank, payment, receivable, payable and other material balance-sheet accounts are tied back to support.
The proposal states who prepares, reviews, approves and files each included deliverable.
Missing documents and uncertain treatments are raised for decision instead of being silently guessed.
Working papers, approvals and filing acknowledgements are organised around the period they support.
Frequently asked questions
If a deadline is already close, tell us the exact return and due date in your first message. We will confirm whether there is enough time and information to accept the work.
Ask about your companyBookkeeping records and reconciles transactions. Accounting turns those records into financial statements and useful analysis. Tax filing applies the rules of the relevant jurisdiction to prepare and submit required returns. You may need all three, but the responsible professional and deadline can differ by country.
Yes, subject to jurisdiction and scope confirmation. We first check where the company is incorporated, where it operates, where its owners and decision-makers are based, and where customers and payments are located.
No firm should assume one service model works everywhere. HSJGlobal supports selected jurisdictions directly and coordinates with appropriate local professionals where required. We confirm availability and responsibility before engagement.
Usually, yes. We review the last reliable closing balance, bank and payment accounts, prior returns, outstanding invoices and missing records. Cleanup is quoted separately from the ongoing monthly work so both costs are clear.
Often, yes. Tell us the system, version, reporting currency, integrations and access available. We will confirm whether it can support the required records or whether a migration is sensible before any data is moved.
The usual starting set includes formation documents, the latest filed accounts and tax returns, bank and payment statements, sales and purchase records, payroll summaries, loan schedules and details of any filing notice or deadline.
Our indicative starting fees are US$249 per month for core bookkeeping, US$599 per month for accounting plus compliance support, and US$1,250 per month for multi-entity finance support. The written quote depends on transaction volume, accounts, entities, filing obligations and the condition of existing records.
No. Tax treatment depends on the facts, records and law of the relevant jurisdiction, and an authority may review or challenge a filing. We explain the scope, assumptions and responsible professional before the work begins.
Talk through the work before choosing a package
We will help you separate the immediate problem from the ongoing monthly work, then confirm the deliverables, responsible parties, timing and price in writing.
