Process overview流程概覽

1. Enquire — Describe your company, financial year end, approximate transaction volume, and whether prior-year accounts exist.
2. 提交查詢——說明公司情況、財政年度結算日、大概交易量，以及是否已有往年賬目。
3. Clarify — We ask for sample records or prior packs and confirm what is in scope (bookkeeping only, year-end only, or audit coordination).
4. 釐清需求——我們可能要求樣本紀錄或往年資料，並確認範圍（僅簿記、僅年結，或含審計協調）。
5. Propose — Clear fee basis and working timetable assumptions — before commitment. No website price list.
6. 提出方案——在承諾前提供清晰收費基準及工作時間假設。本站無價目表。
7. Deliver — Ongoing bookkeeping and/or year-end and audit steps against the agreed scope, with email updates for overseas directors.
8. 執行交付——按約定範圍進行持續簿記及／或年結與審計步驟，並以電郵向海外董事更新。

Clean source documents (invoices, bank statements, contracts) shorten every stage. Incomplete records are the usual reason year-end work slips.

清晰的原始單據（發票、銀行月結單、合約）可縮短每個階段。紀錄不全是年結延誤的常見原因。

FAQ常見問題

Does every Hong Kong company need a statutory audit? 每間香港公司都需要法定審計嗎？

Many private limited companies need audited financial statements in practice, especially for profits tax and banking or counterparties. Specific obligations depend on your company's facts and current rules — we outline what to consider after your enquiry rather than giving a blanket yes/no online. 實務上許多私人有限公司需要經審計的財務報表，尤其涉及利得稅、銀行或交易對手。具體義務視公司事實及現行規定——我們在查詢後說明應考慮的要點，而非在網上給予一刀切答案。

Can you work with directors who live overseas? 能否配合身在海外的董事？

Yes — that is a core focus. We rely on clear document exchange, agreed cut-off dates, and email updates. Response quality still depends on how complete and timely your records are. 可以——這是我們的核心重點。我們依賴清晰的文件往來、約定截數日及電郵更新。成效仍視乎您的紀錄是否齊全及時。

Do you publish fixed accounting or audit fees? 是否公佈固定會計或審計收費？

No. Fees depend on transaction volume, record quality, year-end complexity, and whether bookkeeping and audit are bundled. Enquire for a proposal. 不會。收費視乎交易量、紀錄質素、年結複雜程度，以及是否捆綁簿記與審計。請查詢以取得方案。

Do you only serve companies you incorporated? 是否只服務由你們註冊的公司？

No. We can discuss accounting and audit for Hong Kong companies formed elsewhere, subject to onboarding and conflict checks. If you still need a company, see our Hong Kong incorporation page. 否。我們可討論由其他途徑成立的香港公司之會計與審計，惟須完成接案及利益衝突檢查。若仍需成立公司，請見香港公司註冊頁面。
