Rapid Accounting Recovery for Singapore Trade

“Statutory Recovery in 48 Hours: Averting ACRA Strike-Off and Reconciling 36 Months of Backlog”

An established Singapore international trading firm headquartered in the Central Business District faced imminent ACRA compounding penalties and statutory strike-off notices following the sudden resignation of their in-house clerk. Over 18 months of raw trade transactions, customs clearance slips, and multi-currency bank statements lay disorganized across three physical archival binders.

Mobilizing within hours of consultation at our International Plaza office, senior accountant Sidney and the A.1 Business accounting department reconstructed the complete General Ledger, executed 18 months of bank reconciliations across DBS and OCBC accounts, and produced compliant Unaudited Financial Statements. The filing was successfully lodged via ACRA BizFile within 48 hours—incurring zero late penalties and restoring full compliance standing.

“One stop shop for all small business needs. They efficiently print stamps, file official documents, and provide a host of other services such as hosting and web design. I visited at 3pm on a weekday to get some company stamps made and I didn't have to wait at all. The stamps were done quickly and efficiently, and the lady behind the counter didn't waste any time getting the stamps made.”
