BIR-Accredited · CPA Firm Philippines · Est. 2009
Your bookkeeper files. We make sure what she files won't come back to haunt you.
At ₱10M in revenue, your compliance exposure is no longer a bookkeeping problem. It is a legal one. The BIR doesn't audit your intent. They audit your documentation.
How We Work
The Compliance Layer
We don't replace your bookkeeper. We install a professional review layer on top of her work, so what she records is what the BIR will accept.
The Gap Most Philippine Businesses Don't Know They Have
Your bookkeeper records. We protect.
When business owners at the ₱10M–₱100M level come to us, they always have a bookkeeper. Sometimes two. They've invested in accounting software. They have someone keeping the books current. What they don't have is anyone reviewing whether what's been recorded will survive contact with the BIR.
Every month, we review what she recorded and ask three questions: Is it legally categorized? Is it correctly filed? Is it defensible if a Revenue Officer examines it tomorrow? When the answer to any of those questions is no, we correct it before it becomes part of your permanent record, before it compounds with surcharges and interest across 3 to 10 years of open exposure.
This is the structure that large Philippine conglomerates have always operated with. We made it available to ₱10M–₱100M businesses.
What's Included
Full-service accounting, not just form filing
Every engagement includes professional CPA oversight, not just a bookkeeper with a filing checklist.
BIR Audit Defense & LOA Representation
When the BIR issues a Letter of Authority, you need legal standing, not a bookkeeper with a folder of receipts. We cover the full examination process: reviewing the coverage period against your records, preparing your formal response, representing you in BIR conferences, and filing protests against deficiency assessments. We are BIR-accredited tax practitioners with active representation rights in Revenue District Offices across Metro Manila and nationally.
Tax Filing & Compliance: Monthly, Quarterly, Annual
We file every BIR-required return on your behalf: monthly withholding tax (1601-C, 1601-EQ, 1601-FQ), monthly VAT or percentage tax, quarterly income tax, annual income tax, and all required information returns. Every return is reviewed by a licensed CPA before submission. We track your deadlines, maintain your filing history, and flag any regulatory changes that affect your business.
Bookkeeping Review & The Compliance Layer
We don't replace your bookkeeper. We review her work. Monthly, we audit her entries for BIR compliance: correct expense categorization, proper documentation of deductible expenses, VAT treatment accuracy, payroll tax alignment. What fails the review gets corrected before it's filed. This single service eliminates the most common source of BIR deficiency findings in ₱10M–₱100M businesses.
Financial Reports & Management Accounts
We prepare two categories of documents: statutory reports (audited financial statements required by the BIR and SEC, signed by a CPA partner) and management accounts (monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow prepared for your decision-making). Most businesses only have one. They serve different purposes, and you need both.
Virtual CFO Advisory Philippines
For ₱30M–₱100M businesses, compliance is necessary but insufficient. Our Virtual CFO service delivers a senior finance executive function on retainer: monthly financial review, cash flow forecasting, cost structure analysis, and strategic guidance on pricing, headcount, and capital decisions. CFO-level financial clarity at a fraction of a full-time hire.
Who This Is For
Four types of business owners we work with
The Scaling Business Owner
Your business has crossed ₱10M. You have a bookkeeper on payroll. You filed your returns last year through whoever your bookkeeper recommended. You haven't had a formal BIR audit, but you know your records aren't clean. You need The Compliance Layer installed over your existing setup, not a full teardown.
The LOA Recipient
You received a Letter of Authority: last week, last month, or six months ago. It won't go away. The examination is proceeding with or without your organized response. You need a BIR-accredited CPA firm that has done this before and can build a defensible response from whatever records currently exist.
The CFO-Less ₱50M Business
You're grossing ₱50M per year and making eight-figure decisions without a structured financial function. You have instincts and a bank balance. What you don't have is a monthly financial review, a cash flow model, or a professional view of your cost structure. You don't need a full-time CFO yet. But you need someone doing that job.
The Business Owner Switching Firms
Something went wrong under your prior arrangement: incorrect filings, unresponsive CPAs, or records that don't match what was submitted. Our onboarding review is included in the first month's engagement and is specifically designed to surface any historical exposures before they become our problem too.

FAQ
Questions about our accounting services
Philippine corporations are legally required to file audited financial statements annually with the SEC, prepared and signed by an independent CPA. They must also maintain BIR-registered books of accounts, file all applicable BIR tax returns on schedule, and register any accounting systems under the BIR's CAS protocol. The AFS must be signed by an external CPA. An in-house accountant cannot sign it. A CPA firm is not optional for incorporated businesses. It is a legal requirement.
Notify your outgoing firm in writing and request the handover of your engagement letter, all filed returns with acknowledgment receipts, copies of your BIR-registered books, prior-year audited financial statements, and any open BIR correspondence. Our onboarding review, included in the first month, is specifically designed to surface any historical exposures before they become our problem too. Most business owners switch because something went wrong. Our first job is finding out exactly what.
Yes. We handle monthly employee withholding tax (BIR Form 1601-C), expanded withholding on professional fees (1601-EQ, quarterly), BIR Form 2316 for all employees annually, and the annual information return (1604-C). Payroll tax mismatches are one of the most common triggers for BIR discrepancy notices: the BIR cross-references what employees declare with what employers remit. A CPA firm reviewing your payroll structure annually catches these before they become a multi-year exposure.
For a well-organized business with clean books, AFS preparation typically takes 2–4 weeks from the date year-end records are submitted. For businesses with incomplete records or multi-entity structures, 6–8 weeks. The SEC deadline for annual AFS submission is 120 days after fiscal year end. Businesses that wait until the last 30 days consistently face rushed work and higher error risk. Engage your CPA firm in the first month of your new fiscal year.
Bookkeeping is the systematic recording of financial transactions: encoding receipts, tracking invoices, reconciling bank statements. It is a data function. Accounting (what a licensed CPA firm performs) is the interpretation, classification, and legal certification of that data. In the Philippines, bookkeepers are not licensed. CPAs hold a PRC license and are legally accountable for the work they sign. For any business that files taxes or holds a corporate registration, that distinction determines who can stand between you and the BIR.
If your bookkeeper is your compliance strategy, you have no compliance strategy.
