Bookkeeping Hong Kong | Professional Bookkeeping Services | Deep Blue CPA

Professional Bookkeeping Services in Hong Kong

Accurate bookkeeping is the foundation of every well-run business. Under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622, Sections 373–379), every Hong Kong company is required to keep accounting records that sufficiently explain its transactions and enable the financial position of the company to be determined with reasonable accuracy at any time.

At Deep Blue CPA, we provide professional bookkeeping services that go beyond simply recording numbers. We help you maintain clean, organised financial records that support informed decision-making, simplify audit preparation, and ensure full compliance with Hong Kong's statutory requirements. Whether you are a startup, an SME, or an established company with years of unorganised records, we tailor our approach to your specific situation.

Our monthly bookkeeping packages start from HK$2,500 depending on transaction volume — transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You will be assigned a dedicated accountant who knows your business, and all reports are accessible through cloud-based platforms so you can view your financial position anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need to provide for bookkeeping?

You will need to provide bank statements, invoices and receipts for all income and expenses, payroll records, previous accounting records if any, and details of accounts receivable and payable. We can guide you through the full list during onboarding.

How often will I receive financial reports?

We provide monthly bookkeeping updates and financial reports, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and accounts receivable/payable aging reports. Quarterly management accounts are available for businesses that require deeper financial oversight.

Can bookkeeping help with my tax filing?

Yes. Well-maintained bookkeeping records make tax filing significantly easier and more accurate. Your up-to-date records allow your tax advisor to prepare Profits Tax Returns efficiently, ensure all deductible expenses are captured, and reduce the risk of errors that could trigger an IRD inquiry.

Do I need bookkeeping if I use accounting software?

Accounting software helps organise financial data, but professional bookkeeping ensures transactions are categorised correctly, reconciled properly, and compliant with HKFRS standards. Our team can manage your software or work with our in-house developed HK accounting software to deliver accurate, timely records.

How much do bookkeeping services cost in Hong Kong?

Bookkeeping fees in Hong Kong typically range from HK$2,500 to HK$5,000 per month depending on transaction volume, the complexity of your business, and the frequency of reporting required. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quotation tailored to your company.
