What we handle
What Do Our Bookkeeping Services Cover?
Our bookkeeping services cover every routine entry a business makes in a month: recording sales and expenses, reconciling bank, card and mobile wallet accounts, managing payables and receivables, posting payroll journals and keeping VAT working files ready. One named bookkeeper owns all of it and closes your books on an agreed date.
Transaction recording
Sales, purchases, expenses and receipts entered and coded to your chart of accounts.
Bank and card reconciliation
Every bank, card and mobile wallet account matched to its statement each month.
Accounts payable
Supplier bills logged, due dates tracked and payment runs prepared for your approval.
Accounts receivable
Invoices recorded, customer receipts matched and overdue balances flagged early.
Payroll journals
Salaries, allowances and deductions posted to the ledger after every payroll run, including runs from our payroll outsourcing service.
VAT and tax working files
VAT and withholding entries kept in order, so your filings start from clean data.
Ways to work with us
Should You Choose Offsite, Onsite or Hybrid Bookkeeping?
Choose offsite bookkeeping if your records are digital and you have no finance desk in Bangladesh. Choose onsite if you keep paper records or run in-house accounting software. Choose hybrid if routine entries can be done remotely but you want scheduled visits for reviews and sign-offs. You can switch models as you grow.

Questions
Bookkeeping Services: FAQs
Short answers to what clients ask before handing over their books.
General information for companies keeping books in Bangladesh. It is not legal or tax advice. Rules change, so confirm the current position with your adviser.
Proper books at the registered office
Section 181 of the Companies Act 1994 requires every company to keep proper books covering money received and spent, sales and purchases, and assets and liabilities. Books that do not give a true and fair view of the company's affairs do not count. They are kept at the registered office and open to directors. The board can move them elsewhere in Bangladesh for up to six months, with written notice to the Registrar within seven days.
Twelve years of books and vouchers
The same section requires books of account and their supporting vouchers for at least the twelve years before the current year to be preserved in good order. A branch keeps its own books and sends a summary to the registered office at least every three months.
Responsibility stays with the company
If these rules are not followed, the managing director, managers and other officers, or every director where there is no manager, can face up to six months' imprisonment, a fine of up to Tk 5,000, or both. Outsourcing the bookkeeping does not move this responsibility.
VAT and income tax filing
VAT-registered businesses file a return under the VAT and Supplementary Duty Act 2012 within 15 days after each tax period, or 20 days for nil returns and certain bodies such as banks and insurers, following the Finance Act 2026. Income tax falls under the Income Tax Act 2023, in force since June 2023, where the income year generally runs from 1 July to 30 June. Subsidiaries and branches of foreign companies can apply to follow a different year.
