Clean chart of accounts

Proper categories that make reporting, tax readiness, and tracking easier.

Payroll done properly

Salary structures, payslips, and monthly runs set up for consistency and control.

Statutory setup ready

Guided setup for EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB workflows so submissions aren’t last-minute.

What’s included in our Initial Setup package?

We tailor setup based on your business type (services, trading, retail, online, project-based) and how you operate (single bank account vs multiple, e-wallets, staff headcount, approval flow). The goal: a system that fits reality.

Cloud-based accounting setup

Designed for clean reporting, easy tracking, and smooth handover.

Business profile setup (company details, financial year, basic settings)
Chart of accounts configuration (income, cost, expenses, assets, liabilities)
Customer & supplier master list setup (naming standards, key fields)
Invoice, quotation, receipt, and credit note templates (branding + numbering logic)
Bank feed / bank statement import workflow (where applicable)
Opening balances & cut-off setup (for new setup or migration)
Basic internal control: user roles, approvals, and audit trail guidance

Payroll & statutory contribution setup

Built to run monthly payroll consistently and reduce compliance risk.

Employee profile setup (NRIC/passport fields, bank, job info, start date)
Salary structure configuration (basic, allowances, commissions, deductions)
Payslip format & payroll run checklist (monthly routine + approval steps)
Statutory item mapping: EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB (workflow setup + supporting schedule)
Leave / claims / reimbursement tracking approach (simple and auditable)
Monthly submission workflow guidance (what to prepare, when, and how to file internally)

Example (real-world setup issue): Many new businesses mix owner drawings, personal spending, and company expenses. We create a clear structure (accounts + rules + labels) so the bookkeeping stays clean and reports remain meaningful for decision-making.

Setup scope: what you get (and when it helps most)

Initial setup can be done once, but its impact lasts for years. Here’s a practical breakdown of the key areas.

Setup area	Best for	Outcome you gain
Accounting foundation	All businesses (new, migrating, or restructuring)	Clean chart of accounts, proper cut-off logic, and reporting-ready categories.
Invoice & expense workflow	Businesses with recurring invoices, purchases, or project billing	Consistent document flow, numbering standards, and easier tracking of receivables/payables.
Bank & reconciliation structure	Businesses using multiple banks, e-wallets, or frequent transfers	Reliable reconciliation routines to reduce missing items and cashflow confusion.
Payroll engine	Businesses hiring staff (even 1–2 employees)	Repeatable monthly payroll run with proper salary components and documentation.
Statutory contribution workflow	Employers needing EPF/SOCSO/EIS/PCB readiness	Clear contribution mapping and monthly submission preparation checklist.

Practical recommendation: If you plan to hire within the next 1–3 months, set up payroll and statutory workflows before the first salary run. Fixing payroll structures after several months often requires back-checking payslips and statutory calculations.

How our setup workflow works

We use a structured, checklist-based approach so the setup is complete, documented, and easy for your team to maintain.

Step 1

Discovery & requirements mapping

We understand your business model, billing flow, expenses, banks/e-wallets, and staffing plan. Then we define the best setup approach (new setup vs migration) and confirm key fields needed for compliance readiness.

Step 2

System configuration & structure build

We set up accounts, templates, lists, access roles, and workflow rules—then create a simple folder structure for documents so your records stay consistent.

Step 3

Payroll + statutory workflow setup

We configure salary components, employee profiles, payroll run steps, and contribution mapping for EPF/SOCSO/EIS/PCB, then prepare an operational checklist for monthly use.

Step 4

Testing, handover & training

We run a sample cycle (invoice → receipt → reconciliation; payroll → payslip → statutory checklist) and hand over a clear SOP so you can operate independently.
