The reviewer's call
Software is up on last month because two seats were added mid-month, so next month's run-rate is higher still. Confirm both seats are needed before the annual renewal.

How your close runs
Reconciled all month, so month end is a review rather than a rebuild
Finbryn is bookkeeping for Hong Kong companies, kept audit-ready because every active company here files an annual statutory audit with no small-company exemption. Books close by business day five, every file is checked by a senior reviewer, and prices are published before you call. You keep your Xero or QuickBooks Online file.
- What changed
- Revenue rose on last month.
- Why it matters
- One milestone invoice made up most of the rise, and it will not repeat next month.
- What to do
- Plan next month's cash on recurring revenue only, and chase the milestone invoice by its due date.
Illustrative note. The kind of judgment every pack carries.
Every week
Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to their statements. Questions go to you while they are fresh.
Month end
Last transactions coded, accruals and prepaid items posted, open items listed with what we need from you.
Before it is sent
A senior reviewer checks every reconciliation and reads the numbers against last month.
By business day five
The pack arrives: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash, open items and a written note.
How we work
What every Hong Kong account is built around
Reconciled weekly, not before the audit
AP, AR and bank accounts are reconciled every week, so the Hong Kong-registered auditor who signs your annual statutory audit spends less time reconstructing the year.
One pod, one reply time
A named pod works your file and answers in writing within one business hour. If anyone on it changes, you get a recorded handover memo.
Your file stays yours
Books live in your own Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books subscription. Take the full file and its history if you ever leave.
Built around the profits tax year and MPF
Territorial Profits Tax, Mandatory Provident Fund contributions and the BIR51 audit cycle shape how we set up your chart of accounts from the first month, not retrofitted later.

Questions
Questions before you call
Do you handle our statutory audit?
No. Every Hong Kong company needs an annual audit by a Hong Kong-registered auditor, with no exemption for small companies. We keep your books reconciled and audit-ready; the audit itself sits with your appointed local auditor.
Is there a VAT or GST return you file for us?
No. Hong Kong has no VAT, GST or general sales tax, so there is nothing to file on that front. Profits Tax and the annual audit are the two things that shape your books.
Can we keep using Zoho Books?
Yes. We work in Zoho Books, Xero or QuickBooks Online, whichever your company already runs, and the subscription stays in your name.
How do we reach the team?
Message your pod and the first written reply arrives within one business hour. Calls are booked in Hong Kong business hours on +1 (224) 593-2454.
Industries
Books set up for how your business actually earns
The chart of accounts, the reconciliations and the monthly note change with the model. Three examples:
- Ecommerce (Amazon and Shopify)Bookkeeping for online sellers on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy and their own storefronts, built around clean payout and sales tax data.Where the books usually hurt
- Marketplace payouts land as one lump sum that hides sales, fees, refunds and reserves
- Cost of goods sold gets estimated instead of tracked by SKU and inventory location
- SaaSBookkeeping and reporting for subscription software businesses tracking recurring revenue, deferred revenue and burn.Where the books usually hurt
- Revenue recognition on annual and multi-year contracts gets booked as cash instead of spread over the service period
- MRR, churn and expansion numbers get pulled from three different tools that disagree with each other
- Professional servicesBookkeeping for professional service firms such as engineering, architecture and IT consulting billing clients by project or retainer.Where the books usually hurt
- Project-based billing means revenue recognition needs to follow the work performed, not just the invoice date
- Unbilled work in progress at month end never gets estimated, so profitability numbers run behind reality
