One set of numbers, every audience
A Hong Kong company with outside investors is usually reporting to people in more than one time zone and, often, more than one currency. An investor update that quietly uses different figures from what the auditor later signs off creates exactly the kind of question a board meeting should never have to answer. Investor reporting here starts from the same closed ledger, in Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, that feeds the annual statutory audit every active Hong Kong company must complete.
What goes into each update
A monthly or quarterly update is built to a consistent template covering revenue, gross margin, burn rate, runway and growth, pulled directly from your books each period rather than reconstructed. Where the company holds a related Mainland, Singapore or overseas entity, consolidated figures are shown alongside entity-level detail so investors can see both the group picture and where it comes from. Cap table figures used in the update are reconciled against your legal cap table records, and a board deck is built whenever a board meeting requires one.
Currency and territorial tax, shown plainly
Revenue and cost in USD, RMB or other currencies are converted to Hong Kong dollars on a consistent basis, with currency effects called out separately from underlying performance. Where the update touches on tax provisions, it reflects Hong Kong's territorial basis and, once profitable, the two-tier rate structure, so investors are not surprised by a tax line that looks larger or smaller than the headline profit would suggest.
A shared reference between updates
The file is a shared reference investors can return to between formal updates, not a one-off deck, and it stays consistent with whatever the statutory audit later confirms.
Questions
Frequently asked questions: Investor reporting
How often should a Hong Kong company send investor updates?
Monthly is common for early-stage companies; quarterly is more typical once a board is formally in place. We build to whichever cadence your investors have agreed with you.
Does the update reconcile with what the annual audit later shows?
Yes. Updates are built from the same closed ledger that feeds the annual statutory audit, so the figures investors see during the year should not conflict with the audited accounts.
Can you report separately for a related Mainland or Singapore entity?
Yes. Group and entity-level figures are shown together, with each entity's own filing and audit obligations staying with a locally credentialed signer in that jurisdiction.
Do you manage the cap table itself?
We reconcile cap table figures used in reporting against your legal cap table records. Cap table administration sits with your legal counsel or a dedicated platform.
Can the same update format be reused across different investors or rounds?
Yes. A consistent template built once, then updated with fresh numbers each period, is usually preferred over rebuilding the format for every investor, since it makes your own numbers easier to compare period to period too.
What metrics do investors usually expect?
Revenue, gross margin, burn rate, runway and growth are the common core; we tailor the set to your stage and what your specific investors track.
Can you also manage the cap table?
We reconcile cap table figures used in reporting against your legal cap table records. Cap table administration itself sits with your legal counsel or a platform like Carta.
How often should investor updates go out?
Monthly is common for early-stage companies; quarterly is more typical once a board is formally in place. We build to whichever cadence you have committed to.
Who reviews the work before it reaches us?
Every deliverable under investor reporting is reviewed by a senior principal before it reaches you. You keep access to the underlying file at every stage, so nothing about the work happens somewhere you cannot see it.
