What's Included

What's Included in Our Bookkeeping Service

Bookkeeping isn't just data entry. It's the record that everything else, your tax returns, your loan applications, your own decisions about the business, depends on. Here's what we actually do every month.

  • Transaction recording: every sale, purchase, and expense entered and categorized as it happens, not reconstructed at year-end
  • Bank reconciliation: your books matched against your bank and cash statements every month, so nothing is missed or duplicated
  • Payroll processing: salaries, withholding tax on salaries, and EOBI or social security contributions handled and recorded correctly
  • Financial statements: profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow prepared monthly or quarterly, ready to hand to a bank, investor, or auditor

We tailor the cycle and depth of reporting to how your business actually runs, a small retail shop doesn't need what a multi-branch company needs.

Our Process

How We Handle Your Bookkeeping

Six steps, repeated every month once you're on a regular cycle.

01

Initial Review

We review your current records, or lack of them, and bank statements to understand where things actually stand.

02

Chart of Accounts Setup

We set up or clean up a chart of accounts that fits your business, not a generic template.

03

Monthly Transaction Recording

Sales, purchases, and expenses are entered and categorized as they come in, not batched at month-end.

04

Bank Reconciliation

Every account is reconciled against statements each month, with discrepancies flagged and resolved.

05

Payroll & Compliance

Salaries, withholding tax, and EOBI contributions are processed alongside your books, not as a separate task.

06

Financial Statements Delivered

You receive a profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, ready for filing, financing, or your own review.

Stay Ready

Kept Audit-Ready, Not Just Up to Date

Section 174 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requires every business to retain its accounting records, financial statements, invoices, payroll records, bank statements, and tax payment receipts for at least six years. Most businesses only discover this when FBR raises a query and the relevant year's records are scattered across old emails and a drawer of receipts.

Because we record and reconcile every month rather than reconstructing a year at year-end, your records are already organized the way FBR expects to see them, whether that's for a routine query, a tax audit, or a bank due-diligence request.

Common Questions

Bookkeeping & Accounting FAQs

What does your bookkeeping service actually include?

Recording your day-to-day sales, purchases, and expenses, monthly bank reconciliation, a maintained general ledger, payroll processing including withholding and EOBI contributions where applicable, and monthly or quarterly financial statements: profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow.

How often will my books actually be updated?

Most clients are on a monthly cycle, transactions recorded and reconciled every month with a financial statement delivered shortly after. Higher-volume businesses can move to a more frequent schedule, we set the cadence based on how much activity your business actually generates.

How long am I legally required to keep my business records in Pakistan?

Section 174 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requires businesses to maintain their accounting records for at least six years. That includes financial statements, invoices, payroll records, bank statements, and tax payment receipts. Properly maintained bookkeeping is what makes that requirement manageable rather than a scramble later.

Can you take over bookkeeping that's already fallen behind?

Yes. Catching up a backlog is one of the most common reasons clients come to us, whether it's a few months behind or a full year. We reconstruct the missing period from bank statements, invoices, and whatever records exist, then bring you current before moving to a regular cycle.

Does bookkeeping replace my annual tax return filing?

No, but it makes that filing far more accurate and far less stressful. Reconciled monthly books feed directly into your income tax return, sales tax returns, and wealth statement, and they're what supports your position if FBR ever raises a query or selects your return for audit. See our Income Tax Returns service for the filing itself.

Do you handle payroll as part of bookkeeping?

Yes. Salary processing, withholding tax on salaries, and EOBI and social security contributions where they apply are handled as part of the same engagement, so your payroll records stay consistent with the rest of your books.
