SOAS Pte. Ltd., trading as Singapore Online Accounting Services, has been serving Singapore businesses since its incorporation in 2007. Based in Bedok, the firm operates as an ACRA-registered Corporate Service Provider, offering a genuinely one-stop range of services that take a company from incorporation through to ongoing compliance.
For businesses starting out, SOAS handles the process of setting up a local company with ACRA. From there, the firm's corporate secretarial team takes over the ongoing obligations that come with running a Singapore-registered entity — company secretary and nominee director appointments, provision of a registered office address, maintenance of the Register of Registrable Controllers, and preparation of resolutions for ACRA Bizfile+. SOAS also manages the annual cycle of AGM preparation, annual returns and XBRL filing, along with CorpPass registration and maintenance.
On the accounting side, SOAS offers bookkeeping and accounting processing, financial report preparation, and GST and Corporate Tax computation. The firm is qualified under IRAS ASR+ Tier 3, which allows for seamless submission of GST and tax computations directly to IRAS. SOAS is also involved in the rollout of InvoiceNow, which clients could adopt optionally from May 2025 and which becomes mandatory for newly GST-registered traders from November 2025.
SOAS has partnered with fintech provider Automa8e to give clients access to accountma8e, a cloud-based accounting platform used for transaction capture and the automatic generation of financial reports and tax computations. New clients can access the software free for their first year as part of this partnership.
SOAS is led by CEO David Lau, a certified Chartered Accountant and Fintech Founder with more than 30 years of experience in accounting. Beyond his role at SOAS, David is a key figure behind Automa8e's technology and innovation work in business and financial transactions. The firm describes its culture as team-first, built on professionalism, trustworthiness and transparency, with an emphasis on clear communication among staff and with clients.
SOAS serves a client base spanning services, investment holdings and wholesale trade industries. The firm positions itself as a trusted partner for businesses that want to remain compliant with Singapore's regulatory requirements while focusing their own energy on growth — covering everything from the first incorporation filing to the annual return years down the track.
