Meridium

For companies already operating in Singapore

Your Singapore entity, run properly by senior advisers.

Many foreign-owned companies in Singapore sit with high-volume providers, where the file changes hands and deadlines are chased by ACRA reminders. Meridium takes over company secretarial, accounting, tax and payroll with one senior contact who knows your entity.

Signs it is time for a change

If any of these sound familiar, a review is worth half an hour.

  • No company secretary you can name

    The secretary on record has changed or is hard to reach, and questions take days to answer.

  • Deadlines found out from reminders

    Annual return, AGM or tax filing dates are raised by ACRA or IRAS letters rather than by your provider.

  • Books that close late

    Accounts are prepared in a rush at year end, so the tax return is estimated or filed at the last moment.

  • Payroll that needs correcting

    CPF contributions, IR8A forms or leave entitlements are fixed after the fact.

  • Registers nobody has looked at

    The register of registrable controllers and other statutory registers have not been reviewed since incorporation.

  • Passes renewed at the last minute

    Employment Pass renewals are not planned against MOM’s rising salary thresholds.

Changing provider

How a change of provider works.

  1. Review and fixed fee

    We go through your entity’s current position with you and quote a fixed fee to take it over.

  2. Engagement and KYC

    Identity checks on directors and owners, done once.

  3. Handover

    We request the registers, records and accounting files from your current provider and lodge the change of company secretary and registered office with ACRA, which is due within 14 days of the change.

  4. Ongoing delivery

    Your named contact runs the compliance calendar, books and payroll, and raises issues before they become deadlines.

Common questions

Can we change company secretary part-way through the year?

Yes. A company can appoint a new secretary at any time. The change must be lodged with ACRA within 14 days, and we handle the filing and the handover of records.

Do we need our current provider’s cooperation?

The company’s registers and records belong to the company. We request them from your current provider on your behalf, and in most cases the handover is routine.

Can you take over payroll or accounting part-way through the year?

Yes. We pick up from your last completed period and reconcile the year to date, so year-end reporting such as IR8A forms and the tax return is complete.

What does a review cost?

The first call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If you engage us, the fee to take over your entity is quoted in writing beforehand.

Meridium Management Consultants Pte. Ltd. is a private corporate services firm and is not affiliated with ACRA, MOM, IRAS or any other government agency. Our professional fees are separate from government fees, and companies can also file directly with ACRA through Bizfile.
