Corporate secretary

When did your corp sec last message you?

Most surface once a year, with an invoice. We message you the whole year — about deadlines that aren't even ours to file.

What the law says about your corporate secretary
01Every company must have one

A Singapore-resident person or firm, on record with ACRA. It's a statutory role with legal duties — not an admin title you can leave blank.

Don't have one yet? Appointing one is the first filing we do.
02Within six months, never vacant

Appointed within six months of incorporation, and the seat can't sit empty for long. A resignation with no replacement is an offence in itself.

Switching from another firm? We appoint first, then handle the handover.
03Miss a filing — the director pays

The AGM and annual return are company duties, but the penalties and the record land on the director personally. Even a dormant company files.

That's why we chase before the deadline, not after it.

The compliance year

Six deadlines. We remind you of all six.

Only two of these are the corporate secretary's job. Tap any one to see when it falls, whose job it is — and what we do anyway.

1
ECI3 months after your FYE+ details
Estimated Chargeable Income to IRAS — a rough figure, before the accounts are even final. Miss it and IRAS estimates for you. We message you the week your FYE closes.
Whose jobYour accountant, or whoever does your tax. Not the corporate secretary.
What we doRemind you from day one, chase the numbers, and file it if we're your tax provider.
2
AGM6 months after your FYE+ details
Your annual general meeting — or the exemption from holding one, if you qualify. This one is ours. We prepare the resolutions and get them signed digitally.
Whose jobThe corporate secretary. That's us.
What we doPrepare AGM papers or the exemption, chase signatures, keep the minutes on file.
3
Annual return7 months after your FYE+ details
Lodged with ACRA within a month of the AGM. Late lodgement penalties land on the director personally. Even a dormant company files this.
Whose jobThe corporate secretary. Also us.
What we doLodge it with ACRA — with the financial statements in XBRL where required — before the deadline, not on it.
4
Form C-S / CEvery 30 November+ details
The company's actual corporate tax return to IRAS. Needs the finalised accounts behind it, so the chase starts months earlier than November.
Whose jobYour tax agent. Not the corporate secretary.
What we doRemind you in good time, and file it if we handle your tax.
5
AISEvery 1 March+ details
Employers submit staff employment income to IRAS under the Auto-Inclusion Scheme. Easy to forget because it belongs to nobody in particular.
Whose jobYour payroll or HR. Not the corporate secretary.
What we doRemind you before it's due — even if we don't run your payroll.
6
Personal taxEvery 18 April+ details
The director's own income tax e-filing. Not a company deadline at all — but a director in trouble with IRAS is a company in trouble.
Whose jobYou. Personally.
What we doRemind you anyway, and prepare it alongside the company filings if you want.
And when a new grant comes out — we tell you that too.

Our policy is simple: don't only take from clients. Try to give. Grant news, rule changes, a heads-up before the bank asks — that's part of the job.

What "we chase" actually means

Ignore us. See what happens.

The day your financial year-end passes, our reminder system switches on. It messages, it follows up, it calls — and it doesn't get tired. If you go quiet, the reminders keep coming: more than thirty of them if it comes to that.

The moment you reply, it stops. That's the point. A corp sec who never chases isn't relaxed — they're just not watching. Us? Your deadline makes us more nervous than it makes you.

Honestly? We get more nervous than you do.
Most corp secs file and disappear

We chase. We read. We pick up the phone.

Anyone can lodge a form. The difference is a corporate secretary who actually watches your back — reminds you before deadlines, reads your numbers, and tells you about the changes that affect you.

"I'm dormant, I don't need to file." Wrong.

Even a dormant company must file its annual return and declare its status to ACRA — and the penalties, plus the personal liability, still land on you. We don't wait for you to remember. We message the group, we chase, we call. We chase because we care.

We actually read your numbers

Most corp secs just file whatever you hand them. We read your financial statements and comment — flagging what looks off before it becomes a problem at tax time or with the bank. A second set of eyes that understands the business behind the numbers.

Rules change — we tell you before they bite

ACRA, IRAS and MOM update their requirements constantly. We don't just file — we keep you informed of the changes that actually affect you. So you're never caught out by a rule you didn't know existed.

A direct line, not a ticketing system

You're in a private WhatsApp group with our team — ask anything, anytime. Digital signing, video calls, no chasing paperwork around. Compliance handled the modern way. Your business, our business.

Frequently asked questions

Corporate secretary, answered.

A corporate secretary keeps your company compliant with statutory requirements — filing annual returns, maintaining the registers, preparing resolutions, and keeping ACRA updated on any changes. With us, it also means reminders for every deadline your company has, reading your accounts, and a direct line to ask questions.

Within 6 months of incorporation — and the position can’t sit vacant for more than 6 months at any time. It’s a legal requirement, not optional.

Yes. Even a dormant company must file its annual return and declare its dormant status to ACRA. Skipping it still attracts penalties — which fall on the director personally. We handle this so it never slips.

ACRA imposes late lodgement penalties, and they can stack up — falling on you, the director, personally, not just “the company.” Repeated breaches can even lead to disqualification. That’s exactly why we chase you before deadlines rather than after.

Yes. ECI, Form C-S / C, AIS, even your personal tax — whether or not we're your accountant or tax agent, you'll hear from us before each one. A corporate secretary who only reminds you about their own invoice isn't really watching your company.

Yes, and it’s straightforward. If your current corp sec only surfaces once a year, you’re free to transfer to us at any time — we handle the handover. Message us and we’ll walk you through it.

Broadly: hold your AGM (or qualify for exemption), file your annual return with ACRA, and keep your statutory records and registers up to date — plus filing any changes during the year. We track all of it and chase you ahead of every deadline.
