What cloud accounting means here

No installation on each office machine. Your chart of accounts, transaction history and filing records sit in one hosted place that a director, an admin and an external accountant can all open.

Cloud accounting means your ledgers, invoices and reconciliation live in a hosted system you reach through a browser, not on one office PC. For a Singapore SME that matters because GST returns and audit files are date-bound: if the bookkeeper is on leave, the work still has to be reachable.

Nothing here requires you to install software on each machine. Dovaskin keeps the chart of accounts, transaction history and filing records in one place, so everyone works from the same set of numbers rather than three versions of the same spreadsheet.

  • Reach it from anywhere. Browser access for the office, a laptop at home, or the accountant reviewing the same period.
  • Filing records stay put. GST periods and audit files remain attached to the entries that produced them.
  • Roles stay separate. In-house staff post day to day; your accountant reviews before anything goes to IRAS.

The four jobs Dovaskin is built around

Most Singapore finance teams come to cloud accounting for a narrow set of tasks, and we keep those front and centre. Each one is a workflow with a beginning and an end, not a dashboard you stare at.

Bank reconciliation

Feeds from Singapore banks

Transactions matched to invoices and expenses, with anything unclear parked in a visible queue.

GST F5 return

Built from posted entries

Figures drawn from the ledger rather than a spreadsheet someone maintains by hand each quarter.

Payroll runs

CPF carried with the ledger

Employer CPF and employee deductions post straight into the accounts, with no separate journal.

Audit file

Structured for review

Generated in a format your accountant or IRAS can work from, without reformatting first.

The point is to close the month and file on time. If you want the full workflow detail, the Features page walks through each of these in turn.

GST filing without rebuilding the numbers

GST F5 returns are where small Singapore businesses lose the most time, usually because the sales figures sit in one tool and the input tax in another. Dovaskin keeps GST treatment on the transaction itself, so a standard-rated sale, a zero-rated export and an out-of-scope item stay distinguishable when the return is assembled.

When you prepare the F5, the platform pulls from posted entries rather than a spreadsheet someone maintains by hand. Your accountant can review the same return before it goes to IRAS, and the working papers stay attached to the period they belong to.

Bank feeds and reconciliation

A bank feed is only useful if it saves keystrokes. Dovaskin connects to your Singapore business accounts, brings transactions in, and lets you match them against invoices, expenses or a rule you set once.

Recurring items, like a monthly software subscription or a rental debit, can be coded automatically after the first match. Anything that does not match cleanly stays in the reconciliation queue where you can see it, rather than disappearing into a suspense account.

During onboarding we confirm which of your accounts connect automatically and which need a statement import.

Payroll, CPF and the MOM side

Payroll in Singapore is not just salaries: it is CPF contributions, employee records, and the employment paperwork MOM expects to be in order. Dovaskin handles payroll runs that post straight into the ledger, so wage cost, employer CPF and employee deductions land in the accounts without a separate journal.

Employee data is held against the payroll record, which makes it easier to produce the figures an accountant or auditor asks for later. If you already use an external payroll bureau, the platform can still hold the resulting entries.

IRAS-ready reporting and the audit file

"IRAS-ready" is a specific claim, not a slogan. It means the platform can produce the audit file format IRAS expects when it asks for your accounting data, with transactions, accounts and tax codes structured the way the file standard requires.

For day-to-day work, the same data drives your management reports: profit and loss, balance sheet, aged receivables and GST summaries. You should not have to export to a spreadsheet and reformat before a filing.

  • Profit and loss
  • Balance sheet
  • Aged receivables
  • GST summaries

Who this fits, and who it does not

A good fit

  • Singapore SMEs with an in-house admin or bookkeeper plus an external accountant.
  • Businesses that have outgrown a desktop package but do not want to hire a full finance department.
  • The services-led model common in Singapore, where an accounting firm or consultant runs the software on the client's behalf.

Where it fits less well

  • You need only a one-off tax filing with no ongoing bookkeeping.
  • Your reporting is entirely non-Singapore and has no GST or CPF dimension.

If either applies, the contact form is still the fastest way to get a straight answer on fit before you commit to anything.

How implementation usually runs

Onboarding starts with a scoping call: which accounting tool you are leaving, how many bank accounts, whether payroll is in scope, and who will use the system day to day.

From there we map your existing chart of accounts into the platform, import opening balances and historical transactions, connect bank feeds, and run a parallel check against your last filed period. Training is hands-on, aimed at the person who will actually post entries.

Read the implementation guide
  1. 1

    Scoping call

    Current tool, bank accounts, payroll scope, and the people who will use the system.

  2. 2

    Chart of accounts mapped

    Your existing structure is rebuilt in the platform so reports still make sense to your accountant.

  3. 3

    Balances and history imported

    Opening balances and historical transactions come across, then feeds are connected.

  4. 4

    Parallel check and training

    We run the numbers against your last filed period, then train the person posting entries.

Support after go-live

The support model matches how Singapore SMEs actually work: an email or phone line to the team that did your setup, not a ticket queue in another timezone. Questions that come up in the first GST cycle are common, and we treat the first filing as part of onboarding rather than a separate engagement.

Over time, most clients move to a lighter support arrangement once the workflows are routine. If your needs change, say you add a second entity or bring payroll in-house, that is a conversation with the same team.

Questions Singapore business owners ask

Does Dovaskin handle GST F5 filing for Singapore businesses?

Yes. GST treatment is set on each transaction, and the F5 return is assembled from posted entries so you are not reconciling a separate spreadsheet before filing.

Which Singapore banks connect for bank feeds?

Dovaskin connects to business accounts at the major Singapore banks. During onboarding we confirm which of your accounts can be connected automatically and which will need a statement import.

Can we run payroll and CPF together with the accounts?

Payroll is available as part of the platform, and runs post into the ledger with employer CPF and employee deductions included, so you avoid a manual journal each month.

What happens to our old accounting data?

We import opening balances and historical transactions from your existing tool during implementation, then run a check against your last filed period before you go live.

Is there local support in Singapore?

Support comes from the same Singapore-based team that handles your implementation. Contact details, including a business phone number, are on the Contact page and in the site footer.
