Lynqra builds AI agents, automations and small apps for small Singapore accounting, bookkeeping, tax and corporate secretarial practices. The system chases client documents, reads invoices, receipts and statements into draft entries, and tracks every client's filing dates. Your staff review and post, and nothing is filed or sent to a client until someone in your firm approves it.
The valuable work in a small practice is judgement: tax treatment, adjustments and advice. Much of the week goes elsewhere. Each month or quarter, staff chase every client for bank statements, sales and purchase invoices and receipts. Documents arrive late, as photos and forwarded emails, and someone sorts them by client and period before the bookkeeping can start. Then every line is keyed or checked in the accounting software.
Around that sits a calendar that never stops. Each client's financial year end sets its own dates: Estimated Chargeable Income within three months, the AGM within six months unless the company is exempt, and the ACRA annual return within seven months for a non-listed company. Form C-S or Form C is due by 30 November, and each GST return is due one month after its accounting period ends. Since 9 June 2025, the Corporate Service Providers Act has also required firms that provide corporate services to register with ACRA and complete customer due diligence, including verifying beneficial owners, before they act for a client.
The work we see most often in accounting and corporate secretarial firms:
Each one is a separate build with its own fixed quote. Most firms start with one and add the next once it runs.
A chase list for every client and period, reminders drafted in your firm's tone, and documents sorted by client and period as they arrive. Missing items are listed before month end, not after.
Invoices, receipts and statements read into draft entries with supplier, date, amount, GST and a suggested account. Your staff review, correct and post them.
Each client's filing calendar built from its financial year end, with reminders to your staff and the client. New client packs collect identity documents and track due diligence steps for review.
Your team keeps working the way it does today. The system picks up what they send and does the drafting.
Email, WhatsApp photos, shared folders and bank statement downloads. Clients do not have to learn a new portal on the first day.
Each document filed by client and period, then read into a draft entry, a query for the client, or a line on the filing calendar.
Entries, tax treatment, filings and anything sent to a client wait for someone in your firm. The system never posts, files or advises on its own.
Every document, query and deadline sits against the client, so a manager can see which clients are late and what is still open.
Every Lynqra build keeps a person on filings, payments and client commitments. In an accounting or corporate secretarial firm that means your team decides:
The system does the chasing, sorting, reading and reminders. It flags what looks wrong, such as a duplicate invoice, or GST charged on an invoice with no GST registration number. It does not decide.
Accounting software now comes with bank feeds and receipt capture, and practice management tools track jobs and deadlines. If they cover your clients, use them, and we will tell you so in the consult. Firms usually come to us when clients will not use the capture apps, documents still arrive by WhatsApp and email, or the deadline tracker is a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
| Option | Works well when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Email, spreadsheets and your accounting software | A small client base and a partner who knows every deadline | Chasing that depends on memory, and documents scattered across inboxes |
| Receipt capture and practice management tools | Clients use the app and your process matches the tool | Clients who keep sending photos on WhatsApp, and subscription costs per client or per user |
| Automation or a small app from Lynqra | Your software works, but the chasing, sorting and retyping around it do not | It needs one clear first workflow and someone in your firm to own it |
Pick the one workflow that costs your team the most time or money. For most accounting and corporate secretarial firms it is one of these:
If your clients already use bank feeds and a capture app, and your practice tool tracks deadlines, the gap may be too small to justify a build. A few hours of setup in the tools you have may be enough.
We are not an accounting firm, and we do not file or advise for your clients. And if you want entries posted or returns filed with nobody checking, we are the wrong partner.
The same three steps for every firm. You know the scope and the price before any work starts.
Bring one workflow and a real example, such as last month's chase list or one client's pile of documents. We map how it runs today and agree what to automate and what must stay with your team.
You get a written quote and timeline. We build around your templates and the tools your team already uses, and add a small app only where something is missing.
The new flow runs alongside your current one first. We train the people who will run it and watch the first jobs before anything expands.
In systems your firm controls, such as your accounting software, your cloud storage and accounts set up in your firm's name. We agree access, retention and which AI services may process documents with you at the start, so you can meet your PDPA and confidentiality duties.
Yes. Both publish APIs, so the system can create draft entries for your staff to review. For other software, it prepares an import file.
No. It prepares the information and tracks the dates. A person in your firm reviews and files.
It can collect the documents, run the checklist your firm already uses and keep the record together for review. ACRA's guidelines for registered corporate service providers expect due diligence records to be kept for five years after the relationship ends, so the build files them that way. Your firm decides whether to accept the client.
The consult is free. If the workflow is worth building, you get a fixed-scope quote before any work starts.
Funding pathways such as EDGE may be assessed case by case, subject to eligibility and approval. We work with advisory partners on funding and never promise a grant.
