Accounting services in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

Accounting services in Hong Kong cost approximately HK$3,000 to HK$6,000 a year for basic compliance of a small company, and monthly bookkeeping starts near HK$1,000, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Prices move with the number of transactions and the business structure, so the quickest way to a real figure is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the price depends on

• Business size and scope: fees range from about HK$2,000 for freelancers to HK$50,000 or more for enterprise-level firms.
• Transaction volume: several providers price by the number of accounting transactions per month or per year.
• Scope: profits tax work, including the computation and the Profits Tax Return (BIR51), is listed as a separate service from bookkeeping.

Rules and filing deadlines

Local guides say only a practising certified public accountant can sign a company's accounts, so check that status before you hire. Filing late is expensive: the standard HK$105 company filing fee rises to HK$870 for delays of more than 42 days. A business registration fee of HK$2,150 a year also applies to limited companies, and government fees can change, so confirm the current amount with the accountant.

Season and how it is bought

Weather does not drive this service. Hong Kong's winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, and November falls between them, so deadlines matter more than season. Several providers price by transactions, so count them per month before you ask: a plan for up to 130 transactions a year is priced differently from one for up to 250. Ask whether the work can be done online from digital records. If it can, the district matters less, and Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun only matter for a meeting.

What to write in the request

Write the business structure (limited company or sole proprietorship), the number of transactions each month or year, and the services you need: bookkeeping, annual accounts, the profits tax return or salaries tax. State your financial year end, your district, and whether you need a one-off clean-up or a regular monthly service. Your monthly budget helps sellers suggest the right plan.
