Prices are quoted monthly, and they depend on the transaction volume, how complex the business is and what reports you need. Ask for the fee in writing before you agree.
Licences and government fees
A tax agent must be approved by the Ministry of Finance, and the approval application costs RM 200. An audit needs its own approval from the Accountant General's Department, with an application fee of RM 500. Ask to see the approval that applies to the work you need before you hire anyone.
Season and filing dates
Malaysia's climate is tropical, so the weather does not change demand for accounting. The calendar does: filing on time helps avoid penalties, so arrange the work before the deadline rather than after it.
How it is bought here
Fees follow the amount of paperwork. A common question in local discussions is whether RM 500 a month is reasonable for 15 to 20 pages of bank statements, which shows how much the volume changes the price. Ask whether the firm works from uploaded documents or needs in-person visits, because that choice affects the monthly fee more than your city does, whether you are in Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam.
What to write in the request
State whether you are a sole proprietor or run a Sdn Bhd, roughly how many transactions you have each month, and whether you need one-off or regular work. Add your city and your monthly budget. These are the details sellers use to price the work.
