How to hire a accountant pro in Hong Kong
- Note that every HK limited company needs a statutory audit by a HKICPA practising CPA — budget for it
- Confirm the auditor holds a HKICPA practising certificate
- Agree scope: audit, accounts, Profits Tax Return (PTR), Employer's Return
- Get a written engagement letter and fee
- Confirm annual-return filing to the Companies Registry
- Ask about company-secretarial services
Hong Kong requires a statutory audit of every limited company's accounts by a HKICPA-registered practising CPA — there is no small-company audit exemption. Accounts, the Profits Tax Return and annual returns must all be filed; the audit is the largest single cost.

Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should my accountant have?
Look for membership of a recognised professional body (see the country notes below), which brings training standards, regulation, and anti-money-laundering supervision. Anyone can call themselves an 'accountant' in most countries — a chartered/certified designation is the real filter.
Do I need an accountant or can I just use software?
Software (Xero, QuickBooks) handles day-to-day bookkeeping well, but an accountant adds value at year-end for tax filing, compliance and planning. Many businesses run software themselves and pay an accountant only for the annual accounts and tax return.
How do I find a good accountant near me in Mei Foo?
In Mei Foo, ask other business owners for referrals, confirm the firm holds a recognised professional-body membership, and check they know your industry. A short intro call plus a clear fixed-fee proposal beats picking on price alone.
When should I hire an accountant?
Common triggers: incorporating a company, hitting the VAT/GST registration threshold, taking on employees, or spending too many hours on the books yourself. Engaging one before year-end (not the week the return is due) gets you planning value, not just compliance.
What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
A bookkeeper records transactions, reconciles accounts and runs payroll. An accountant prepares statutory accounts, files tax, and advises on structure and planning. Small firms often use a bookkeeper monthly and an accountant annually.
Why does my HK company have to be audited?
The Companies Ordinance requires all limited companies to have audited financial statements each year, regardless of size — Hong Kong has no audit exemption. This drives the bulk of annual accounting cost, so factor it in from incorporation.
