Here’s what our customers say

I'm very satisfied with their services, flexibility, and reactivity.

Yannick Andre Martial Guyot

Yannick Andre Martial Guyot HK TALENTS Limited

East river is reasonably priced and very convenient. I ended up signing my documents while I was on the metro!

Randeep Sudan

Randeep Sudan Multivertz Pte. Ltd.

Everything was so seamless, it even looked like a fraud 😀 I didn’t have to go anywhere, I just use the web and mobile app to sign the docs.

Ivan Zeljkovic

Ivan Zeljkovic Evans Media Pte. Ltd.

I’m actually surprised they kept all their promises! I found East river on Friday and on Monday morning everything was ready.

John Lim

John Lim Artac Pte. Ltd.

Many accountants I reached out to either never responded or charged extortionate amounts of money. I joined East river and I'm incredibly happy I did.

Pawel Wargan

Pawel Wargan freelancer

They use the East river app to gently nudge me to send in paperwork, and they provide me with regular updates and reminders regarding finances and filing deadlines.

Q&A

  • How much do your bookkeeping services cost?

    We build our packages based on your company's size: you pay for the number of transactions you have each month. This way you don't have to pay for services you don't need and it's easy to switch when you want to scale.

  • How do you do bookkeeping for small business?

    Send us your receipts and invoices in any format they have them, like emails, scans or phone pictures. If anything is amiss, East river platform highlights the transaction and sends a notification straight away. You won’t have to spend hours at the end of the month trying to find long-forgotten documents.

  • What bookkeeping services do you provide?

    We collect all supporting documents and categorise them into corresponding accounts. Every day we connect to Xero and your banks to reconcile incoming documents with transactions. If a document is missing, we reach out to you on the same day. This way you won’t have to wait for the books to be ready at the end of the month: you can always rely on the data we provide.

  • Which bookkeeping software do you use?

    We have our own platform that you can access from a desktop or mobile device. You can send the docs easily, have your files stored and sorted out, and ask questions 24/7. We are integrated with Xero — accounting solution for small and medium businesses used by 2 million clients worldwide. East river is Xero's platinum partner and an approved app. The migration takes just a few minutes and we make it happen ourselves.

  • Is it hard to migrate to Xero from Quickbooks or Sage?

    Transferring to Xero is easy and free. You'll need to download a CSV file containing your data from the current provider and send it to us. We'll take care of the rest: upload it into Xero and set up your new account.

  • What does a bookkeeper do?

    Bookkeeping means literally making sure invoices and slips don’t get lost. In business, every time you move money or assets, like when you buy or sell something, there’s some sort of document tracking that action. It is bookkeeper’s job to collect, categorise, and reconcile them.

  • What are the bookkeeping duties?

    The bookkeeper is in charge of document organisation. If your docs are in chaos, you might miss an invoice, or assign a wrong account. If that mistake goes into your reports unnoticed, you might file taxes incorrectly: pay more, or worse, get fined. If the accountant finds the mistake, it will take time to go back and fix it, which might result in paying a hire fee.

How bookkeeping with East river works

How bookkeeping with East river works

When you start a business, bookkeeping services in Hong Kong is the last thing on your mind. We wanted to offer bookkeeping for startups that would free the entrepreneur from the routine and help you see the real-time picture.

We created software that processes docs automatically, while our experts back the algorithm and answer questions. Now outsourcing bookkeeping makes sense: you get to see your books every day, not in the end of the month. You won’t have to waste time weeks after to find a missing invoice — we chase every document within 24 hours, while you can still recall what it was. Most importantly, you get to see your financials daily. We gather all the data in a dashboard. See you bank balance, all the bills you have to pay and the ones that your counterparts owe you, and plan your cashflow.

We do bookkeeping online on a convenient platform. All your documents get stored in one place, making it easy to find them. Uploading won’t take much of your time, either. Simply take a picture with your phone, or drag and drop a file on your laptop. Better still, you can forward an email with invoices attached — we will open and save it in your account automatically. You just watch it magically appear in the right place, with the right tags, matched to the correct transaction.

We know that offering bookkeeping services for small business means you don’t have much time for it. So, we make sure we don’t waste it. Whenever you have a minute or a question, we answer fast. Our experts respond fast online, even late at night and on weekends. We know your business hours are dedicated to doing your business. We’re here to help take bookkeeping off your plate.
