Our accounting team is based in our law firm in downtown Khon Kaen.

Many businesses in Khon Kaen start as family businesses: wholesalers, construction material shops, contractors, clinics, or restaurants around universities. They gradually register as companies when major business partners start asking for tax invoices. Almost every one of them faces the same problems: the accounting method is still the old style from when they were sole proprietors, company money and owner's money are still mixed in one account, and a number of receipts are still issued in the owner's name instead of the company's name. We take on accounting for Khon Kaen businesses by first separating these two pockets, then setting up a monthly work cycle that is realistic for the staff they have. Our office has been in Khon Kaen since 1986, so clients who want to talk face-to-face can come by the office rather than only communicating through a screen.

Construction Contractors: Where Accounting Often Falls Apart

Contracting work in the area typically uses subcontractors and daily-wage labor, and payments are made in cash on site more often than in other types of business. The result is that the biggest expense item of the business is the one with the least documentation. Another issue is withholding tax on payments for work performed, which is often forgotten when the subcontractor is an acquaintance. What we set up from the first month is a practical on-site payment form for foremen and a method for issuing withholding tax certificates without having to wait to come back to the office.

From Shop to Company: When Accounting Lags Behind

The turning point that forces a Khon Kaen business to go fully formal is usually not sales volume, but the day a major partner or government agency starts asking for tax invoices. From that day on, the business must have purchase documents, sales documents, and continuous monthly filing. If you let a gap of a few months happen during that transition, fixing it later often costs far more than doing it right from the start. That's why we review before you register: when to register for VAT and when to start running the document system.
