The best platform depends on your business size, industry, and needs. Xero is market-leading in Hong Kong with strong bank feed connectivity and multi-currency capability. QuickBooks Online offers competitive pricing with robust features. Sage Business Cloud Accounting suits businesses requiring advanced inventory management. CityLinkers evaluates your specific requirements and recommends the optimal solution during our assessment phase.
Yes, provided records are complete, accurate, and accessible when required by the IRD. Section 51C of the Inland Revenue Ordinance requires businesses to keep sufficient records in English or Chinese for at least seven years. Cloud platforms maintain audit trails, document attachments, and historical data. CityLinkers configures the system to meet Hong Kong regulatory requirements, including proper data backup and export capabilities.
Implementation timelines vary by business complexity. A small business with straightforward accounting may go live within 2-4 weeks. Mid-sized businesses with inventory, multi-currency, and complex chart of accounts typically take 4-8 weeks. Larger or multi-entity implementations may take 8-12 weeks. CityLinkers provides a detailed project timeline during the assessment phase.
Yes, data migration is a core part of the implementation process. Historical opening balances, chart of accounts, customer and supplier lists, and transactional data can be migrated from legacy systems or Excel-based records. CityLinkers manages the migration process, ensuring data integrity through reconciliation at each stage. We can migrate from common systems like MYOB, Peachtree, and older QuickBooks desktop versions.
We provide post-implementation support including system health checks, user refresher training, report customisation, troubleshooting, and software update management. We also offer managed accounting services where our team handles day-to-day bookkeeping in your cloud platform, producing management accounts and reports on a monthly or quarterly basis. Support packages are tailored to each client's needs.
Leading cloud accounting platforms employ bank-grade security including 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, AES encryption for data at rest, multi-factor authentication, and geographically redundant data centres. Data is backed up continuously. Security is typically superior to on-premises servers maintained by small businesses. CityLinkers advises on user access controls and security best practices.
Yes, with proper configuration. Features such as profits tax rate application, capital allowance schedules, employer return data extraction, and audit trail maintenance can all be configured. CityLinkers ensures the platform is set up for Hong Kong tax compliance from day one, including custom tax codes, IRD-compliant chart of accounts, and reports formatted for tax computation purposes.
