Accounting & Bookkeeping
Since 2016, Pinnacle Advisory has delivered expert bookkeeping, VAT filing, payroll management, financial reporting, and audit support — making us one of the best accounting firms in Nepal for businesses of every size.
What is Accounting & Bookkeeping?
Established in 2016, Pinnacle Advisory & Associates has grown into one of the best accounting firms in Nepal — delivering expert bookkeeping, financial reporting, VAT compliance, payroll management, and audit support for businesses across Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and beyond. Over nine years of practice, we have built a reputation for precision, integrity, and a genuine understanding of Nepal's regulatory landscape.
Bookkeeping is the systematic, day-to-day recording of every financial transaction — every sale, purchase, payment, and receipt. Accounting takes that foundation further: it transforms raw records into meaningful financial reports — including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement — that enable you to understand exactly where your business stands and where it is going. Together, bookkeeping and accounting are the backbone of every well-run organisation.
In Nepal's regulatory environment, disciplined accounting is not optional. Under the Income Tax Act 2058, the VAT Act 2052, and the Companies Act 2063, every registered business must maintain proper books of account, file VAT returns on time, manage payroll tax (TDS), and submit audited financial statements annually. Failure to do so attracts IRD penalties, estimated assessments, and complications during tax audits. Our team ensures you are always compliant — and always informed.
Core Services at a Glance
What's Included in Our Accounting & Bookkeeping Service
Bookkeeping & Financial Records
Systematic, day-to-day recording of every financial transaction — sales, purchases, payments, and receipts — with rigorous ledger maintenance and bank reconciliation. We keep your financial records accurate, current, and fully compliant with Nepal's regulatory requirements, giving you a real-time picture of your business at all times.
VAT Filing & Compliance
VAT compliance is one of the most critical — and frequently penalised — obligations for businesses in Nepal. We handle VAT registration, monthly and bi-monthly VAT return filing with the IRD, input/output tax reconciliation, and representation during VAT audits or desk assessments. Our team stays current with every IRD notification and amendment to the VAT Act 2052 so you never miss a deadline.
Tax Compliance & Planning
We manage your full income tax cycle: advance tax calculations, quarterly advance tax filings, annual income tax return preparation, and TDS reconciliation and deposit with the IRD. Beyond compliance, we identify lawful tax-saving opportunities — deductible expenses, depreciation strategies, and timing of income recognition — to reduce your effective tax burden.
Financial Reporting — Balance Sheet & Income Statement
We prepare NFRS-compliant financial statements including the Balance Sheet (statement of financial position), Income Statement (profit & loss), Cash Flow Statement, and Statement of Changes in Equity — along with all required notes to accounts. Our financial reports are prepared to audit-ready standard and present a true and fair view of your financial position.
Payroll Management
End-to-end payroll processing for your workforce: monthly salary computation, TDS deduction and deposit, Provident Fund (PF) and Social Security Fund (SSF) contributions, salary slip generation, and statutory filings on your behalf. We ensure full compliance with Nepal's Labour Act and IRD requirements, eliminating payroll errors and penalties.
Audit Support & Preparation
We prepare your books and records for statutory audit, coordinating directly with your appointed auditor to ensure a smooth, efficient engagement. Our audit-ready financial records, reconciled accounts, and organised supporting documentation minimise disruption to your operations and reduce the risk of audit qualifications or management letter findings.
Management Reporting & Accounts Payable/Receivable
Monthly and quarterly management accounts, budget versus actual variance analysis, cash flow forecasts, and KPI dashboards — giving management the insights needed to make confident, evidence-based decisions. We also manage accounts payable and receivable: vendor payments, customer invoicing, aging reports, and reconciliation to keep your cash flow healthy.

Pricing & Engagement
Our pricing is tailored to your business — there is no one-size-fits-all fee. The factors that shape our engagement fee include:
Business size and transaction volume — the complexity and frequency of transactions, number of bank accounts, and number of legal entities
Scope of services — standalone bookkeeping, VAT filing only, payroll management, full financial statement preparation, or a completely managed accounting function
Reporting frequency — monthly, quarterly, or annual management accounts each carry different effort levels
Software and systems — whether we operate within your existing ERP or accounting software (Tally, QuickBooks, Sage), or set one up for you
Industry-specific compliance — regulated sectors such as banking, NGOs, and development-funded projects require additional compliance layers and reporting formats
We are fully transparent about fees from the outset. Every engagement is governed by a clear engagement letter that defines scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing — before any work begins. No surprises.
