Osome is a Singapore-headquartered corporate services and accounting firm founded in 2017. It competes directly with Sleek in the Asia-Pacific automation space, but differentiates through broader multi-jurisdiction coverage — Singapore, Hong Kong, UK, and (more recently) US. Osome's distinguishing feature is multi-currency accounting automation integrated with Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, Amazon, and Shopify.
For online businesses that operate across multiple jurisdictions and currencies — a typical SaaS company with Singapore Pte Ltd for APAC, UK Ltd for EU, and Stripe/Amazon revenue streams — Osome's cross-platform automation is genuinely differentiated. For single-jurisdiction founders, Sleek or a local firm usually edges ahead on depth.
Osome's coverage
| Jurisdiction | Incorporation | Accounting | Tax filing | Corporate secretary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | Yes | Yes | Yes (GST, corporate tax) | Yes |
| Hong Kong | Yes | Yes | Yes (profits tax, employer return) | Yes |
| UK | Yes (Ltd) | Yes | Yes (VAT, corporation tax) | Yes |
| US (Delaware) | Yes (LLC and C-corp) | Yes (basic) | Limited (coordinate with US CPA for deep US tax) | Registered agent only |
Pricing structure
Osome's pricing is tiered by both jurisdiction and service level. Representative bundles:
| Bundle | Year-1 annual cost (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Singapore Pte Ltd + annual compliance | S$1,500-3,500 |
| Singapore Pte Ltd + full accounting (monthly) | S$3,500-6,000+ |
| Hong Kong Limited + compliance | HK$10,000-18,000 |
| UK Ltd + compliance | £500-1,200 |
| Delaware LLC + registered agent | USD $300-600 |
Osome positions between pure-DIY and traditional CPA firm pricing. Year-1 Singapore equivalent to Sleek; ongoing fees sometimes slightly higher for full-stack accounting.
The accounting automation pitch
Osome's strongest technical differentiator is how it handles transaction sync and categorization:
- Direct integrations with Stripe, PayPal, Wise, Aspire, DBS, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Revolut. Transaction imports happen automatically; reconciliation is typically same-day.
- Amazon and Shopify data integration. Sales data syncs with SKU-level breakdowns for US e-commerce founders using an international structure.
- Multi-currency ledger support. A company operating in SGD, USD, and EUR simultaneously can track each currency natively without FX conversions clouding the accounting.
- AI-assisted transaction categorization. Routine expenses are auto-categorized; complex items are surfaced for review.
- Management dashboard. Monthly P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, cashburn/runway all in one interface — typically produced within 5 business days of month-end.
Who should use Osome
- Multi-jurisdiction founders. A UK Ltd + Singapore Pte Ltd + Stripe/Amazon revenue setup is Osome's home turf.
- E-commerce operators with multi-platform sales. Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, and marketplace integrations are deeper at Osome than most traditional firms.
- SaaS companies with Stripe as primary revenue. Stripe reconciliation is first-class.
- Founders prioritizing monthly close speed. Osome's management dashboard typically closes faster than traditional CPA firms.
Who should not
- Complex US tax situations — Osome's US capability is lighter than a dedicated US CPA. Pair Osome with a US tax specialist for Subpart F, GILTI, 5471 reporting.
- Founders who need on-the-ground presence in a specific jurisdiction — Osome is online-first; complex local issues may need a local firm.
- Low-transaction-volume businesses — the automation value is proportional to transaction count; a 10-transaction-per-month business doesn't see much differentiation from Osome.
- Founders who want a traditional CPA relationship — Osome is deliberately automation-first; if you want weekly calls with a dedicated accountant, traditional firms are a better fit.

Power user tips
- Bundle multi-year prepay for discounts. Osome typically offers 10-20% discount for 12-month prepayment on accounting packages.
- Integrate on day 1. Delaying Stripe / Amazon integration to month 3 creates a backdated cleanup project. Connect accounts the week of incorporation.
- Use the multi-entity consolidation view. Founders with multiple entities can see consolidated P&L across jurisdictions — useful for investor reporting.
- Request the month-end checklist template. Osome provides standardized checklists for specific business types; request the SaaS or e-commerce template explicitly.
Common pitfalls
- Assuming US tax coverage is complete. Osome's US offering is basic. For US tax returns (1120, 5471, K-1s, etc.), coordinate with a dedicated US CPA.
- Expecting UK VAT to handle itself. UK VAT has specific rules (distance selling, reverse charge, OSS) that require affirmative decisions. Ensure Osome's team understands your UK VAT status before starting sales.
- Missing deadlines while waiting for monthly close. Monthly close produces the reports; deadline compliance is separate. Confirm filing deadlines (annual returns, VAT, GST, corporate tax) independently.
- Not connecting all revenue sources. Revenue from one platform not connected to Osome creates manual reconciliation work. Connect everything upfront.
FAQ
Can Osome handle a multi-entity group?
Yes. Parent-subsidiary relationships (Delaware C-corp owning Singapore Pte Ltd, for example) are supported. Consolidation reports are available at higher-tier plans.
Does Osome help with US LLC formation?
Yes, Delaware LLC formation is available at entry pricing (~USD $300-500 year 1). The US accounting capability is lighter than SG/HK/UK; typically works best for US entities owned by foreign operations where US is a support jurisdiction rather than primary.
How good is Osome's customer support?
Generally responsive within 1 business day for standard plans; dedicated account manager on enterprise plans. Response quality varies by jurisdiction — SG and HK teams are typically fastest.
Does Osome file tax returns or just prepare them?
Files them. For Singapore (GST, corporate tax), Hong Kong (profits tax, employer's return), UK (VAT, corporation tax), Osome submits directly.
Can I leave Osome mid-year?
Yes, with typical 30-60 day notice on annual plans. Data export is supported — you can transition to another accountant with full historical data intact.
