Accounting & Bookkeeping Services in Pakistan
Pakistani businesses must maintain accounting records compliant with the Companies Act 2017 and IFRS as applicable, supporting FBR income tax returns, withholding tax CPR issuance, and provincial sales tax filings with PRA, SRB, or KPRA.
Pakistani businesses must maintain accounting records compliant with the Companies Act 2017 and IFRS as applicable, supporting FBR income tax returns, withholding tax CPR issuance, and provincial sales tax filings with PRA, SRB, or KPRA. Fintax Support Limited manages daily and monthly bookkeeping in PKR on Odoo, QuickBooks, and Zoho, reconciling bank accounts and coding transactions for FBR withholding tax sections (149, 153, 236, etc.). We prepare monthly management accounts and year-end financial statements ready for SECP filing and FBR audit.
Regulatory Framework
FBR requires businesses to maintain books of account for six years under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001. Withholding tax agents must issue Computerized Payment Receipts (CPRs) to deductees and file monthly statements. SECP requires audited financial statements for companies meeting prescribed thresholds, filed with annual returns.

FBR-Compliant Bookkeeping & Record-Keeping
Maintain accounting records that meet Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) requirements under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 for income tax returns, withholding tax CPR issuance, and STRN sales tax compliance.

The Federal Board of Revenue requires all NTN-registered businesses to maintain complete books of account under Section 174 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, accurately reflecting every transaction for at least six years from the end of the relevant tax year. Records must be sufficient to reconstruct income tax returns, withholding tax statements, and STRN sales tax filings submitted through the FBR IRIS portal. SECP-registered companies under the Companies Act 2017 must additionally maintain records supporting ICAP IFRS financial statements filed with annual returns. We configure bookkeeping workflows for sole proprietors, partnerships, AOPs, and private limited companies — ensuring PKR is used as the functional currency with proper foreign exchange translation at State Bank of Pakistan notified rates. Digital storage of tax invoices, contracts, bank statements, and CPR records supports FBR tax audits, provincial revenue authority inspections, and SECP compliance reviews.
Common Questions
IFRS / IFRS for SMEs Financial Statements
Prepare financial statements under IFRS as notified by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP), with IFRS for SMEs applied where eligible. ICAP-compliant statements support SECP annual filing, FBR income tax return attachment, bank covenant reporting, and investor due diligence with PKR as the presentation currency.
ICAP IFRS framework
Statements prepared under IFRS as notified by ICAP, with IFRS for SMEs for qualifying small companies.

SECP-registered companies in Pakistan must prepare financial statements under IFRS as notified by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP), with PKR as the functional and presentation currency unless specific circumstances require otherwise. Small companies meeting SECP prescribed thresholds may apply IFRS for SMEs, which provides reduced disclosure requirements while maintaining core IFRS principles. ICAP-compliant statements are required for SECP annual return filing under the Companies Act 2017, FBR income tax return attachment, and bank lending covenants. Companies meeting audit thresholds must appoint ICAP-member chartered accountants for statutory audit under International Standards on Auditing (ISA). We prepare the full suite of primary statements — statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of cash flows, and statement of changes in equity — with notes covering revenue under IFRS 15, leases under IFRS 16, and related-party disclosures required for FBR transfer pricing documentation.
Common Questions
Withholding Tax Tracking & CPR Reconciliation
Track withholding tax deductions under FBR Sections 149 to 165 and reconcile Computerized Payment Receipts (CPRs) issued through the IRIS portal against your general ledger. Accurate WHT tracking ensures deductees receive valid CPRs for income tax credit claims and your monthly withholding statements reconcile to FBR records without penalty.
Section 149–165 coverage
Deductions tracked for salaries (149), dividends (150), profit on debt (151), contracts (153), and goods/services (236).
CPR issuance via IRIS
Computerized Payment Receipts generated and reconciled through the FBR IRIS portal for every qualifying deduction.
Monthly statement reconciliation
Withholding tax statements filed monthly reconciled to CPR register and nominal ledger WHT accounts.
Agent compliance defence
Complete audit trail for withholding tax agent obligations under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
How It Works
WHT coding framework
Configure nominal accounts and tax codes for each applicable FBR section — 149, 150, 151, 153, 156, and 236.
Transaction classification
Code vendor payments, contractor invoices, and salary disbursements with correct WHT rates and section references.
CPR generation and tracking
Issue CPRs through IRIS for each deduction and maintain a register linking CPR numbers to ledger entries.
Monthly reconciliation
Reconcile WHT payable, CPR issued, and monthly withholding statements before IRIS filing deadline.
WHT coding framework

CPR generation and tracking

Monthly reconciliation
Reconcile WHT payable, CPR issued, and monthly withholding statements before IRIS filing deadline.
Pakistan's withholding tax regime under Sections 149 to 165 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 requires designated withholding agents to deduct tax at source on payments including salaries, dividends, profit on debt, contracts, commissions, and goods and services. Each deduction must be supported by a Computerized Payment Receipt (CPR) issued through the FBR IRIS portal, allowing deductees to claim tax credits on their annual income tax returns. Withholding agents must file monthly statements detailing all deductions and CPRs issued — failure to deduct, issue CPRs, or file statements triggers penalties and potential disallowance of the underlying expense. We configure your accounting system to classify every payment by applicable FBR section, calculate WHT at current rates (including filer versus non-filer differential rates under Section 236), generate CPRs through IRIS, and reconcile the WHT register to your general ledger monthly. This ensures your withholding tax agent obligations are met and deductees receive valid CPRs without delay.
Common Questions
Provincial Sales Tax Input/Output Management
Maintain separate input and output tax registers for provincial sales tax on services with PRA, SRB, KPRA, and BRA, alongside FBR STRN federal sales tax on goods. Provincial sales tax accounting ensures monthly returns reconcile to your general ledger and input tax credits are claimed correctly within each authority's rules.
Multi-authority coverage
Input/output registers for PRA (Punjab), SRB (Sindh), KPRA (KPK), and BRA (Balochistan) provincial sales tax.
STRN federal sales tax
Federal sales tax on goods tracked separately with STRN input/output register for FBR monthly returns.
Cross-authority reconciliation
Provincial and federal tax accounts reconciled monthly to respective return figures before portal submission.
Return-ready trial balance
Nominal accounts mapped to provincial and federal return boxes for accurate monthly filing.
How It Works
Authority registration mapping
Identify applicable provincial registrations — PRA, SRB, KPRA, or BRA — alongside FBR STRN obligations.
Tax coding framework
Configure separate nominal accounts for provincial output tax, input tax, and STRN federal sales tax transactions.
Transaction classification
Code daily sales and purchases with correct provincial or federal tax treatment and applicable rates.

Pakistan operates a dual sales tax system where FBR administers federal sales tax on goods through STRN registration, while provincial revenue authorities levy sales tax on services at varying rates — PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and BRA in Balochistan. Businesses providing services must register with the relevant provincial authority in addition to FBR obligations, maintaining separate input and output tax registers for each jurisdiction. Provincial rates differ — for example, SRB applies 13% on services in Sindh while PRA rates vary by service category in Punjab — and input tax credit rules restrict recovery on certain expenses. We configure your chart of accounts with distinct coding dimensions for each provincial authority and STRN federal sales tax, ensuring monthly returns filed through PRA, SRB, KPRA, BRA, and FBR IRIS portals reconcile directly from your general ledger. Multi-province operators receive consolidated PKR reporting with authority-level tax detail.
Common Questions
Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation
Reconcile PKR, USD, and other currency business accounts against your nominal ledger monthly so cash positions are accurate and FBR records under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 are complete. Bank reconciliation is the foundation of Pakistan-compliant bookkeeping — unreconciled accounts undermine income tax returns, withholding tax CPR registers, and SECP audit submissions.
Multi-currency reconciliation
PKR, USD, GBP, and AED accounts reconciled with foreign exchange gain/loss posted per IAS 21.
Bank feed integration
Statement imports connected to Zoho, QuickBooks, or Odoo for automated transaction recording.
FBR audit defence
Reconciled bank records satisfy Section 174 record-keeping obligations under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
Payment gateway matching
JazzCash, EasyPaisa, PayFast, and international gateway settlements matched to bank deposits with fee separation.
How It Works
Account inventory and feed setup
Catalog all business bank and card accounts across Pakistani and international banks with import configuration.
Monthly statement import
Import bank and card statements with automated transaction matching to existing ledger entries.
Exception resolution
Investigate unmatched items — timing differences, bank charges, WHT deductions, and duplicate postings.

Produce signed reconciliation reports linking bank balances to nominal ledger for FBR and SECP audit trail.

Accurate bank reconciliation is essential for Pakistani businesses subject to FBR scrutiny under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 — unreconciled accounts are a primary trigger for tax audits and expense disallowance. Businesses operating export-import channels maintain PKR operating accounts alongside USD, GBP, or AED foreign currency accounts requiring IAS 21 translation and period-end revaluation at State Bank of Pakistan rates. Payment gateways including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and PayFast generate settlement reports that must be matched to bank deposits with platform fees and WHT deductions separated. We reconcile all business accounts monthly, posting bank charges, interest income, and foreign exchange differences to the correct nominal accounts. Reconciled records support FBR income tax return filing, withholding tax CPR verification, and SECP statutory audit working papers.
Common Questions
Monthly & Quarterly Management Accounts
Receive timely PKR management accounts — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, and KPI dashboards — for informed business decisions between annual SECP filings. Monthly and quarterly management reporting bridges daily bookkeeping and year-end ICAP IFRS statements with FBR tax-aware metrics.

Annual ICAP IFRS financial statements filed with SECP provide a historical snapshot, but Pakistani business owners and investors need timely management information to manage cash flow, pricing, and growth decisions throughout the year. Monthly management accounts in PKR show revenue trends, cost structure, working capital position, and profitability by segment — with tax-aware metrics reflecting FBR advance tax instalments, withholding tax obligations under Sections 149 to 165, and provincial sales tax payables to PRA, SRB, KPRA, or BRA. We establish a structured month-end close process including bank reconciliation, accrual posting, and WHT provision calculations, delivering management packs within 10 business days of period-end. Quarterly reports add rolling cash flow forecasts, budget variance analysis, and KPI dashboards suitable for board meetings, bank covenant reporting, and investor updates.

Pakistani businesses upgrading from manual bookkeeping or outdated desktop software need cloud accounting platforms configured for local tax compliance from the outset. Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online, and Odoo each offer PKR multi-currency support, but require custom configuration for FBR withholding tax sections (149 to 165), STRN federal sales tax, provincial sales tax with PRA/SRB/KPRA/BRA, and EOBI payroll deductions. We implement the platform best suited to your size and industry — Zoho Books for SMEs, QuickBooks for businesses familiar with Intuit ecosystems, and Odoo for operations requiring integrated inventory, manufacturing, or CRM modules. Configuration includes ICAP IFRS-aligned chart of accounts, automated WHT calculation on vendor payments, CPR tracking workflows, and bank feed integration with major Pakistani banks. Data migration preserves historical balances and vendor/customer masters, ensuring continuity for FBR return filing and SECP annual reporting.
Common Questions
eCommerce Bookkeeping (Daraz, Shopify Pakistan)
Reconcile marketplace sales from Daraz, Shopify Pakistan, and other online platforms against PKR bank settlements with correct STRN and provincial sales tax treatment. eCommerce bookkeeping handles platform commissions, return deductions, FBR withholding tax on marketplace payouts, and multi-channel revenue recognition under ICAP IFRS.

Pakistani eCommerce sellers on Daraz, Shopify, and direct-to-consumer platforms face complex bookkeeping — platform settlement reports show gross PKR sales, commission fees, return deductions, and withholding tax on payouts, all of which must reconcile to bank deposits and your general ledger. STRN federal sales tax and provincial sales tax through PRA or SRB apply to online sales depending on product or service category and delivery location. Daraz seller accounting requires matching seller centre payout statements to bank credits, posting gross revenue, platform commissions as operating expenses, and any WHT deducted under applicable FBR sections. Inventory held in Daraz warehouses or self-fulfilled stock requires tracking of inbound shipments, sales, returns, and removal orders with cost of goods sold under ICAP IFRS. We automate marketplace data import into Zoho, QuickBooks, or Odoo, reconcile PKR settlements monthly, and produce channel-level profitability reports supporting FBR income tax returns and provincial sales tax filings.

Growing Pakistani businesses often outgrow basic bookkeeping but cannot justify a full-time CFO — particularly startups scaling on Daraz, export-oriented manufacturers, and multi-branch service companies navigating provincial tax differences across PRA, SRB, KPRA, and BRA. An outsourced CFO provides strategic financial leadership including annual budgeting, rolling PKR forecasts, FBR advance tax planning under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, and cash flow management for monthly WHT and provincial sales tax payments. We oversee monthly close processes, prepare board-ready financial packages, and advise on tax-efficient structures within FBR rules — including filer status optimisation, export processing zone benefits, and EOBI contribution planning. For businesses preparing for investment rounds or bank facilities, we produce ICAP IFRS-aligned financial models and due diligence data rooms. Our fractional model provides senior finance expertise at a fraction of full-time cost, scaling engagement as your business grows across Pakistan.
Common Questions
Clean-Up & Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Reconstruct months or years of incomplete bookkeeping from bank statements, Daraz payout reports, and payment records before FBR filing season or an audit response. Clean-up bookkeeping transforms disorganized PKR records into ICAP IFRS-aligned books that support accurate income tax returns and satisfy FBR documentation requirements under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.

Clean-up and catch-up bookkeeping is essential for Pakistani businesses that have fallen behind on record-keeping — whether due to rapid Daraz seller growth, delayed cloud accounting migration, or deprioritizing back-office tasks during expansion. FBR requires contemporaneous books under Section 174 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, and filing income tax returns from incomplete records risks incorrect deductions, missed income, and penalties during tax audits. We reconstruct transaction history from PKR bank statements, JazzCash and EasyPaisa records, Daraz seller centre payout reports, and payroll data — coding every entry to an ICAP IFRS chart of accounts with correct WHT section references and STRN/provincial sales tax treatment. Common clean-up scenarios include personal expenses mixed with business accounts, unreconciled Daraz payouts, missing CPR records for contractor payments under Section 153, and duplicate entries from manual and automated imports. Once caught up, we deliver a reconciled adjusted trial balance, management accounts for the catch-up period, and a clean baseline for ongoing FBR-compliant monthly bookkeeping.
