What Our Clients Say

Mr. Venkat Krishnan

It was a wonderful experience. SBS Consulting assigned a dedicated resource to oversee the registration my Singapore company. They answered all my questions and found solutions to the difficulties. Yes, I am going to recommend them to my friends and associates.

Mr. Jean Lee

It was a pleasure working with accountant assigned to me by SBS Consulting. The firm really delivers what it promises. They took care of the annual filing of my small firm. There was no mistakes and no delays. It was my first interaction with SBS, and I am going to use them again.

Mr. Alan Tan

Recently, I outsourced payroll processing for my business to SBS Consulting. Then, I realized what a stress it was. I was spending too much time on it. For the first payroll (under SBS supervision) I was a bit worried as I did not know whether they will be able to handle it or not. But it just went smooth. No complaints from any of my employees.
