01
Business registration & secretarial services
We act as company secretary and attend to the formalities set by the Registrar of Companies and other authorities. That includes incorporation, registration of a name or trademark, filing of annual returns, share issues and transfers, and board meetings.
We also provide recruitment for placements in Sri Lanka and overseas, and help register companies as Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI) approved ventures. Company secretarial services are currently provided to more than 300 clients.
Payroll is available for clients who want the work kept confidential and kept in line with PAYE, the Employees’ Provident Fund, and the Employees’ Trust Fund.
02
Accounting & auditing
The audit and accountancy practice is managed by partners who are members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka. Audit managers plan the work, carry it out, and supervise it.
Quality is governed by the Sri Lanka Auditing Standards and the Sri Lanka Accounting Standards laid down by the Institute. We recommend that clients comply with the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007 and the other statutory requirements that govern their business. Audits are carried out with an audit manual based on the guidance recommended by CA Sri Lanka, so the work stays consistent with those standards and procedures.
We run in-house courses and workshops to keep the skills of our staff current, and people from the practice attend seminars in Sri Lanka and overseas.
03
Taxation
A partner who specialises in tax leads this division. The emphasis is on planning ahead, so that reliefs, exemptions, and concessions that are available are claimed. Clients include companies and individuals. We also advise foreign investors on tax relief and incentives for doing business in Sri Lanka.

Software solutions, training & recruitment

Recruitment for placements in Sri Lanka and overseas is handled with the secretarial practice described above.
08
Tailor-made AI-powered ERP
We build and install Smart Biz, our tailor-made ERP. Inventory, sales, purchasing, and invoicing are shaped around the way the business already works, with AI inside the daily workflow.
The system can run in the cloud, on your own servers, or as an offline app. It includes barcode scanning, and sales and invoicing can be integrated with SAGE Accounts. Staff ask questions of their own business data from inside the application. Where AI drafts a support reply, a member of staff approves it before anything is sent.
