Frequently Asked Questions

Services & Scope

What services does Alboré provide?

Alboré Accountants covers the full finance function: accounting (financial statements, management reporting and forecasting), bookkeeping (day-to-day transaction recording, payables and receivables, cloud ledgers), tax & compliance (corporate tax, transfer pricing, VAT registration and returns, ESR/UBO/AML-KYC), financial advisory (fractional CFO leadership, cash flow and funding support, valuations, modeling and feasibility studies) and audit firm support (back-office working papers, lead schedules, testing and file finalisation for audit and CPA firms).

Do you work with international businesses?

Yes. Alboré serves businesses across global markets. Our processes are built around international reporting and compliance standards, and we support clients with multi-jurisdiction operations, filings and group structures.

Can you support our existing audit firm?

Yes. Our audit firm support team works behind the scenes for audit and CPA practices, preparing working papers, lead schedules, testing and confirmations, and finalising files to professional standards.

Working With Alboré

Who will handle our accounts?

Every client is assigned a named senior accountant who owns your numbers end to end. You always know who is answering for your books. No ticket queues, no rotating contacts.

How do you onboard a new client?

We start with a discovery call to understand your business, review your records and current setup, then agree a transition plan: what we take over, when, and what we need from you. Most clients are fully onboarded within two to four weeks.

Can you take over part-way through the financial year?

Yes. We regularly take over mid-year engagements, including catch-up and clean-up of historical books, so your records are current before the next filing deadline.

Which accounting software do you support?

We work with the major cloud accounting platforms and maintain clean, reconciled ledgers on whichever system suits your business. If you are on desktop tools or spreadsheets, we will manage the migration.

What does onboarding look like?

A discovery call, a signed NDA and secure access set up, a review of your records, then a fixed-fee proposal. Most clients are fully onboarded within two to four weeks.

Which time zones do you work in?

We are based in Lahore, Pakistan, and our working day overlaps with US, UK, EU, Gulf and Asia business hours. We agree a regular overlap window at onboarding.

Security & Data

How do you keep our data secure?

Every engagement starts with a signed NDA. Your records are kept in a secure, access-controlled vault, access is limited to your named team, and files are never downloaded to local devices.

Fees & Compliance

How much do your services cost?

Retainers from US$1,000 to 1,500 per month plus taxes, depending on scope. Bookkeeping clients receive 50% off tax filing.

How are your fees structured?

Fixed monthly retainers agreed upfront. No surprise hourly billing. Your retainer covers the agreed scope, and any additional work is quoted and approved before it starts.

How do you keep us compliant?

Every client runs on a compliance calendar: statutory deadlines are tracked, prepared early and filed on time. You receive timely reminders and status updates, so nothing is left to the last week.

Is our financial data secure?

Yes. Your records are handled through secure, access-controlled cloud platforms, confidentiality is contractual, and only your dedicated team can access your files.
