About JM Atelier

We're JM Atelier, a young, modern corporate services firm that helps small businesses, startups, and the founders behind them set up andrun smoothly in Singapore. "JM" comes from the French Jeune Moderne, meaning young and modern, and an atelier is a workshop built around craft. We started in 2024 to fill a gap we kept seeing: people who want genuinely bespoke, attentive service without paying a fortune for it. By using automation that much of our industry has been slow to adopt, we give you the personal feel of a boutique firm at a fair and transparent price. We aren't the cheapest option, and we don't pretend to be. We aim to be the most thorough, and we'll always explain exactly what your situation needs, and what it costs, before you commit to anything. Who looks after you. Our work is led by Connie, a Chartered Secretary with the Chartered Secretaries Institute of Singapore (CSIS) who holds a Master of Corporate Governance. She has served as named company secretary for over 45 Singapore companies, built a corporate secretarial practice from the ground up, and previously lectured in Company Law and Corporate Governance. Working with her, our team includes an Accredited Tax Practitioner (ATP) and an accountant completing the Singapore CA Qualification, so your filings, tax, and statutory work sit in properly qualified hands. Who we're for. Whether you are a local entrepreneur, an overseas founder, or an expat setting up here, the process is essentially the same with us. The main difference for overseas founders is appointing a nominee director to meet Singapore's resident director requirement, which we can arrange. We work best with small businesses and startups, and we've supported clients across F&B, consulting, dental, social enterprises, and media, mostly service businesses we know well. If you run a larger company whose volume really calls for an accountant on staff, we'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere better suited. How we work. We're fully remote and based in Hougang, though we aren't tied to it. We'll come to you, at your office or a nearby café, anywhere in Singapore. The core work, meaning corporate compliance, accounting, and tax, we handle ourselves. For anything beyond that, such as legal and contracts, personal insurance, real estate, or HR and employment passes, we'll introduce you to partners we've trusted for years. Those introductions are optional, the partners handle their own work, and we'll tell you if we receive a referral fee. Our aim is to be your single, easy point of contact in Singapore, so setting up here feels bespoke rather than stressful. We speak English, Mandarin, and some Malay, and we're glad to work across most time zones. Getting started. The first step is a free consultation that runs about 30 minutes, usually on Google Meet (in person is available for a small fee). Beforehand we'll send a short form so we can check we're the right fit for each other. To begin, just reach out through the WhatsApp button on our profile, or we'll follow up with you.

We work on secure commercial platforms (Xero, Aspire, and Lark), follow Data Protection Officer guidelines, and keep sensitive information strictly confidential, accessible only to authorised personnel directly involved with your account. Services: We aim to be your single, easy point of contact for setting up and running a company in Singapore. We handle your accounting and compliance ourselves, and connect you to trusted partners for everything else. Here is what we do, grouped by what you might need. For the full details and pricing, visit our website. If you just need your personal tax filed: Personal income tax filing for individuals, including expats and the self employed, covering situations such as foreign income or overseas equity compensation. If you also need IR8A filing and your employer is unable to do it, we can assist with that too. If you are setting up a new company: We register your Singapore company correctly the first time: preparing your documents and resolutions, applying for your company name, registering with ACRA, setting up CorpPass, and updating your statutory records. The process is essentially the same whether you are local, an overseas founder, or an expat. Overseas founders also need a local resident director, which we can provide through a nominee director arrangement. If you are running a company: The ongoing work that keeps your company compliant and your finances clear. Corporate secretarial: A resident company secretary, your AGM and Annual Return filings, and one off changes such as a change of director or address. Bookkeeping and reporting: Transaction recording, bank reconciliation, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and management reports, at the frequency that suits you, whether weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual. Year end tax and statutory filing: Corporate tax computation and filing, financial statements, and XBRL submission in the format your company requires.
