12. FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Which businesses are required to have a chief accountant?

According to current regulations, businesses classified as medium and large according to the Accounting Law must appoint a chief accountant. If your company has not yet determined which category it falls into, PMH will provide free consultation based on your revenue, total assets, and number of employees.

What are the differences between hiring an external chief accountant and hiring an in-house chief accountant?

Internal: The chief accountant works full- ‑time and is deeply involved in the company’s daily operations. Outsourced (service): The service provider assigns a certified chief accountant to sign reports, supervise, and advise under contract — suitable for businesses that want to save costs while still ensuring quality and compliance with regulations.

Does the chief accountant have the authority to sign financial statements?

Yes. The chief accountant is legally responsible for the financial statements. In the case of outsourced services, the chief accountant assigned by the service provider will sign off on the reports within the scope agreed upon in the contract.

How are the fees for chief accountant services calculated?

Services are typically priced on a monthly or negotiated basis, depending on the volume of documents, the complexity of the accounting records, the frequency of report signing (monthly/quarterly/annually), and any additional requirements (e.g., representation with tax authorities, preparation of consolidated reports). PMH will provide a quote after an on-site survey.

What is the service implementation timeframe, from contract signing to the chief accountant’s handover?

Typically 2–4 weeks: the first week for system survey, the second week for contract drafting and assignment, and weeks 3–4 for implementation, handover of accounting records, and internal staff training. The timeframe may be longer if extensive record revisions are required or if the company requests a software upgrade.

What happens if a company doesn’t appoint a chief accountant?

Besides legal risks (potential administrative penalties under the regulations in effect at the time of inspection), businesses also face risks such as: invalid financial statements, loss of credibility with auditors/tax authorities, and potential impact on business operations. Note: the specific penalty amount needs to be verified against current legal documents before application.

How do I choose the right service package?

Consider the company size, monthly document volume, reporting signing needs (monthly/quarterly/annually), level of support required during audits, and budget. Generally: the basic package is suitable for startups; the standard package for medium-sized businesses; and the advanced package for large businesses/FDI companies or when comprehensive representation with government agencies is needed.
