Are you operating an FDI enterprise? Why should you choose Accounting Advisory instead of hiring in-house accountants?
Once you have decided to outsource, you will certainly want to know the service fee structure in order to make the most suitable choice for your needs and budget. In this article, KMC provides a quotation template for accounting services tailored for FDI enterprises—helping you confidently select a reliable and cost-efficient solution.
Should You Choose Outsourced Accounting Services or Hire In-House Accountants?
Below is a comparison between outsourcing accounting services and hiring in-house accountants to help you determine which option best fits your enterprise.
| Criteria | Outsourced Accounting Services | In-House Accounting |
| Expertise | A team of seasoned professionals with extensive experience in tax regulations and compliance—both domestic and international—particularly suitable for FDI enterprises. | Dependent on the qualifications of individual employees, who may lack experience with complex FDI-related regulations. |
| Cost Efficiency | More economical—fixed service fees only; no need to pay salaries, insurance, or employee benefits. | Higher total costs—covering salaries, social insurance, training, and office equipment. |
| Flexibility | Highly flexible—services can be adjusted easily according to the company’s needs, with no human resource management burden. | Less flexible—requires time and effort for recruitment, training, and staff management. |
| Multitasking | Dedicated to specialized accounting tasks, ensuring a high level of accuracy and compliance. | May handle additional internal tasks beyond accounting (e.g., assisting the Director), potentially affecting focus. |
| Multitasking ability | Fast and professional service delivery thanks to a large team and advanced accounting systems. | Efficiency depends on individual capability; workload surges may cause delays. |
| Confidentiality and Liability | Information confidentiality guaranteed; the service provider assumes legal responsibility for any errors or noncompliance. | The enterprise itself bears full responsibility for any errors caused by internal staff. |
| Continuity | No disruption in operations when personnel changes occur—replacement staff are always available. | Risk of disruption if employees resign or require time for recruitment and training. |
Why Should FDI Enterprises Choose Outsourced Accounting Services?
For FDI enterprises, outsourced accounting services are often the more suitable choice due to their specialized expertise, cost efficiency, and flexibility.
If you are concerned about Vietnam’s complex legal and tax regulations, a professional outsourced accounting team will help ensure full compliance, minimizing tax and financial risks.
In contrast, in-house accounting may be appropriate for enterprises that require multi-tasking staff or aim to build a long-term internal accounting team.
Key Factors That Shape the Accounting Service Quotation for FDI Enterprises
Scale of the Enterprise
Each enterprise has unique characteristics depending on its size.
- Small FDI enterprises generally have fewer financial transactions and simpler accounting operations (e.g., limited invoices, fewer complex transactions). Their service quotation tends to be concise, focusing on essential tasks such as tax declaration and basic bookkeeping, which also means a more affordable cost.
- Medium and large FDI enterprises, on the other hand, handle a larger volume of transactions and more complex financial data—such as cross-border transactions, multi-branch operations, and consolidated financial reporting.
As a result, the quotation structure becomes more comprehensive, covering areas like general accounting, financial consulting, and cash flow analysis. The corresponding cost will be higher, reflecting the expanded service scope required by such enterprises.
Type of Accounting Service Required
Each FDI enterprise has different needs, which directly affect the quotation. Specifically:
Tax Accounting
Includes preparation and filing of VAT, Corporate Income Tax (CIT), and Personal Income Tax (PIT). This basic service ensures full compliance with Vietnamese tax regulations.
Internal Accounting
Focuses on bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, and cash flow management, enabling the enterprise to maintain clear oversight of its internal financial position.
Comprehensive (General) Accounting
A full-service package that includes tax accounting, financial reporting, and strategic financial advisory.
Although this package has a higher fee, it allows FDI enterprises to optimize their financial systems and enhance operational efficiency in the long term.
