How a remote retainership model covering tax, SECP, bookkeeping, and advisory can keep your business compliant without an in-house team.
Growing businesses face an increasing burden of regulatory compliance — tax filings, SECP returns, bookkeeping, and strategic planning. Hiring in-house specialists for each area is expensive and often impractical for SMEs. Corporate retainership offers a smarter alternative.
What is Corporate Retainership?
Corporate retainership is a monthly service model where a firm like WeFile handles all your compliance and financial management needs for a fixed monthly fee. It covers taxation, corporate compliance, bookkeeping, and advisory services — essentially giving you an entire finance department without the overhead.
The Remote Advantage
With cloud-based tools and digital communication, retainership services can be delivered entirely remotely. You get the same quality of service as having an in-house team, but with greater flexibility, specialized expertise, and lower costs. Our team integrates seamlessly with your operations through shared platforms and regular check-ins.
What's Included
A typical WeFile retainership covers monthly bookkeeping, quarterly tax filings, annual income tax returns, SECP annual filings, sales tax returns, payroll management, and on-demand advisory support. The scope is customized based on your business size and complexity.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
An in-house accountant in Pakistan costs PKR 80,000–150,000 per month in salary alone, plus benefits and overheads. A retainership covering a broader range of services typically costs significantly less. More importantly, you get a team of specialists rather than a single generalist.
