Let us introduce ourselves
A reimagined CPA and business advisory experience, ready for tomorrow.
A dedicated team
We’re passionate about our craft and technology, but mostly we find purpose in helping you succeed.
At Corefin, we only hire people who are passionate, business minded and who loves to use technology to help people. Accounting qualifications are a must. All our team members are either Chartered Accountants or possessing at least a university degree and a professional certification in accounting. They gained experience in either financial, audit, ERP implementation consulting or in multinational corporations prior to joining us.
Our special value lies in our localized expertise rooted in Chinese business context. Stemming from our extensive experience gained in serving foreign businesses in China, we help address common risks and pitfalls and minimize them early on, resulting in money saved for you.
Cutting-edge technology
We bring together efficient applications to automate your financial operations.
We provide you an industry-leading SaaS technology stack, turnkey-ready and customized to provide the real-time data you need to power faster, smarter decisions.
You will appreciate our technology, but you’ll love how our automated solutions streamline bank reconciliation, fast coding classification and business transaction mapping.
Always be investor ready and free yourself from the burdens of worrying about accrual, GAAP and calculating metrics. We customize our tools for that.
Expertise you need on-demand
We offer on-demand access to the expertise and advice you need with cost saving efficiencies on your payroll count.
True strategic advice creates more value than it expends, but as a smaller business you shouldn’t have to incur the cost of full-time staff before you’re ready.
We believe being an accountant is much more than just compliance, and we understand the challenges faced by business owners. This belief is why we serve as your partners, who will help you build a financially successful business.
Our first approach is to understand your business, how you operate, the challenges you face. Then we propose, tailor-make, integrate and implements the right solution for you. Ultimately, we deploy it to your organization.
The challenge
Our goal is to provide solutions through innovation
We want to change the way accounting and advisory services are traditionally offered in China. We are passionate, business minded and technologically savvy. We recommend and implement suitable apps for businesses. Through us, businesses gain valuable insights into how their business is performing via dashboards and regular business analysis meetings.
Tying financials to operations is one of the most common challenges professional services businesses face. Get the real-time, actionable data and advice you need to grow and evaluate your workforce, understand project pricing, drive down costs, manage profitability, monitor ageing and ensure timely payment.
