Explore seven powerful advantages that make SQL Account the go‑to accounting software for Singapore SMEs—from GST compliance to hybrid cloud flexibility.

Introduction: More Than Just Debits & Credits

Choosing accounting software isn’t only about balancing the books and it’s about empowering growth, ensuring compliance, and freeing your team to chase bigger goals. In Singapore’s crowded software market, SQL Account rises above the pack. Here are seven game‑changing reasons it outshines the competition.

1. IRAS & PEPPOL Compliance Baked In

Skip manual workarounds. SQL Account delivers one‑click GST F5 reports and a ready PEPPOL e‑invoicing connector, keeping you compliant without extra add‑ons or spreadsheets.

2. Heavy‑Duty Inventory for Trading

Multi‑warehouse, batch and serial tracking, expiry dates, and BOM all built in for wholesale and distribution. Competitors often charge extra or rely on third‑party plug‑ins; SQL Account serves it standard.

3. Custom Reports That Speak Your Language

Drag‑and‑drop designer, formula fields, and company watermarks let you craft dashboards, invoices, and analysis reports that match your brand and KPIs with no coding required.

4. Hybrid Cloud Freedom with SQL Connect

Run it on‑premise today, move to SQL Connect private‑cloud hosting tomorrow, or enable Remote Desktop sessions for branch teams. You keep full features and data ownership whichever path you choose unlike SaaS “lite” editions.

5. Scalable Performance Powered by Firebird SQL

Legacy FoxPro or shared SaaS databases slow down as your transactions grow. SQL Account’s modern SQL engine handles high volumes smoothly no archiving, no forced upgrades.

6. One‑Time Licence = Lower Long‑Term Costs

Pay once, own it forever. Optional support renewals are a fraction of perpetual SaaS fees, and most advanced modules come standard protecting your cash flow as you scale.

7. Local Expertise & Rapid Support

With Apscom Solutions as your Singapore partner, you get hotline, WhatsApp, and on‑site help in your time zone. Plus we set up the database and import your customer, supplier, and inventory lists so you’re productive from Day One.
