Published 2025-2026 Malaysian fee guides put bookkeeping at roughly RM150-500/month for a simple sole proprietor, RM800-1,000 for a micro Sdn Bhd, RM1,000-2,000 for a medium SME, and RM2,000-4,500+ for high-volume businesses, with tax filing and audit usually billed separately. Fees are under real pressure right now as audit exemption removes revenue and a staff shortage limits how much lower-margin bookkeeping work firms can absorb.
Published Malaysian fee guides generally point to the same handful of factors: how many transactions a business generates each month, the size and complexity of the business itself, which accounting software is involved, how often reports are needed, and the industry, since sectors like construction and retail tend to carry more documentation per transaction than a simple services business.
Two independent published guides land in a similar range. One 2025 guide puts micro or small businesses with minimal transactions at RM800-1,000 a month, medium-sized companies at RM1,000-2,000, and larger or high-volume businesses at RM2,000 or more, with fees overall spanning roughly RM800 to RM3,000 a month. A separate published breakdown puts the simplest sole proprietor accounts, with very few documents and no audit requirement, as low as RM150-500 a month, before scaling up through the same micro, medium and high-volume bands.
| Business type | Typical monthly range |
|---|---|
| Sole proprietor, minimal documents | RM150-500 |
| Micro Sdn Bhd | RM800-1,000 |
| Medium SME | RM1,000-2,000 |
| High-volume SME | RM2,000-4,500+ |
Ranges above are drawn from published fee guides current as of late 2025, not a Krani price list. Actual quotes vary by firm and by the specifics of the business.
Some firms price bookkeeping per transaction rather than as a flat monthly fee, generally somewhere in the RM3.20-7.50 range per entry. This model is usually only recommended for businesses under about 30 transactions a month; above that, a flat monthly fee tends to work out simpler for both sides to budget around.
Bookkeeping fees typically don't include everything a business needs. Annual tax filing is commonly billed on top, often RM300-1,500 depending on complexity, and a statutory audit, for companies that still require one, separately again, often RM2,500-8,000 or more.
Two things are happening to Malaysian SMPs at the same time. Audit exemption under SSM PD 10/2024 is removing a reliable revenue line for many firms, pushing them toward outsourced bookkeeping and advisory work to replace it. At the same time, a real staff shortage means taking on more of that lower-margin bookkeeping work with the same headcount is genuinely difficult. That combination is exactly why the manual data-entry layer behind bookkeeping, receipts and bank statements, matters more now than it did when audit fees were carrying more of a firm's revenue.
Krani doesn't set what a firm charges its clients, but it does change what it costs the firm to deliver bookkeeping: credits are 1 per receipt or invoice and 3 per bank statement page, with plans published from RM200/month, rather than scaling with headcount.
