No match. Try another name.
"Listed from" and "Est. grant" are the starting price and estimated grant shown for each package in the IMDA SMEs Go Digital directory, before GST. "After grant" is the difference. Your package, headcount and outlets change the price, and your Letter of Offer sets the grant. Reviews are the number of verified reviews in the official directory; read them there.
Want quotes from 2–3 of these?
Tell us about your business; we pass it to suitable pre-approved vendors. Free, no obligation. You still apply for the grant yourself, before paying anything.

How to choose
Software brand vs. reseller
The same software (Xero has 27 packages) is sold by many accounting firms and resellers at different prices. Compare what setup, training and bookkeeping support each one includes.
Cloud or desktop
Xero and QuickBooks Online are cloud subscriptions; AutoCount, ABSS and SQL Account are often installed locally. Think about remote access and backups.
GST and InvoiceNow
If you are GST-registered, check GST F5 reporting and InvoiceNow (Peppol) e-invoicing support. Confirm the current IRAS requirements for your company.
Users and entities
Packages often price per user or per company. Make sure the quote covers everyone who needs access and every entity you run.
Year-two price
The grant supports software for up to 12 months only. Ask for the renewal price in writing before you sign.
What usually fits
Sole owner or small team using an accountant
A cloud package from your accounting firm keeps bookkeeping and filing in one place.
Trading business with stock
Plain accounting is capped at S$5,000; look at the accounting + inventory + sales category instead.
Prefers desktop software
AutoCount, ABSS Premier or SQL Account packages.

Questions
What is the best accounting software for a small business in Singapore?
For most small businesses the choice is between a cloud package (Xero, QuickBooks) usually sold with bookkeeping by an accounting firm, and a desktop package (AutoCount, ABSS, SQL Account). Compare price after grant in the table, check GST and InvoiceNow support, and see our Xero vs AutoCount comparison.
Can I get the EDGE grant for accounting software?
Yes, under the Accounting and Sales Management activity. Qualifying costs are capped at S$5,000, so SMEs receive up to S$2,500 (50%) and non-SMEs up to S$1,500 (30%).
Is Xero covered?
Yes, through one of the 27 pre-approved Xero packages from listed resellers. A subscription bought directly from Xero is not covered.
Who can apply?
A business registered and operating in Singapore with at least 30% Singaporean or PR ownership (counting ultimate individual owners). SMEs, with group annual sales up to S$100 million or up to 200 employees, get up to 50% support; larger companies up to 30%. You must still meet these conditions when you claim, or the claim is not paid.
When must I apply?
Before you sign, pay a deposit or start work: projects started before the application are not supported. After you submit, you may pay the vendor before approval, but at your own risk. Costs from the application date are covered only if the application is approved.
What is not covered?
GST, maintenance, and software subscription beyond the first 12 months. Professional services such as setup or data migration are covered only when they are part of the pre-approved package. The grant is paid as a reimbursement after the project is completed and fully paid.
How do I apply?
Get a quotation from a pre-approved vendor, build the matching package on the IMDA SMEs Go Digital site, then apply on the Business Grants Portal with your company's Corppass. Vendors, corporate secretaries and other third parties are not allowed to apply or claim on your behalf.
Can I change vendor after I apply?
No. After you submit, only the project end date and claim due date can be changed. To switch vendor you must terminate the application and apply again, so compare quotations before you apply.
Can I apply more than once for the same kind of software?
For single-function digital solutions and integrated enterprise systems, support is limited to one application per company (UEN) for each solution, and EDGE is for new projects: a project already funded under PSG cannot be funded again.
How long does approval take?
Enterprise Singapore states an application outcome in about one week for pre-approved single-function solutions. The project must be completed within 18 months of approval.
When can I claim?
After the project deliverables are done and you have paid in full. For single-function digital solutions and pre-scoped equipment, EDGE claims open from 1 December 2026; for other activities, from 1 January 2027.
Is there a yearly limit?
Yes. Single-function solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment together count towards S$30,000 a year per company, within an overall EDGE limit of S$100,000 a year. Limits run from 1 April to 31 March, so submit by 31 March to use the current year's limit. Past PSG, EDG or MRA grants do not count towards the EDGE limits.
