WHAT WE DO

Everything a foreign founder needs to operate with confidence in the Philippines.

Different services. One trusted point of contact. From the moment you register your entity to the day your books are audit-ready — POC handles the compliance layer so you can focus on building.

Pick a service

Business Registration

Setup that holds up. The right entity, structured correctly for foreign ownership, registered with every agency that needs to know — so you don't rebuild it from scratch later.

Business Consultation

The right starting point for any founder navigating a foreign market. A direct conversation with a CPA who has built businesses in the Philippines — not a junior intake call.

Initial Consultation

A focused session to map your situation — entity options, foreign-ownership rules, compliance obligations from day one, and what a realistic setup timeline looks like.

Fee is credited in full toward any approved project.

$150

One time fee. Credited toward any approved project.

Ongoing Advisory Retainer

Sustained access for founders who need a CPA-operator available on a regular cadence — regulatory changes, growth decisions, scenario planning, and anything that surfaces between set periods.

Smarter together

**Tax and compliance are usually bundled into your accounting retainer.**

Rather than billing each piece separately, most clients fold Tax Compliance and Multi-Agency Compliance into a single monthly accounting fee. Cleaner for you, fewer invoices to track — and it means your CPA always has the full picture.

All fees are POC's service fees only, in USD. They are exclusive of government fees, taxes, notarial and publication costs, and the paid-up capital a foreign-owned entity must remit (commonly USD 100,000–200,000 depending on entity type and sector).

Reference exchange rate: approximately ₱57 = USD 1. Fees marked "bespoke above" are quoted individually for genuinely large or regulated engagements. The initial consultation fee ($150) is credited in full toward any approved project.
