Most businesses have an in-house number-cruncher. But outside accounting firms can assist in managing the paperwork even a small firm generates. And, of course, a certified accountant must conduct the company’s mandatory annual audit. In Beijing, you’ll find large international accounting firms and a range of Chinese accounting firms. The Ministry of Finance, which is responsible for licensing accounting firms, can tell you if an individual firm is or is not registered and certified in China. The Chinese Society of Certified Public Accountants (www.cicpa.org.cn) provides additional information about accounting in China.
