Running a business and operations in China means that new questions and issues may arise on weekly if not daily basis. Our services are structured in a way that we can help our clients on a vast number of additional questions. These include the support on short notice via our CFO services and interim staffing, supporting the quality of our clients’ teams via ongoing support and training or safeguarding investors’ IP via trademark consulting and registration.

CFO Services

Our professional staff has vast experience in providing CFO services, either ongoing or for a specific time period, to clients who need experienced advice on the financial-, tax-, legal- and compliance side of running their business.

Interim Staffing

When a key position in your company is left unfilled due to illness or unexpected dismissal, or your team simply needs additional manpower, it can be time-consuming to find the perfect candidate. MSA team of experienced certified accounting and tax professionals are available to work onsite or offsite on an interim basis, based on the client’s needs.

Trainings

At MSA we understand that your employees are the most crucial element to your company’s success. Therefore, it is essential your staff are equipped with the needed knowledge and experience in their relevant positions, to ensure your business will thrive.

Trademark Registration

In order to protect your brand and associated intellectual property, it is essential to register your company’s trademark in China. Trademark registration in China further gains in importance as the Chinese authorities do not recognize trademarks that are registered in other countries. Therefore, an internationally recognized brand will not be protected in China unless the company applies for a domestic trademark.

Testimonials

MSA has been our trusted advisor throughout the entire lifecycle of our China journey, enabling us to dispatch employees (EOR) to China while having no legal entity and the incorporation and operationalization of our Chinese subsidiary. After this, MSA continues to prove its value as an advisor in supporting not only Chinese accounting, taxation, and compliance requirements but also by advising on specific licensing requirements within the horticulture industry in China, such as those for trading in pesticides and other chemicals. With a profound understanding of our headquarters’ interests and a thorough understanding of local business practices in China, MSA has enabled us to balance the often-conflicting requirements for control and compliance with our ambitious China growth strategy.

For our fast-growing business, we need a reliable partner to handle all our payroll-related matters, which we found in MSA. They helped us streamline our internal processes by implementing and improving compliance processes from a legal perspective and in terms of our corporate policies. We fully trust in the confidentiality of our employees’ data, as they ensure secure data storage from internationally recognized providers. Whether on ad-hoc requests or long-term oriented recurring matters, we always receive a fast and complete response to our questions that help us achieve our compliance goals and overcome the challenges in payroll, IIT, and social security in China.

MSA was our first choice when we were looking for a China-based accounting firm with a fundamental understanding of our Belgian background and the ability to connect two diverging business cultures. As our company operates with the corporate ERP system Oracle, we are delighted that MSA works through proprietary access directly in our system, ensuring the availability of our company figures in the format we are accustomed to. During our company’s setup procedure, they managed to organize particular steps without the personal presence of the company representatives (e.g., opening a bank account) by identifying alternative verification procedures. We appreciate that MSA always listens to our queries. They are very well connected both within China and internationally. In addition to our questions about our China business, we are glad to receive advice on questions about other international topics from their connections within their global network.
