Market Research & Consulting

Sovereign China equips its clients with the local knowledge they need to understand their market opportunities in China. It provides actionable go-to-market strategies that allow them to penetrate further than just their global-tier customers.

Accounting & Payroll

From a full back-office outsourcing solution to standard tax and regulatory compliance assistance, Sovereign provides its clients with the resources and expertise they require in order to achieve long-term success in China.

Operating a company requires detailed attention to financial management and internal controls. This responsibility is particularly onerous in China due to local administrative requirements and the different standards applied to local and foreign-owned enterprises. While maintaining accounting documents to China’s Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and tax regulations is essential, so too is maintaining the company’s relationship with its appointed tax official, who possesses considerable discretion when it comes to interpreting the regulations governing a company’s tax obligations

Sovereign assists clients to maintain a good working relationship with local tax authorities and to ensure that all accounting documents and records are fully compliant by providing a dedicated team of bilingual accountants that is experienced in meeting both international standards and local requirements.

Initial set-up services
