Freight Forwarding
International freight, disbursements, and customs charges need careful VAT handling and clean pass-through accounting. We keep your books straight, so margins are clear and BIR filings are on time.
The pain points we solve
- Zero-rated international transport vs. VATable local services
- Disbursements and advances to clients tracked separately
- Customs, port, and brokerage cost pass-throughs
- Multi-currency billing reconciled to the peso
What working with UPworth looks like
- Discovery (week 1). We map your transactions, BIR registrations, and current pain points.
- Setup (weeks 2–3). Chart of accounts, opening balances, document workflow, and any cleanup needed.
- Steady state. Monthly closing, BIR filings, payroll, and a 30-minute review call each month.
