Choosing the right accounting and compliance platform is one of the most consequential decisions a Hong Kong small business can make. This page compares CompanyForge bookkeep — currently in invite-only beta — with Sleek, a well-known Hong Kong–headquartered corporate services provider.
We aim to keep this comparison factual and grounded. Where we are not certain of a competitor detail, we mark it [VERIFY]. Prices, features, and coverage change — always confirm directly with the provider.
Who Each Product Is For
Sleek serves a broad market: founders incorporating a Hong Kong company, SMEs that want bundled accounting, tax, and corporate secretary services, and overseas entrepreneurs using Sleek's international formation packages. Their model is high-volume, self-serve friendly, with optional add-on services.
CompanyForge bookkeep is designed for Hong Kong SMEs and Hong Kong–headquartered groups with cross-border activity into mainland China or Indonesia who want deeper local compliance work handled by a named team rather than a portal. Access is by invitation only, with concierge onboarding through a waitlist.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is CompanyForge bookkeep available to anyone right now? No. bookkeep is currently invite-only. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee access; accepted companies are onboarded in cohorts with concierge setup.
2. How does bookkeep pricing work during the beta? Pricing is scoped per company based on transaction volume, jurisdictions involved, and required filings. You will receive a quote after an introductory call — there is no public price list at this stage.
3. Can I migrate from Sleek to bookkeep mid-year? Yes, in principle. Migration scope depends on how your Sleek books are structured and what historical periods need to be carried over. This is reviewed case by case during the waitlist conversation.
4. Does bookkeep handle HK corporate secretarial work, registered office, or company incorporation? This page compares bookkeep's bookkeeping and compliance posture. For incorporation, registered office, or corporate secretarial needs, please contact our team directly to discuss scope — we can often coordinate these through partner firms where appropriate.
