About Osome

Founded 2017; HQ Singapore; roster regions HK/UK (public markets also include Singapore and UAE — note the dataset gap). Audience: small businesses, freelancers. Older TaxAIs summary is HK profits-tax skewed; public SG site is a major market. Online incorporation; bank account / registered address messaging; bookkeeping (bank feeds, invoicing, receipt capture, multi-currency, ecommerce); corporate secretarial; compliance calendar; tax filings with human specialists.

Optional DIY “essentials” software at $5/month shown as **waitlist**. Homepage claims 50,000+ founders from 150+ countries (vendor claim). Accounting packages billed annually per financial year, revenue-tiered; government fees separate; many extras are add-ons. Not a pure self-serve tax engine.

Platform FAQ: AI suggests accounting codes via “consensus of multiple models”; **AI does not make final accounting decisions** — human accountant review/confirm. Ask Osome assistant with “Connect to Expert” escalate. Blog: Categorisation AI as panel of **eight independent AI models** in parallel; document automation matches receipts to bank entries. HK FAQ (3 Feb 2026): AI-assisted categorisation with accountant review.
