For 20 years, IGO Accounting Services has worked side by side with Filipino business owners — from kitchen-table operators to multi-branch corporations — helping them meet BIR, SEC, and DTI requirements without the usual headaches.
This new Articles section is our way of bringing that same straightforward expertise online.
What you will find here
We will be publishing three kinds of content:
- Tax Updates — When the BIR releases a new revenue memorandum or filing deadline, you will find a clear, plain-language summary here. No jargon. No drama. Just what it means for you and what to do next.
- Compliance Guides — Step-by-step walkthroughs for the most common questions our clients ask. How to register a corporation. What documents you need for BIR Form 1701. The difference between VAT and percentage tax. The kind of guidance that should have been free a long time ago.
- IGO News — Branch openings, team milestones, Foundation updates, and the occasional behind-the-scenes story of how a 20-year accounting practice grows.
Why we are doing this
Most accounting firms keep their knowledge behind a quote and a sales call. We think that is backwards.
Compliance is not a competitive secret. The rules are public. What matters is whether you can find them, understand them, and apply them in time. If we can save you a confused afternoon or a late filing by writing something clear, that is a small win for both of us — and it is the kind of small win that adds up over years.
If you ever read something here and think "I wish I had known that sooner," tell us. We would rather hear it from a reader than learn about it from a penalty notice.
A note from Ms. Irene
"Twenty years ago, I signed my first two clients from my home in Paco. I did not have a website. I had a notebook and a phone. The work has not really changed. The only difference now is that we get to share what we have learned with more people, faster."
— Ms. Irene Guiao Oloris, Founder
What is next
Our first proper Tax Update is coming next week, covering the latest BIR developments for Q3 2026 filings. After that, expect roughly two articles per month — sometimes more around filing season.
If there is a specific topic you want us covered, send us a message. We are listening.
