Everything your business needs for clarity and financial strength

Books maintained monthly, reconciled and closed on schedule, with reporting your management team will actually read.

Most compliance problems start in the books. A GST return that doesn’t reconcile, a TDS default nobody noticed, an audit that takes three months: these are almost always symptoms of ledgers maintained badly, or maintained in March.

We run bookkeeping as a monthly cycle. Sales, purchases, expenses and journals are recorded as they happen, bank and party ledgers are reconciled every month, and the books close against a checklist rather than a deadline panic. If you’re already behind, we take on the clean-up by reconstructing records, clearing suspense balances and getting you to an opening position that can be defended.

Beyond the ledger, we handle payroll processing and salary restructuring, so employees are paid correctly and tax-efficiently, with EPF, ESI and payroll TDS built into the same run. We prepare monthly MIS reporting: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash position, receivable ageing and the operational numbers specific to your business.

For businesses outgrowing their current setup, we design and implement accounting systems from the chart of accounts up, and manage ERP migration and software selection, including moving from Tally to a cloud platform without losing history.

Income tax and TDS handled end to end, filed on time, planned in advance, and defended when a notice arrives.

Tax work splits into three things, and most businesses only pay attention to the first one.

Filing. Corporate and individual income tax returns prepared and filed within the statutory due date, with advance tax computed quarterly so there’s no interest under sections 234B and 234C waiting at the year end. Returns are prepared from reconciled books, not from a summary, which is what makes them survive scrutiny.

Planning. The decisions that change your tax position all have to be made before the year ends, not while filing: entity structure, salary structuring for directors and employees, timing of capital expenditure, choice between the old and new regimes, and treatment of related-party transactions. We review your position through the year and tell you what to do while there’s still time to do it.

TDS and TCS. Monthly deduction and deposit, quarterly returns, Form 16 and 16A issuance, and correction of defaults and short-deduction notices on TRACES. TDS is where small errors compound quietly: a wrong section, a missing PAN or a late deposit produces demands that surface years later.

Where assessments, reassessments or appeals arise, we prepare responses and supporting documentation and represent your position through the process.

Registration, monthly returns, input credit reconciliation, refunds and notices: GST as a running process, not a monthly scramble.

GST is the most unforgiving compliance in the Indian system. Returns fall due on the 11th and 20th of every month, input credit is now matched automatically against what your suppliers file, and a blocked credit or a mismatched return turns into working capital sitting with the department.

We handle registration, amendments and the full return cycle: GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly, GSTR-9 and 9C annually. Input tax credit is reconciled against GSTR-2B every month rather than at year end. Where suppliers haven’t filed, we identify it early enough for you to do something about it, instead of discovering it in an annual return.

Refunds are where most exporters lose money by default. We prepare and pursue refund claims for zero-rated exports, supplies to SEZ units, and accumulated credit under an inverted duty structure, including the documentation, statements and follow-up the department requires before releasing funds.

Advisory and health checks cover the questions that create exposure: classification and rate disputes, place of supply on interstate and export transactions, reverse charge liability, and eligibility of credits you’re already claiming. A health check reviews filed returns against your books and identifies exposure before the department does. When notices, scrutiny or audit proceedings arrive, we draft replies and handle representation.

Statutory, tax, internal and specialised audits, delivered with the turnaround times our GCC clients built their expectations on.

We plan the engagement around your reporting deadline and work backwards. Our audit team prepares the file before fieldwork begins: schedules, reconciliations, confirmations and supporting documentation assembled and reviewed in advance. That is why our audits close quickly. Clients in logistics, trading and healthcare come to us because a delayed financial statement holds up a bank facility, a tender or a licence renewal, and we are built to prevent that.

We also conduct internal and management audits, reviewing controls, processes and compliance across purchase, sales, cash and payroll, and reporting findings your management can act on rather than a list of exceptions.

Stock and inventory audits for trading, manufacturing and retail businesses, including physical verification, valuation review and reconciliation against book records. These are frequently required by lenders as a condition of working capital facilities.

Due diligence and special or investigative audits for acquisitions, investments, partner exits and disputes: a focused examination of financial position, liabilities, related-party dealings and undisclosed exposure.

Forensic and fraud audits where misappropriation, falsified records or vendor fraud is suspected. Work is conducted discreetly, with documentation prepared to a standard that supports action afterwards, whether internal, civil or criminal.

Senior financial oversight for businesses that need CFO judgement without a CFO salary.

There’s a stage most growing businesses reach where the accountant is keeping up but nobody is looking forward. Cash is tight without anyone being able to say exactly why. A bank wants projections. An investor wants a data room. Pricing hasn’t been reviewed in two years.

Virtual CFO is a monthly engagement covering that gap. We build and maintain a rolling cash flow forecast, prepare annual budgets and track performance against them, review margins by product, branch or contract, and produce the reporting pack your board, lender or investor expects.

For businesses raising debt, we prepare CMA data, projections and the supporting file banks and NBFCs require, and manage the queries that follow. For businesses raising equity or preparing for a transaction, we get the financials to a state that survives diligence.

For groups with a UAE parent or Gulf operations, we prepare India numbers in a format that consolidates into group reporting without rework and, where useful, coordinate directly with the CashLaw team in Dubai.
