What we handle,
and what you get.

Management reporting

Virtual CFO

A finance function that reports to you without sitting on your payroll. We own the reporting cadence, join the decisions that carry a financial consequence, and keep the numbers ready for whoever asks next — a bank, a board, an investor, the department.

• Monthly MIS with commentary, not just statements
• Cash flow forecasting and working capital monitoring
• Annual budget, with variance review each month
• Lender and investor reporting packs
• Process and internal control review as the business scales
• Input on pricing, costing and capital structure

Income-tax Act, 2025

Income Tax

The Income-tax Act, 2025 replaced the 1961 Act with effect from 1 April 2026, and with it came new section numbering, new rules and a new series of forms. Most of what we do for clients now is making sure positions taken under the old law still hold under the new one — and that filings go on the right form.

• Returns for companies, LLPs, firms, trusts and individuals
• Advance tax computation and quarterly monitoring
• TDS and TCS compliance, statements and corrections
• Certificates in the new Form 130 to Form 133 series
• Lower and nil withholding certificates under section 395, applied for in Form 128
• Faceless assessment, rectification and appellate support
• Capital gains, residential status and non-resident positions

CGST, SGST and IGST Acts, 2017

GST

Input credit is where most disputes start. We work backwards from GSTR-2B and the IMS so that what is claimed matches what suppliers actually reported, and differences get chased in the month they arise rather than at annual return time.

• Registration, amendment and multi-state management
• GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and IFF, monthly or under QRMP
• Input credit reconciliation against GSTR-2B and supplier ledgers
• Annual return in GSTR-9 and reconciliation in GSTR-9C
• Refunds — exports, inverted duty, excess balance
• E-invoicing and e-way bill review
• Notices, scrutiny under Section 61 and departmental audit

Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999

FEMA

Cross-border money moves faster than the reporting around it. Most FEMA problems are timing failures rather than substantive ones — and they cost far less to prevent than to compound.

• FC-GPR and FC-TRS reporting on the FIRMS portal
• Overseas direct investment filings and annual performance report
• External commercial borrowing and monthly ECB-2 returns
• Annual return on foreign liabilities and assets
• Non-resident transactions, remittance and repatriation
• Compounding where a contravention has already occurred

Income-tax Act, 2025

Transfer Pricing

Documentation prepared close to the transaction is worth more than documentation assembled during an assessment. We build the study on comparables that hold, and get the commercial rationale on record while people still remember it. The arm's length principle carries over unchanged from the 1961 Act; the section, rule and form references do not.

• Benchmarking studies and method selection
• Contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation
• The accountant's report on international and specified domestic transactions
• Intra-group services, cost allocation and royalties
• Master File and country-by-country reporting where applicable
• Transfer pricing assessment and appellate support

Books and records

Book Keeping

Books that can be closed on time and handed to anyone — an auditor, a lender, a buyer — without a month of preparation first. We work on your existing software wherever possible.

• Accounting on Tally Prime, Zoho Books or your current stack
• Bank, vendor and customer ledger reconciliation
• Payables and receivables with ageing
• Payroll processing and related statutory deductions
• Fixed asset register maintenance
• Month-end close and financial statement preparation

United States and Canada

Foreign Accounting and Incorporation

We incorporate and run the back office for Indian promoters setting up in the United States and Canada, and we handle the personal tax position of non-residents on both sides of the border. Our sister concern, Everstead FP&A Advisors, operates in the United States, so US filings and Indian filings are prepared by people who talk to each other rather than by two firms who never meet.

• Entity incorporation in the US (LLC and C-Corp) and in Canada
• Registered agent, EIN and state or provincial registrations
• Ongoing bookkeeping and management reporting for the foreign entity
• Federal and state filing coordination through Everstead FP&A Advisors
• Non-resident Indian tax positions, residential status and DTAA relief
• Repatriation and FEMA reporting on the India side of the structure
• One point of contact for the Indian and the US position together

Companies Act, 2013 and LLP Act, 2008

MCA Compliances

Secretarial records are dull until someone asks to see them — in diligence, in a loan sanction, in an inspection. We keep them current instead of reconstructing them under pressure.

• Incorporation of companies and LLPs, and conversions
• Annual filings — AOC-4, MGT-7 and LLP equivalents
• Board and general meeting records and statutory registers
• Director appointment, resignation and KYC
• Share allotment, transfer and capital restructuring
• Creation, modification and satisfaction of charges

SEBI regulations

SEBI Compliances

Intermediaries run on a reporting calendar of their own, with exchange and depository requirements layered on top of SEBI's. We work with brokers and their authorised persons across states on keeping that calendar met and the records inspection-ready.

• Periodic and event-based reporting to exchanges and depositories
• Net worth certification support and margin reporting
• Internal audit and inspection coordination
• Client records, KYC and document retention review
• Authorised person onboarding and ongoing monitoring
• Registration, renewal and change-in-particulars filings
