Hiring a full finance team is expensive; not having one is more expensive. We function as your finance department — accounting, tax, MIS, compliance calendar, audit management — at a fraction of a team's cost, with partner-level oversight you couldn't hire at any price.
The outsourced finance function replaces the in-house accounts-and-tax team with a managed service: daily bookkeeping, monthly accounting and MIS, direct and indirect tax compliance and advisory, payroll coordination, the statutory calendar, audit management, and treasury reporting — run by qualified accountants and CAs under partner supervision.
It's not "outsourced bookkeeping" — it's the department. The difference shows in the outputs: management reports that drive decisions, tax positions that are planned not stumbled into, audits that close on time, and a finance calendar that runs without founder intervention.
Companies between "founder does finance" and "we need a CFO" — the long middle where the business is complex enough to need professional finance but not large enough to justify the hires. This is most growth companies, most of the time.
Businesses where finance is currently fragmented across a bookkeeper, a CA firm that files returns, and the founder's spreadsheet — three partial solutions that don't talk to each other. Integration is where the value is: tax planning informed by live books, MIS built on reconciled data.
Companies preparing for institutional capital, where the finance function gets diligenced as hard as the business. "We'll hire after the fundraise" is backwards — the fundraise goes better with the function already running.
Daily books, monthly close by the 5th, management reporting with commentary — divisional P&L, working capital, cash flow, variance analysis. The numbers you run the business on.
Advance tax, TDS, income-tax returns, GST monthly cycle with 2B reconciliation — plus the advisory layer: regime elections, structuring questions, assessment responses. Compliance and planning in one place.
ROC, FEMA, labour-adjacent, tax — every deadline across every law, tracked and executed. One calendar, zero missed dates.
Statutory, tax, internal — coordinated, prepared, and managed through sign-off. Audits stop being the quarter that finance disappears.
Cash-flow forecasting, payment controls, approval matrices, and the financial controls that prevent leakage and fraud. The unglamorous infrastructure that protects the business.
A qualified partner reviews the outputs, joins your monthly review, and is available for the decisions that need judgement — fundraise, expansion, transaction. This is the part you can't hire at any reasonable salary.
Monthly retainer, fixed, scoped to transaction volume, entity count, and complexity — typically a third to a half of an equivalent in-house team's cost. Quoted after we understand your actual activity.
Transition in 4–6 weeks: takeover, cleanup, rhythm establishment. The first quarter is transformation; after that, it's just how finance works.
Bookkeeper here, CA firm there, founder's spreadsheet everywhere. Nobody owns the whole picture, so tax planning doesn't see the books and MIS doesn't see the tax. Integration isn't a luxury — it's where finance creates value.
The company that hires a CFO before it has accountants, or keeps a lone bookkeeper five years past the point of inadequacy. The function should match the stage; the outsourced model flexes with it.
Treating finance as overhead to minimise guarantees it stays overhead. Good finance pays for itself — in tax saved, leakage stopped, decisions improved, and fundraises priced better.
Current state: books, tax, team, calendar. The honest picture and the gap to a functioning department.
Takeover, cleanup, systems, rhythms. The function constructed in 4–6 weeks.
Monthly close, tax cycle, MIS, calendar — the department operating.
Partner oversight on decisions, quarterly reviews, continuous improvement. Finance as a capability, not a chore.
No — it's the full function: accounting, tax, MIS, calendar, audit, controls, plus partner oversight. Bookkeeping is one component.
Typically a third to half of an equivalent team's fully-loaded cost — and you get partner-level oversight no hire at this budget provides.
You do. Your systems, your access. We operate; you own.
That's the point — the service flexes from startup to pre-IPO without rehiring cycles. When you eventually need an in-house CFO, we help you hire and hand over cleanly.
Yes — we coordinate. Often we become the primary finance function and your CA focuses on audit and specialised advisory.
Professional obligations plus explicit NDAs. Your numbers stay yours.
A named finance manager, with partner oversight. You always know exactly who to call — no ticket queues.
A structured calendar — cutoffs, reconciliations, review, and a reporting pack by an agreed date, usually the 10th for the prior month.
Yes — quarterly board finance reviews are standard in this service. We present the numbers and answer the questions.
We help you hire the in-house team and hand over cleanly — documented processes, trained staff, transition support. Outgrowing us is success, not failure.
Talk to a partner about your situation — no pitch, no obligation. If we're not the right firm for it, we'll tell you that too.
