Finance & Control Office

The Outcome

Books, GST, MIS, payroll and compliance — managed, not remembered.

Who this is for

Running businesses where the founder is still the de-facto accountant — chasing invoices, filing GST at the deadline, discovering compliance dates by penalty notice. Typically ₹50L–₹10Cr revenue.

Problems this solves

—Month-end closes weeks late, if at all.

—GST filing is a monthly panic, not a process.

—You make decisions without current numbers because current numbers don't exist.

—A penalty notice is how you learn a deadline existed.

What you get

—Monthly bookkeeping — closed by a fixed date, every month

—GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B) filed on schedule, reconciled against your books

—A monthly MIS: P&L, cash position, receivables — one page you'll actually read

—Payroll processing with professional tax and TDS handled

—A live compliance calendar — ROC, income tax, renewals — owned by us, visible to you

Who leads it

Led by a Chartered Accountant as your named point of contact — the same person every month, not a rotating helpdesk.

Pricing

A flat monthly retainer, scoped by transaction volume and headcount on a short call. It stays flat as you grow within the scoped band — re-scoped transparently when you outgrow it.

What you provide

—Bank statement access or feeds, and invoices in whatever state they exist

—A response within 2 working days when we flag something needing your call

—15 minutes monthly to actually read the MIS — it's built to be read

What's not included

—Statutory audit fees (coordinated when applicable, billed separately)

—Litigation or notice representation beyond routine compliance — quoted case-by-case

—One-time cleanups of multi-year backlogs — scoped as a separate project first

From our client work

Our MSME lending work runs through this office — clean books are what make a bank say yes. The dry-fruits trading client's working-capital facility depended on exactly this. Read the case studies →

Where you end up

You stop being your own accountant. Numbers arrive monthly without being chased, deadlines pass without drama, and lenders see books they can trust.
