Fractional CFO advisory
Senior finance leadership on a part-time basis, for businesses that need CFO-level input without a full-time appointment.
A fractional CFO works with the management team for a set number of days each month. The aim is to give owners reliable numbers, a clear view of cash, and a finance function that can support lenders, investors and auditors.
Typically covers
- Cash flow planning and working capital management
- Budgets, rolling forecasts and monthly management reports (MIS)
- Information packs for banks, lenders and investors
- Month-end close, internal controls and audit readiness
- Finance systems and ERP selection or clean-up
Forensic audit
An independent, evidence-based examination of books and transactions where there are concerns about irregularities, leakage or misstatement.
Forensic work establishes facts. It traces transactions through documents and data, identifies patterns that ordinary audits may not look for, and records findings in a form that management, boards or legal counsel can rely on.
Typically covers
- Transaction trail and vendor or payment pattern reviews
- Data analytics on ledgers to flag anomalies and duplicates
- Physical verification support for inventory and fixed assets
- Review of internal control gaps that allowed the issue
- Structured fact-finding reports
GST and tax reconciliation (AIS / 26AS)
Matching what the tax and GST portals show against your books, so that returns and filings agree with each other.
Tax portals now hold detailed third-party data about every taxpayer. Reconciliation compares that data with your own records, explains each difference, and corrects what needs correcting before it becomes a notice.
Typically covers
- GSTR-2B and Invoice Management System (IMS) against the purchase register
- GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and books of account, month by month
- Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Form 26AS against books and returns
- Tracing of missing TDS and TCS credits
- Feedback on incorrect AIS entries and support with notice replies
NRI taxation
Indian tax compliance for non-residents and returning Indians, from residential status to property sales and treaty relief.
Non-residents are taxed in India only on Indian income, but the rules on residency, withholding and repatriation are detailed. The work starts with determining status for the year and then applies the correct treatment to each income source.
Typically covers
- Residential status, including RNOR status for returning Indians
- Tax on NRE and NRO interest, rent, dividends and capital gains
- Property sales, TDS on sale and lower deduction certificates
- Tax treaty (DTAA) relief, Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F
- Form 15CA / 15CB for remittances and income tax return filing
Accounts writing and bookkeeping
Accurate books of account, maintained month by month, so that financial statements, tax returns and reports rest on clean records.
Good books are the base for everything else: tax filings, bank submissions and management decisions. Records are kept to a documented routine with regular reconciliations, so year-end finalisation is a review rather than a reconstruction.
Typically covers
- Bookkeeping in Tally Prime, Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online and similar software
- Bank, vendor and customer ledger reconciliations
- Books of account for professionals, traders and small businesses
- Finalisation of accounts and year-end schedules
- Records organised for audit and tax filing
Financial modelling
Structured spreadsheet models that turn business assumptions into projected financial statements, cash flow and valuation.
A model is useful only if others can follow and test it. Models are built with separated inputs, calculations and outputs, clear labelling and checks, so owners and lenders can see how each figure is derived.
Typically covers
- Integrated three-statement models (profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow)
- Project finance models with debt service coverage analysis
- Budgets, scenarios and sensitivity analysis
- Business plans prepared for bank or investor review
- Review of existing models for errors and logic
