Virtual CFO & Accounting

The finance function, without a full-time hire

Most growing businesses need a finance function long before they can justify a full-time CFO or even a qualified accountant. Our monthly service covers the bookkeeping and compliance, and adds the reporting and planning layer that usually only arrives with a senior hire.

Who this suits

  • Businesses that have outgrown a part-time bookkeeper
  • Founders spending too much of their own time on accounts
  • Companies needing monthly reporting for investors or lenders
  • Businesses wanting compliance handled rather than chased

The process, step by step

  1. Review and handover

    We look at your current books, identify anything outstanding, and tell you plainly what we find. If previous periods have gaps, you hear about it at the start rather than during an audit.

    First week
  2. System setup

    Accounting software configured, chart of accounts structured for your business, and opening balances brought in correctly.

    First two weeks
  3. Monthly bookkeeping

    Sales, purchases, expenses, bank reconciliation and ledger maintenance, kept current rather than assembled at year end.

    Ongoing, monthly
  4. Compliance filing

    GST returns, TDS returns and payments, professional tax and payroll statutory filings, tracked against a calendar so deadlines are met rather than remembered.

    Ongoing, monthly
  5. Management reporting

    A monthly pack — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, receivables and payables ageing — with commentary on what changed and why.

    Monthly
  6. Planning and review

    Periodic review covering tax planning, cash flow projections, pricing and cost structure. This is the part that distinguishes the service from bookkeeping.

    Quarterly

Requirements

Pricing starts at ₹5,000 per month and depends on transaction volume, number of bank accounts, payroll headcount and whether GST filing is included. We quote after seeing your actual volumes.

Questions we get asked

What does ₹5,000 a month cover?

The starting package suits businesses with modest transaction volumes — bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, GST return filing and a monthly report. Larger volumes, payroll and multi-state GST are priced above that. We quote once we've seen your numbers.

Can you take over from our current accountant?

Yes, and it's common. We take handover of the books, review recent periods for anything outstanding, and tell you straight away if we find a problem.

Do we need to change accounting software?

Not usually. We work with what you have. If your current setup is genuinely holding you back we'll say so, but changing software is not a precondition.

Is this different from just hiring a bookkeeper?

A bookkeeper records what happened. This service adds the reporting, compliance tracking and planning layer on top — the part that usually requires a senior hire.

Is there a minimum contract?

We work on a monthly basis. Scope and fee are agreed in writing before we start.
