Compliance · Accounting & Finance Ops

Your India finance back office,
run by one team.

Accounting and finance operations cover the full back office of an India entity — bookkeeping and reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll with PF/ESI/TDS, month-end close, and statutory accounts under Indian GAAP mapped to your group's reporting standard. Run by one in-house team so you don't have to hire and supervise locally.

Most foreign-owned entities don't need an India accountant on payroll — they need the books, payroll, and compliance run reliably by one team. We keep your India ledgers current, your filings on time, and your reporting in a format your parent can actually consolidate.

Why the back office breaks

The India back office is small until it isn't.

  • Local hire

    Do you really want to hire an India accountant yet?

    A single in-house bookkeeper is hard to supervise from abroad, carries key-person risk, and rarely covers payroll, tax, and statutory accounts all at once.

  • Compliance-linked books

    Are your books wired to India's filing calendar?

    GST returns, TDS, and PF/ESI all run off the books. If bookkeeping and compliance aren't joined up, deadlines slip and reconciliations break.

  • Two GAAPs

    Can your books report locally and to your parent?

    You need statutory accounts under Indian GAAP/Ind AS and a clean management view that consolidates into your group's IFRS or US GAAP. One set of books rarely does both well.

  • Visibility

    Does HQ actually see what's happening in India?

    Delayed, inconsistent reporting leaves the parent guessing on cash, cost, and runway — until the year-end audit forces a reckoning.

India finance looks light early on, then compounds: a hard-to-supervise local hire, books that aren't wired to the filing calendar, two GAAPs to satisfy, and a parent that can't see what's happening. One joined-up team running it end to end is what keeps it from breaking.
