Accounting

Books maintained to a monthly close calendar, reconciled against GST and TDS, and ready to be used for decisions as well as filings.

Quick answer

Outsourced accounting means the books are run to a monthly close calendar rather than assembled at year end: bank and ledger reconciliations, revenue and expense cut-off, payables and receivables ageing, and a trial balance that ties out before returns are prepared from it. The value is not data entry — it is that the numbers you make decisions on and the numbers you file are the same numbers.

Key components

What a proper monthly close involves

Four checks that most books never get.

📒

Bookkeeping

Accurate, classified entries against a chart of accounts designed for how you actually report, not the software default.

🔁

Reconciliations

Bank, GSTR-2B, TDS, vendor and inter-company balances agreed every month so differences never accumulate.

📅

Cut-off and accruals

Revenue and expenses recorded in the right period, with provisions and prepaid items handled consistently.

📑

Statements

Schedule III financial statements ready for the auditor, the bank and the ROC filing without rework.

How we work

Our process

From handover to a stable close.

1

Handover and review

Taking over the existing data, identifying gaps and agreeing the opening balances.

2

Setup

Chart of accounts, cost centres, approval flow and a close calendar with named owners.

3

Monthly close

Entries, reconciliations and review, ending in a signed-off trial balance.

4

Reporting and filings

Statements to management, and reconciled data handed to the GST, TDS and audit workstreams.

Why choose us

Why the close discipline matters

What sets our approach apart.

Mismatches are found early

A monthly GSTR-2B reconciliation surfaces missing vendor invoices while the credit can still be claimed, not at the annual return.

Audits stop being a project

When every month is closed and reconciled, the statutory audit works from records that already agree rather than rebuilding the year.

Clean-ups are our normal

Backlogs, mixed personal and business entries and unreconciled control accounts are routine work, not a reason to turn an engagement away.

FAQs

Accounting questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

We work on Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Busy and most cloud ERPs, and we can work directly in your existing system so the data stays with you. If you have no system yet, we will recommend one based on transaction volume, GST complexity and whether inventory is involved.
For most businesses the close is completed within the first two weeks of the following month, provided bank statements, vendor invoices and payroll inputs reach us on the agreed dates. The calendar is fixed at the start of the engagement so both sides know the deadlines.
Yes, and that is deliberate. Preparing returns from the same closed books that produce the financial statements is what keeps the filed figures and the reported figures aligned, and it is where reconciliation differences get caught.
Yes. A clean-up usually starts with agreeing a cut-off date, reconstructing bank and control account balances up to that point, and correcting classification errors, before the regular monthly cycle begins. We will tell you upfront what can and cannot be restated for periods already filed.
