Industries We Serve

The filings are the same on paper. What differs by sector is where the risk sits — and that is what sector experience actually buys you.

Quick answer

Compliance looks different by industry even when the statutes are identical. A manufacturer's pressure points are inventory valuation, e-way bills and factory licences; a software exporter's are LUT, foreign inward remittance realisation and export documentation; a trust's are Charity Commissioner filings and Section 12AB status. We work across manufacturing and trading, IT and SaaS, e-commerce, professional services, NGOs and trusts, and foreign-owned Indian subsidiaries.

What we cover

How sector experience changes the work

Same statutes, different failure points.

  • Manufacturing and trading: inventory, e-way bills, job work and cost records
  • IT, SaaS and services exporters: LUT, export realisation and place-of-supply analysis
  • E-commerce and D2C: TCS under GST, marketplace reconciliation and multi-state registration
  • NGOs and public trusts: Charity Commissioner filings, 12AB and 80G, FCRA where applicable
  • Foreign subsidiaries and branch offices: FEMA reporting, transfer pricing and FC-3 or FC-4 filings
  • Professional services and startups: cash-basis pitfalls, ESOPs and investor reporting
Key components

Where we do the most work

Sectors we handle regularly rather than occasionally.

🏭

Manufacturing and trading

Inventory and costing discipline, e-way bill and job-work compliance, and margins tracked by product rather than in aggregate.

Marketplace settlement reconciliation, GST TCS credits and registrations across the states you hold stock in.

🤝

NGOs and public trusts

Charity Commissioner submissions, audited accounts in the prescribed schedules, and income tax exemption status kept current.

Foreign subsidiaries in India

FEMA reporting on the FIRMS portal, transfer pricing documentation and foreign company filings with the ROC.

💼

Professional services

Presumptive taxation decisions, partner or director remuneration structuring, and clean books for lenders.

How we work

Our process

How we start with a new client in any sector.

1

Business review

Understanding how revenue is earned, where costs sit and which registrations the model actually triggers.

2

Risk mapping

Identifying the sector-specific exposures — place of supply, stock movement, exemption status — before they become notices.

3

Scope and setup

Building the chart of accounts, reporting and compliance calendar around how the business runs.

4

Ongoing delivery

Monthly close, returns and filings, with sector-relevant reporting rather than a generic pack.

Why choose us

Why sector experience matters

What sets our approach apart.

The traps are sector-specific

Place of supply for services, stock transfers for goods and exemption status for trusts are each the main risk in their own sector and irrelevant in the others.

Reporting people will actually read

A manufacturer needs product margins and an exporter needs realisation ageing; a generic profit and loss serves neither.

Fewer questions to answer

You spend less time explaining your business model before getting a useful answer to the question you actually asked.

FAQs

Industries We Serve questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

Yes. Early-stage work usually centres on getting the structure and registrations right, keeping books that will survive investor diligence, and handling ESOP and valuation documentation before a round rather than during it.
Yes. That work combines routine company compliance with FEMA reporting for the foreign investment, transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions, and reporting into the parent's timetable and accounting framework.
Yes. Income tax, GST and ROC filings are handled electronically, so location is rarely a constraint. State-specific matters such as professional tax, labour registrations and public trust filings are handled through local presence or associates where required.
A public trust or society carries a parallel set of obligations that commercial entities do not have — registration and reporting to the Charity Commissioner, audited accounts in prescribed schedules, income tax exemption under Section 12AB and approval under Section 80G, and FCRA compliance where foreign contributions are received.
