Bookkeeping & Accounting
Books that are only touched at year end cost you twice — once in rushed compliance, and again in decisions made without numbers. We keep them current and close every month.
This engagement covers
- Transaction recording
- Bank reconciliation
- GST reconciliation
- Payables and receivables
- Monthly close and reporting
- Year-end readiness
“They set up our Private Limited in under two weeks and explained every form before we signed it. The fee never moved from the first quote.”

Overview
Best suited to. Growing businesses without an in-house finance team, and businesses whose books have drifted far enough that the year end has become a fire drill.
How we price it. One fixed professional fee, agreed in writing before any work begins, with government fees and statutory charges itemised separately and payable at actuals. If the scope changes, we tell you before doing the work.
What’s included
- 01
Transaction recording
Sales, purchases, expenses and journals recorded in your accounting software with correct heads and GST treatment.
- 02
Bank reconciliation
Every account reconciled monthly, so the cash figure in your books is the cash you actually have.
- 03
GST reconciliation
Books matched to GSTR-2B and GSTR-1 so the return and the accounts tell the same story.
- 04
Payables and receivables
Ageing maintained, so you know who owes you and what falls due before it becomes a problem.
- 05
Monthly close and reporting
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash position, with a short note on what moved and why.
- 06
Year-end readiness
Books handed to audit and tax already closed and reconciled, which is where the time and cost actually go.
Documents required
Collected once, digitally. We check the whole set before anything is filed — document problems are what turn a two-week job into a six-week one.
Every month
- Bank statements for all accounts
- Sales invoices and purchase bills
- Expense receipts and petty cash records
- Loan, EMI and investment statements
One time
- Opening balances and last audited financials
- Chart of accounts, if one exists
- Accounting software access
- GST and TDS registration details
How it works
- Step 01
Set up
Opening balances loaded, chart of accounts structured for your business, and a monthly document routine agreed.
- Step 02
Recorded
Transactions posted through the month rather than in a year-end rush.
- Step 03
Reconciled and closed
Bank, GST and ledgers reconciled, and the month formally closed.
- Step 04
Reported
You get the statements and a short plain-language note on what changed.
Questions
Q1Which software do you work in?
Tally, Zoho Books and QuickBooks are the common ones. If you already have a system we work inside it, so the books stay yours and you are never locked in.
Q2My books are years behind. Can you fix it?
Yes. We rebuild from bank statements and available records, tell you what is genuinely unrecoverable, and bring the position current before touching any filing.
Q3Do I need bookkeeping if turnover is small?
You need records to file accurately whatever your size. Below a certain scale a quarterly cycle is enough, and we will say so rather than sell you a monthly retainer you do not need.
Q4Is audit included?
No. Statutory audit is a separate engagement, and independence rules mean the auditor should not be the person writing the books. We prepare books to audit standard and work with your auditor.
