Accounting & Automation.

Bookkeeping that gives you back your month-end, with reconciliation automated and MIS that flags only what matters.

Overview

Books should be a tool, not a chore.

Accounting is often treated as a downstream activity — recorded after the fact, reconciled in a panic at year-end, and used mainly to feed compliance filings. That is a missed opportunity. Books that are closed weekly, reconciled automatically, and reported in a one-page MIS are a strategic asset. They surface vendor disputes early, catch GST mismatches before the audit notice, and give the founder a live picture of working capital.

My practice combines full-cycle bookkeeping with the automation layer that most CA firms still treat as optional. Whether your stack is Tally, Zoho, QuickBooks, or a cloud-native ERP, the principles are the same: bank feeds in, GST 2B in, automated reconciliation, monthly close, MIS out.

Full-cycle bookkeeping

Day-to-day accounting on Tally Prime, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or your existing platform. Bank feed integration, invoice entry, vendor and customer ledger maintenance, payroll-journal posting, and monthly close. Trial balance reviewed by a Chartered Accountant before every close — not just at year-end.

Automation & reconciliation

Bank-to-books reconciliation, GSTR-2B-to-purchase reconciliation, e-invoicing reconciliation, and customer/vendor ledger circularisation. The aim is to compress the monthly close from a multi-day exercise to under a day.

MIS & management reporting

A short monthly pack (typically 6–8 pages) focused on what changed and what needs a decision. Working-capital cycle, receivables ageing, vendor concentration, gross-margin trend, GST/TDS calendar, and exception flags. Dashboards customised to the founder's mental model, not a generic template.

Compliance calendar

A single calendar per entity covering GST, TDS, advance tax, ROC, payroll, PF/ESI, and any sector-specific filings. Reminders ahead of each deadline so nothing surprises the team.

ROC & secretarial

Annual returns (AOC-4, MGT-7/7A), event-based filings (director changes, share allotments, charges, registered office), board minutes, and resolutions. LLP annual filings (Form 8 & Form 11). Compliance for one-person companies and producer companies.

Frequently Asked

Practical questions, candid answers.

Which accounting platform do you work on?

Most commonly Tally Prime and Zoho Books, with experience on QuickBooks and a handful of cloud platforms. The choice depends on the client's stack — what their banks, GST workflow, and payment gateways already integrate with.

There is no single best platform; there's the best platform for your transaction flow.

Do you handle full bookkeeping or just review?

Both. For smaller engagements I'll take on full-cycle bookkeeping with monthly close.

For larger clients with in-house accountants, I run review-and-controls engagements — month-end reconciliation, control testing, and management reporting — without the day-to-day data entry.

Can you automate our bank and GST reconciliations?

Yes. The two highest-leverage automations for most businesses are bank-to-books reconciliation and GSTR-2B-to-purchase reconciliation.

Both can be reduced from a multi-day monthly exercise to under an hour with the right tooling. Specific tools vary by platform — happy to demo what we use.

Will you also handle ROC filings?

Yes. Annual filings (AOC-4, MGT-7/7A), event-based filings (changes in directorship, share allotments, registered office), and secretarial compliance for companies and LLPs.

Compliance calendars are maintained per entity so deadlines don't surprise the client.

What does a monthly management report from you look like?

A short pack — usually 6–8 pages — focused on what changed since last month and what needs a decision.

Working capital, receivables ageing, key vendor balances, GST/TDS calendar, and any flagged exceptions. Not a 40-page Excel dump.
