Bookkeeping Outsourcing

Day-to-day bookkeeping on Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online or Tally — with monthly close, bank reconciliation, GST reconciliation and an audit trail that holds up under scrutiny. Reviewed by a partner each month.

What we do

Every entry from sales invoice to bank-reconciled close

Outsourced bookkeeping covers every accounting entry from sales invoice to bank-reconciled close. Concretely:

  • Sales / customer invoicing in the accounting system, with GST split-out.
  • Vendor bills, expense claims, employee reimbursements.
  • Bank, credit-card, payment-gateway reconciliation.
  • Inter-company entries.
  • Inventory entries (where applicable).
  • Month-end close: depreciation, accrual, prepaid amortisation, currency revaluation.
  • Fixed asset register update.
  • Trial balance and management account preparation.
  • GST 2A / 2B reconciliation against purchase entries.
  • Variance investigation against budget / prior month.
Who needs this

The teams we work with

Founders and SME promoters who want their books closed monthly, accurately, with minimal hand-holding. Typical clients:

  • Early-stage SaaS / D2C startups (revenue ₹1–20 crore).
  • Growing SMEs (₹20–200 crore) post-Series A / B.
  • Indian subsidiaries of foreign companies needing IFRS / US GAAP-aligned books.
  • Family businesses transitioning from a manual register to a cloud accounting system.
  • Companies with regional offices that need consolidated books at HQ.
How we work

From discovery to year-end audit kit

  • Discovery — we understand transaction volume, software preference, monthly close timeline.
  • Onboarding (week 1–2) — chart of accounts, opening balances, integrations, cut-off discipline.
  • Daily / weekly cadence — entries posted, queries logged.
  • Monthly close — close calendar agreed with the client (typically T+5 to T+10 working days from month end).
  • Partner review — trial balance and management accounts reviewed by a partner before delivery.
  • Exception report — anomalies, missing documents, vendor / customer escalations flagged to the client.
  • Audit support — year-end audit kit prepared with schedules, supporting documents, register exports.
Software stack

Platforms we work on natively

We work natively on:

  • Zoho Books — the most popular pick for small and growing SMEs.
  • QuickBooks Online — common for foreign-subsidiary clients reporting upstream.
  • Tally Prime — for traditional businesses with on-premise data.
  • Xero — less common in India but supported.

For each, we maintain integration paths to Indian banks, GST returns, payment gateways and HRMS systems. We can migrate from one platform to another as part of the bookkeeping engagement (see cloud accounting setup).

FAQ

Common questions on outsourced bookkeeping

Will you use our existing accounting software or migrate us?

Either. We can pick up where you are, or migrate you to a more efficient platform (see cloud accounting setup). Migration is scoped separately.

Who controls the data?

You do. The accounting system instance is in your name. We are users with role-based access. You can revoke access any time.

Do you handle our payments and disbursements?

By default no. We prepare payment files and reconcile, but the actual payment authorisation stays with you. We can take payment-execution permissions on request, with a separate engagement letter.

What happens during the monthly close week?

We finalise entries, run reconciliations, post adjustment entries, prepare management accounts, and submit for partner review. Client query loops happen in days T+1 to T+8 (depending on size). Final delivery by T+10 at the latest.
