One engagement, one team, one retainer
The Full-BPO model is the bundled version of our outsourcing practice:
- Bookkeeping — full ledger maintenance with monthly close.
- Payroll — including statutory deposits and returns.
- Statutory compliance — GST returns, TDS, PF / ESI, PT, ROC.
- Accounts payable — vendor onboarding, invoice processing, payment-run preparation.
- Accounts receivable — customer invoicing, dunning, collections support.
- Monthly MIS — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, KPI dashboards.
- Audit support — year-end audit kit, statutory audit assistance.
- Tax filings — ITR, TDS returns, GST annual returns.
One engagement letter, one monthly retainer, one partner-led team. The right pick for SMEs that don’t want to manage 4–5 different vendors.
The classic BPO client profile
The classic BPO client profile:
- SME with revenue ₹5–100 crore who finds it cheaper to outsource than to hire a 3–5 person finance team.
- Founder-driven business where the founder doesn’t want to manage finance staff.
- Indian subsidiary of a foreign company that wants Indian compliance handled professionally.
- Family-owned business inheriting an under-resourced finance function.
- Pre-fundraise companies that need a clean, audited-grade finance function for due diligence.
The people who run your back-office
Each BPO engagement gets:
- Engagement partner — signs off on every monthly close, presents to your board / investors.
- Manager — day-to-day quality and exception handling.
- Senior accountant — books, payroll, reconciliations.
- Statutory team — GST, TDS, PF / ESI, ROC specialists.
- Tax team — for ITR and tax planning.
The team works on your accounting platform and HRMS. We don’t move data to ours unless explicitly requested.
Onboarding through steady-state to annual cycle
- Onboarding (4–6 weeks) — full transition: opening balances, system access, master data, cut-off discipline, escalation matrix.
- Steady state — daily transaction processing, weekly internal review, monthly close + MIS + statutory deposits + tax filings.
- Monthly governance call with the engagement partner.
- Quarterly business review — performance against budget, working-capital review, action items.
- Annual cycle — statutory audit support, ITR filing, ROC filings, AGM compliance, transfer-pricing study (if applicable).

Common questions on Full-BPO
How is BPO different from Virtual CFO?
BPO is the back-office; Virtual CFO is the senior financial-leadership layer. Many clients take both — BPO runs the close, Virtual CFO runs the strategy, lender relationships and board reporting. We can structure as separate engagements or one bundled retainer.
Do we still need an in-house accountant?
Most BPO clients have one or zero in-house finance person, who acts as the company-side liaison. The need depends on transaction complexity and size. We can advise on the right in-house structure during onboarding.
What if we outgrow the BPO model?
Many clients eventually hire an in-house finance team and graduate to using us for compliance, audit and tax only. We pre-build the transition path so handover is smooth.
Will you sign confidentiality / non-compete?
Standard NDA at engagement start. Non-compete is uncommon for our practice but can be added on request.
