Business advisory

The call before the decision.

Private limited or LLP? Take the investor's money now or in a year? What does that term sheet do to your cap table? Advisory is the call before the decision: entity choice, budgets and projections, getting your numbers investor-ready, and the questions that only appear once the business is growing.

Frequently asked.

How does an engagement start?

With a conversation. Tell us what you are building and where the finance side hurts, and we will come back with a scope and a fee in writing. Use the form above, WhatsApp or email, whichever is easier.

What do you charge?

Fees depend on scope, so we do not publish rates. After a first conversation we set out in writing what is covered and what it costs, and nothing starts until you have agreed it.

Can you help with a tax notice or a dispute?

Yes. Litigation and representation are part of our tax support, alongside structuring, due diligence and training. If you have received a notice, note the reply-by date printed on it and get in touch before then. Tell us which authority issued it; we will explain how to share the document securely rather than over a first message.

What should I have ready for a first conversation?

Nothing formal. Incorporation or registration documents if you have them, the last filed returns if any, and a clear sense of what is worrying you. Hold back PAN, Aadhaar, passwords and bank details until we have agreed how to share them.

Who do you work with?

Mostly start-ups and growing businesses in and around Bangalore: founders who need the finance side run properly while they build. We also take on established companies for tax, structuring and transaction work.

Do you handle registrations?

Yes: GST, PAN and TAN, Karnataka Professional Tax, and PF and ESI once you have staff. Tell us the entity type and what you sell and we will list what you actually need, since not every business needs all of them.

What does "CFO services" actually include?

Bookkeeping, MIS reporting, regulatory compliance and payroll management, run as one finance function. The scope is set to what you need: only clean books and filings, or monthly reporting and a finance partner in the room for decisions.

Where are you based?

Padmanabhanagar, South Bangalore. Most of the work happens over calls, email and shared documents, so clients elsewhere in India work with us the same way; the office is there when a meeting helps.

Is anything I type on this site stored?

No. The tools run entirely in your browser, and the contact form opens WhatsApp or your email app with the message filled in; you press send. The only thing kept is your motion preference, in your own browser.
