Overview

Built for founders who
move fast — and need
their finances to keep up.

Startups face a unique set of financial and regulatory challenges that traditional CA practices aren't built for — DPIIT registration, ESOP schemes, convertible notes, FEMA compliance for foreign investment, and investor-grade financial reporting all have to happen simultaneously, often under time pressure.

We work exclusively with founders who want a CA partner who understands the startup ecosystem — someone who knows the difference between a CCPS and a CCD, can get your DPIIT certificate done in days, and will be in your cap table conversation without slowing it down.

"Most founders encounter financial and regulatory complexity exactly when they can least afford distractions — during a fundraise. Getting the right CA structure in place early removes that friction entirely."

This service is ideal for:
  • First-time founders incorporating a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act 2013
  • Startups seeking DPIIT recognition under the Startup India initiative for tax benefits under Section 80-IAC
  • Companies raising angel, seed, or Series A funding from Indian or foreign investors
  • Founders designing ESOP schemes for employees under the Companies Act rules
  • Startups with foreign investment requiring FEMA and RBI compliance
  • Growing businesses needing their first Virtual CFO-level financial infrastructure

Is This Right For You?

Let's be clear about fit.

This is the right fit if you:
  • Are incorporating or have recently incorporated a startup
  • Are planning to raise angel, seed, or institutional funding within 12–18 months
  • Have received foreign investment or are planning to accept it
  • Want to offer ESOPs to your founding team or early employees
  • Need DPIIT recognition for angel tax exemption under Sec 56(2)(viib)
This may not be the right fit if you:
  • Are running a traditional business with no growth or funding plans
  • Need only basic bookkeeping without advisory
  • Already have an experienced CFO managing financial strategy
  • Are a large, established company beyond the startup growth phase
