We take on the tax positions a growing Indian company gets itself into, close them on the record, and then run the finance function so the same position does not open again.
Tax concerns? We are the solution. A reassessment notice arrives under Section 148A. A GSTR-2B reconciliation stops tying to the books, three quarters running. A related-party charge agreed on a call two years ago becomes the subject of a Section 92CA reference. Tax-Samadhan exists to close positions like these on the record, with working papers that hold up when someone else reads them.
For a company between ₹5 crore and ₹100 crore of revenue, tax is rarely a filing problem. Returns get filed. It is a documentation problem, and it surfaces years after the decision that caused it. Input tax credit was claimed against invoices a supplier never uploaded. A management fee to a group company was set at a round number and never benchmarked. A director’s current account was squared off in the ledger with no board resolution behind it. Each of those is comfortable in the month it happens and awkward in year four, when an assessing officer asks for the basis.
Our tax work runs in two directions at once. Backwards, to establish what position was actually taken, what evidence exists for it, and what range of outcomes is realistic if it is challenged. Forwards, so that the next GSTR-9C, the next Form 3CD and the next Form 3CEB rest on something more durable than the memory of whoever prepared them.
Tax is where most clients meet us. It is rarely where the engagement ends, because the position that produced the notice was usually created upstream, in how the books were kept or how a transaction was papered. Five categories, seventeen services, all delivered under the same scoping and review discipline.
GST advisory and compliance. Direct tax advisory and litigation support. International tax and transfer pricing. Notice and assessment representation, including faceless proceedings where the entire case is made in writing.
Transaction advisory through diligence and structuring. Lead advisory for buy-side and sell-side mandates. Forensic advisory and investigation where the question is what actually happened to the money.
Virtual CFO. Accounting and assurance advisory under Ind AS and the applicable Accounting Standards. Accounts receivable and accounts payable management, run against agreed ageing and approval rules.
Business valuation for regulatory and commercial purposes. Project research and feasibility studies before capital is committed. Investment research for investment committees that have to record a basis.
Digital transformation of the finance stack. Data analytics and business intelligence built on the ledger rather than beside it. Data reconciliation across gateways, marketplaces, banks and the books.
The sequence is the same whether the work is a single GST reconciliation or a monthly Virtual CFO retainer. Nothing chargeable starts before the scope is written down and accepted.
A call to establish the position, the deadline attached to it, and whether we are the right firm for it. We will say so when we are not. The call is arranged for the next business day after an enquiry reaches us.
You receive the scope in writing before anything is charged: what is included, what is excluded by name, what we need from you, what you will receive, and the fee with GST shown separately.
A single, itemised information request rather than a series of ad hoc emails. Access is taken to the minimum systems the work requires, on named accounts, and is withdrawn at closure.
Preparation and review are done by different people. You see a draft with the reasoning and the working papers referenced, not a finished document you are expected to accept unread.
Final deliverable, a walkthrough of what it says and what it deliberately does not, and a written note of the next dates that matter. Working papers are retained so the position can be reconstructed later.
A young firm cannot ask to be trusted on reputation it has not had time to build. It can be held to terms it puts in public, before a client has paid anything.
Prices displayed exclude GST. Indian billing addresses attract GST at the applicable rate; supplies to overseas clients are treated as zero-rated export of services.
We work remotely rather than from a client’s office. That is a deliberate choice, not a cost apology. It means documents live in a controlled repository instead of on someone’s laptop, that reviews happen on the file rather than over a desk, and that a client in Dubai, London or the eastern United States is served by the same team as a client in Delhi NCR.
Working hours are Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 18:30 IST. That covers the full Gulf working day, the first half of the UK working day, and the opening of the US East Coast morning. Calls outside those hours are arranged in advance rather than assumed.
The most useful first conversation is the specific one. Bring the notice, the reconciliation that will not tie, the term sheet, or the month-end that keeps slipping. You will get an assessment of what is actually at stake and a written scope, or a straight answer that the work is not ours to do.
