Advisory / CFO Advisory
Finance functions built to a standard that holds.
Under the auditor. Under the lender. Under the board. We build, staff and run the finance function, from the ledger to the board pack, for companies whose reporting has to withstand examination.
A two-week diagnostic tells you where your finance function stands, what to fix first, and what each gap costs. Fixed fee. The report is yours either way.

Chartered Accountant-led, with qualified delivery
Advice is the easy half. We do the other half.
Our CFO Advisory practice serves clients across sectors from offices in Gurugram and Mumbai. As accounting and reporting requirements grow more complex, companies increasingly seek external support not only for advice on technical matters but for the actual implementation of accounting projects: financial statements for capital market activities, special purpose accounts for transactions and restructuring, reporting to an overseas parent under a second framework, or outsourcing of all or part of the book-keeping and accounting function.
We have developed a set of services addressing those needs across the finance value chain: transactional processing through P2P, R2R and O2C; periodic MIS; statutory financial statements under Schedule III; audit support representing management; and the planning and analysis layer above the ledger. Engagements are led by Chartered Accountants, scoped in writing, and delivered by a qualified team working inside your systems.
When clients call us.
Rarely in a calm quarter. The call usually follows one of four events, and in each the constraint is capacity and skill arriving faster than a hire can be made.
01
Growth outpaced the function
Turnover has multiplied and the finance team has not been redesigned since it was two people and one accounting licence.
02
A key person resigned
The controller or senior accountant has left, taking undocumented process with them, and the close is due in three weeks.
03
The skill is not in the building
Consolidation, a second reporting framework or a technical treatment that nobody in the team has handled before.
04
Scrutiny is coming
An audit, a lender review, a diligence process or a listing, against books that were built to file rather than to be questioned.
Who this is for.
Six positions we are built for. Most clients arrive in two of them at once.
Processing
Businesses requiring reliable and timely finance, accounting and tax compliance processing across the finance value chain
Technical skill
Firms in need of the right skill set to prepare financial statements and provide audit support representing the management
Cost and capacity
Organisations looking to reduce cost and release capacity through automation, analytics and better-designed finance processes
Group structure
Groups managing multiple entities, intercompany transactions and consolidation across currencies and reporting frameworks
Overseas parent
Indian subsidiaries and joint ventures reporting to a parent under IFRS or US GAAP alongside Ind AS statutory filings
Examination
Companies preparing for examination: a statutory audit, a lender review, a diligence process or a listing
Our offerings.
Eleven service lines. Most engagements begin with two or three and extend as the function stabilises.
Managed services, including book-keeping
Outsourcing of accounting and reporting processes across the finance value chain. Transactional accounting covering end-to-end book-keeping, procure-to-pay, record-to-report and order-to-cash; bank, vendor, customer and intercompany reconciliations; periodic MIS; statutory financial statements; audit support; and CFO-level oversight of the whole.
Our point of view.
01
Your chart of accounts quietly decides which questions the business is allowed to ask.
It is usually built in the company's first month, by whoever was available, around the heads a tax return happens to need. Every question management later wants to put to its own data (which branch, which product, which contract) is either answerable from that structure or it is not. By the time anyone notices, there are years of history mapped to it. Rebuilding it is the least glamorous and highest-return work in finance.
02
Working capital is not a finance problem. It is a sales and procurement problem finance is told about last.
By the time a stretched cycle reaches the cash flow, the terms were conceded months earlier by people carrying a revenue target and no cash target. A better forecast makes the damage visible sooner; it does not prevent it. What moves the number is changing who holds authority to agree terms. That is an organisational decision, not a reporting one. We will say so even when the brief was to build a forecast.
03
The date you close your books is the most honest control test you will ever run.
Controls in mid-market companies are rarely tested; they are described in a document nobody opens. But a broken control cannot hide from the calendar. It surfaces as a delay, a query, a reconciliation that will not tie. A company closing on working day ten has controls that function, whatever its documentation claims. One closing on day twenty-five is telling you something its process map will not.
Engage a service, or engage a role.
Where the gap is a person rather than a process, we place one: on contract, for a defined period, reporting to you.
Contract roles
- Chief Financial Officer, on a fractional or interim basis
- Financial Controller
- Management accountant and financial accountant
- Accounts payable and receivable cover
Project roles
- Project accountant for a close, clean-up or migration
- Finance-side partner on an ERP implementation
- Process improvement and automation specialist
- Reporting and analytics build, including Power BI
No placement fee and no recruitment commitment. A role can be scaled up, scaled down or ended on notice as the function stabilises.
How we engage.
STEP 01
Consultation
Thirty minutes on the business, the pressure points and the decisions ahead. No charge, no pitch deck.
STEP 02
Diagnostic
Two weeks at a fixed fee, covering the close cycle, reporting layer, systems, roles and statutory position. Delivered as a written report with prioritised remediation. Yours whether or not we proceed.
STEP 03
Scope and transition
A written scope setting out what transfers, what stays in-house, service levels, reporting calendar and escalation. Transition is phased so reporting never stops.
STEP 04
Steady state
Weekly cash reporting. Monthly close to an agreed date with pack and review. Quarterly forecast reset and board reporting. Annual budget, audit file and statutory reporting.
Engagements are priced monthly against an agreed scope, not hourly, not per transaction. Rolling term with defined notice.
