FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to engage the firm for everything?
No. You can engage the firm for a single filing, a notice reply or a one-time project, or for ongoing compliance. The scope is agreed in writing each time.
How do you charge?
Fees are quoted in writing after the scope is understood. They depend on the volume of transactions, number of registrations or entities, complexity and time involved.
Can you take over from my existing accountant or CA?
Yes. Before taking over, a new auditor communicates with the previous auditor where the ICAI Code of Ethics requires it. For accounting and returns, a handover checklist of filings, credentials and pending items is prepared.
Do you arrange loans?
The firm prepares project reports, CMA data and financial projections and supports the documentation that banks and NBFCs ask for. The lending decision always rests with the lender.
