    YOUR DETAILED SERVICE ROUTE

    Clarity continues beyond the first step.

    The original page-specific roadmap is retained here, with every detail available after the quick enquiry panel.

    Accuracy begins before filing. Unrecorded or misclassified transactions multiply across GST, TDS, financial statements and income-tax returns. Establish the process before the backlog becomes expensive.
    Review the decision table

    Short answer

    Companies must keep books of account at the registered office, and the Companies Act requires them to be kept for eight financial years. Accounting software used by a company must have an audit trail feature that cannot be disabled, as reported in the Accounts Rules. Bookkeeping also feeds GST returns, TDS, advance tax and the income tax return, so clean monthly records save time and penalties.

    Last updated 5 November 2026. Rules, fees and forms change, so confirm the current position on the official portal before you act.

    THE OUTCOME YOU ARE BUYING

    Current, reconciled books that management and compliance teams can actually use.

    Create a dependable monthly record of income, costs, assets, liabilities, taxes and cash instead of rebuilding the year at filing time.

    DECISION TABLE

    Select a bookkeeping cycle based on activity and reporting pressure.

    Use this table for an initial orientation. The correct route depends on the underlying facts, statutory position and intended use of the output.

    WHAT CHANGES THE SCOPE

    Complexity should be identified before the work begins.

    Volume alone does not determine effort. Entity type, record quality, prior-period gaps and the intended reliance on the output can materially change the engagement.
    01

    Entity and period

    Companies, LLPs, firms, proprietors and NGOs carry different reporting and approval requirements.

    02

    Record readiness

    Structured ledgers and reconciliations require a different effort from incomplete bank, invoice and portal records.

    03

    Transaction complexity

    Multiple states, related parties, imports, exports, payroll and unusual contracts add review points.

    04

    Purpose of output

    Routine filing, audit, funding, banking, board reporting and notice response require different levels of evidence.

    WHY REGISCORP

    One organised route from eligibility to operations.

    We connect books, reconciliations, tax filings, reporting and management decisions instead of treating each output as an isolated task.
    01

    Requirement-first review

    We begin with the entity, transaction volume, filing history and management objective before defining the scope.

    02

    Connected records

    Books, GST, TDS, income tax and corporate filings are reviewed as connected records rather than isolated portal tasks.

    03

    Visible deliverables

    The written scope identifies work, dependencies, exclusions, professional fees and expected review points.

    04

    One accountable desk

    A coordinated team keeps information requests, reconciliations, approvals and next actions organised.

    DOCUMENT READINESS

    Build the bookkeeping and accounting file around source evidence.

    A tailored checklist is issued after the entity, period, systems and intended deliverable are confirmed.Request a tailored checklist
    • Bank and payment-gateway statements
    • Sales invoices and revenue reports
    • Purchase invoices and expense evidence
    • Payroll, loan and fixed-asset records
    • Prior books, opening balances and tax returns

    OUR WORKFLOW

    Collect once. Reconcile carefully. Approve before completion.

    A controlled workflow reduces repeated requests and makes assumptions, exceptions and management approvals visible.
    01

    Set the chart

    Confirm ledgers, opening balances and accounting policies.

    02

    Collect by cut-off

    Receive source records through the agreed channel and date.

    03

    Post and reconcile

    Record transactions and test bank, customer, vendor and tax positions.

    04

    Review and close

    Resolve exceptions, obtain approvals and close the reporting period.

    INDICATIVE TIMELINE

    Understand the stages before completion.

    Timing depends on record completeness, transaction volume, clarification speed, management approvals and applicable filing deadlines. The written scope identifies the expected sequence and dependencies.
    1. 01

      Assessment

      One to three working days after sample records are received.

    2. 02

      Onboarding

      Three to seven working days for systems and opening balances.

    3. 03

      Monthly processing

      Completed against the agreed monthly information cut-off.

    4. 04

      Review closure

      Depends on how quickly exceptions and missing records are resolved.

    COMMON MISTAKES

    Avoid preventable delays, rework and scope gaps.

    These issues commonly surface after a commercial commitment, deadline or authority query has already created time pressure.
    01

    Posting from bank alone

    Bank descriptions do not establish the complete nature or tax treatment of a transaction.

    02

    No invoice discipline

    Missing source evidence weakens tax and audit positions.

    03

    Unreconciled gateways

    Payment processors can hide fees, refunds, timing differences and unsettled balances.

    04

    Wrong opening balances

    Imported errors continue into every later month.

    05

    Year-end-only accounting

    Delayed reconstruction reduces decision value and increases filing pressure.

    06

    No owner review

    The business must approve unusual classifications, estimates and unreconciled items.

    RISK CONTROL

    Financial outputs are only as reliable as the records and representations supporting them.

    Professional preparation and review improve consistency, but cannot replace missing evidence, management judgement, statutory authority decisions or an audit where one is legally required.
    • Source gapsOutputs may remain provisional until missing evidence is received.
    • Classification riskIncorrect descriptions can lead to wrong tax or reporting treatment.
    • Cut-off errorsLate invoices and settlements may fall into the wrong period.
    • System mismatchBooks, banks, marketplaces and GST data may not agree without reconciliation.

    What good bookkeeping covers

    Record every sale, purchase, expense, receipt and payment with a supporting invoice or voucher, and reconcile bank, GST and TDS data every month.

    Clean records make it easy to answer notices, claim the right input tax credit and prepare accurate financial statements.

    Rules to remember

    • Keep books and supporting records for the period the law requires; GST records are kept for the period fixed in the CGST Act, as reported.
    • Maintain an audit trail in accounting software for company books.
    • Reconcile purchase data with GSTR-2B before claiming credit.

    A recurring calendar is set around the monthly information cut-off, reconciliation review and management approval date.

    BUNDLE DECISION ANALYTICS

    Combine finance work only where the same data drives each outcome.

    Bookkeeping, payroll, GST and CFO reporting can share source records, but they solve different decisions. The useful bundle creates one approved data cycle and keeps responsibilities visible.

    Bundle routeWho it fitsCost logicTimeline logic
    OPTION 1

    Finance operations bundle

    • Monthly bookkeeping
    • Payroll processing
    • GST and TDS data coordination

    Growing teams that need one repeatable monthly close across sales, vendors and employees.

    Shared monthly inputs can reduce repeated collection and correction effort. Fees still scale with transactions and employees.

    One cut-off leads to payroll validation, ledger close, reconciliations and filings in a controlled order.

    Decision signal: Choose this when operational finance consumes founder time every month.

    OPTION 2

    Management visibility bundle

    • Reliable monthly books
    • Cash-flow and MIS reporting
    • Virtual CFO review

    Founders making hiring, pricing, funding or cash decisions without timely management numbers.

    CFO time is focused on decisions because bookkeeping creates a reliable base. Frequency and complexity determine the quote.

    Definitions and opening balances are agreed first; recurring review begins after a dependable close.

    Decision signal: Choose this when the business needs decisions, not only completed ledgers.

    OPTION 3

    Scale-readiness bundle

    • Finance diagnostic
    • Compliance calendar
    • Board, lender or investor reporting readiness

    Businesses approaching funding, lending, diligence, expansion or a finance-team transition.

    A diagnostic defines the gap before a larger engagement is sold, separating essential clean-up from optional advisory work.

    Critical gaps and deadlines are prioritised; recurring controls are installed before formal reporting.

    Decision signal: Choose this when an external decision-maker will soon examine the numbers.

    Bundle benefit is coordination—not a promise that every fee or approval disappears. The written proposal identifies shared inputs, possible professional-fee efficiencies, filing dependencies, separate statutory charges and authority-controlled timelines.
