CFO Solutions:

Finance is the life blood for any thriving organisation and a good CFO brings the desired structure and sanctity to the role given the case for ever evolving laws and regulations. Further, where the business involves cross border transactions, the need to engage and work with professionals across jurisdictions is inevitable and makes the role extremely complicated. For start-ups this is a cost better not front loaded given their organisational priorities and limited resources. For many businesses, this could be a significant cost which may not warrant an adequate return on investment. A strong organisational CFO substitutes the need for an expensive individual and replaces the profile with an entire team for the designated role at a fraction of the cost. Our CFO offerings are as under:

Global CFO:

Global CFO/ project management has been one of niche offerings to clients intending to grow their businesses inorganically across geographies. In this offering, a client proposes his intention to engage into a particular business in a specific geography and states his intended business model.

Through our network of professionals, we perform a detailed feasibility of the proposed business idea and submit a “Business Feasibility Study”. Basis the study, if the client intends to proceed with the opportunity, our team proposes a “Practical” business structure for investment and repatriation of profits in the most efficient and compliant manner. Further, we implement the structure and manage the on-going compliance & regulatory needs of our clients throughout the business life-cycle across jurisdictions. Our Global Project Management offering has been one of our significant and path-breaking solutions which has facilitated many small/mid businesses to enter into the bigger league globally.

Virtual CFO:

Setting up businesses in unknown geographies could be a daunting task for small and mid-sized businesses given the ambiguities involved and the myriad of domestic compliance.

Engaging a full-time executive CFO may not justify the investment involved since significant part of the work is front loaded and subsequent activities are more in the nature of maintenance engagements.

Virtual CFO is a seasoned finance professional who helps you in running your finance function with his expert advice and hands on involvement. As a virtual CFO, we engage a dedicated resource who shall perform the following activities:

  • Monitor the compliance of pre-agreed budgets and operating business plan of the Company;
  • Review the costs/expenses above the pre-decided threshold level before the payment is made by the Company
  • Supervise the accounts team and Reviewing and presentation of MIS to the equity investors on a periodical basis
  • Assist in budgeting & forecasting including sensitivity analysis under different market scenarios
  • Assist on implementing financial processes & controls in conjunction with client team
  • Reviewing compliance of direct and indirect tax, Companies Act matters, ROC filings, etc. in conjunction with the Company officials

Start-up CFO:

India is touted as one of the fastest growing start-up hubs of the world, particularly post COVID 19 and is home to some of the largest unicorns in this space. The common challenge faced by every start-up entrepreneur is that, how their dream idea can become a sustainable business? Myriad of questions like what would be the constitution? How do I get to structure my relationship with my co-founder? How do I structure ESOPs for my initial employees? How to negotiate my initial investment deals? These and many more questions need to be successfully addressed before a start-up gets to set the ball rolling.

We work closely with start-up hubs and entrepreneurs to ensure their structure is in place, their legal and regulatory obligations are honoured and their finances accounted appropriately. Our Start-up CFO solution ensures that start-ups have a dedicated professional at a fraction of the cost to meet the requirements of a fledgling business till they grow to hire their own legal and finance team.

  • With our offices located at all major cities of India, we help to get the claims of our claims processed speedily. We also effectively represent the cases of our clients before regulatory bodies like SEBI, RBI, DGFT, DIC, etc.

Incentives on Product Exports - DGFT

Almost every service provider who is exporting some or all of his services, i.e. catering to international clients, is eligible for claiming a rebate of 3% / 5% from Directorate General of Foreign Trade. Whether you are into outsourcing of legal services, accounting, engineering, architectural, advertising, publishing, testing, education, tourism & transport, do take the benefit of this incentive as it will directly increase your net profit up to 5 percent of your aggregate turnover.

EPCG – 100% exemption on Import Duties

There are two events on which EPCG benefit can be taken, one is while importing, and the other is for local purchases. As far as importing is concerned, customs duty paid (currently ranging from 25 to 30%) is waived off against future exports. Similarly, excise duty payable on local purchases can also be waived off by committing future exports. Please note that EPCG claims are available not only on import transactions but also for local excisable purchases.

FCRA Compliance by Trusts / NGOs:

It may be routine to establish a legal structure for an NGO or a Trust but what is crucial for a qualified professional is to first assess the client’s needs and then suggest what would suit him best. We have a multi decade experience in forming Trusts, AOPs, and Cooperative Societies after carefully going through your requirements. Whether it is getting registration certificate under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act or any other object, we serve as our clients single point of contact for everything that they would need. In our opinion, what is more important is to regularly comply after obtaining the registration, failing which there can be serious consequences. We therefore advise our clients from the beginning on what needs to be complied on an on-going basis.
