CA Support
Ongoing Chartered Accountant advisory and support for recurring accounting and compliance needs.
What's covered
- Ongoing CA support is a retainer-based arrangement under which a qualified Chartered Accountant is available to a business for recurring accounting, compliance, and advisory queries — without the cost of a full-time finance hire.
- For small and medium businesses, compliance obligations do not arrive on a single date. GST returns, TDS deposits, advance tax payments, MCA filings, and payroll-related statutory dues each have their own timelines throughout the year. Having a CA on retainer ensures each obligation is tracked and met without the business having to manage the compliance calendar itself.
- Beyond deadline management, ongoing CA support covers the queries that arise in the normal course of business — the tax treatment of a new contract, the documentation required for a banking transaction, or the implications of a change in the business structure. These answers inform decisions in real time rather than after the fact.
- The arrangement is structured around the specific needs of the business — the scope, frequency of interaction, and mode of communication are agreed at the outset and can be adjusted as the business grows.
