Bookkeeping

Your Books, Current — Every Month, Without Managing an Accountant — Bookkeeping is the foundation everything else sits on. Before any GST return can be filed accurately, before a TDS deposit can be reconciled, before a loan application can show real numbers, the books have to be correct. Most small businesses discover this the hard way: an unsorted pile of receipts at year-end, a bank statement that does not match the filed returns, an auditor asking for a transaction that cannot be found. FinTax24's monthly bookkeeping service keeps that pile from accumulating in the first place.

The engagement runs on a monthly cycle. Every month the process is the same: post sales, purchases, expenses and bank entries; reconcile every account; and deliver the P&L, balance sheet and GST-sales dashboard by the fifth working day. The books are maintained on Tally Prime, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books — whichever your existing team or auditor already uses. We do not move you to a new software platform as a condition of the engagement.

What Changes When Your Books Are Actually Current

A Surat textile firm that was reconciling books once a year discovered — six months into FinTax24's monthly cadence — that a fabric supplier had been overbilling by ₹1.2 lakh across three invoices. The error was visible in the payable aging report in month two, caught in month three, and resolved before the next payment run. That is what monthly reconciliation actually does: it makes errors small because they are found quickly. An Ahmedabad e-commerce seller carrying GST input tax credit across six marketplace accounts found the same thing in the GSTR-2B reconciliation — mismatched invoices worth ₹83,000 — before the annual return closed the claiming window.

For businesses preparing for a loan, a tax audit, or an investor conversation, having audit-ready books is not a luxury. Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act requires a tax audit for proprietors with turnover above ₹10 lakh and companies above ₹1 crore. The audit cannot start — and the audit report cannot be filed by the due date — if the books are not closed. FinTax24 maintains the 44AA working papers and the audit schedules throughout the year so that when the auditor arrives, the trial balance, ledgers and supporting vouchers are already organised. The statutory auditor can start immediately without requesting documents that do not exist.

Dedicated Accountant, Not a Shared Inbox

Every engagement assigns a named qualified accountant to your entity — not a shared queue where the person answering your WhatsApp does not know your business. You get direct access to that accountant during business hours, and a reviewer sits above the work before it is delivered. If your statutory auditor asks a question about a specific entry, the accountant who made that entry is available to answer it. The same continuity applies to the year-end close: the accountant who has posted every month closes the year, not someone handed a file in March with no context.

The monthly fee covers all entries, bank reconciliation, GST-sales reconciliation, MIS delivery, and the year-end close. TDS return filing, payroll runs, and ROC or GST annual returns are separate retainers — and the accountant will flag when any of those are approaching their due date so nothing is missed.
