Our team provides valuation support and guidance during seed, angel, and venture rounds, helps navigate term sheet negotiations and due diligence, and ensures complete alignment with FEMA, Companies Act, and SEBI guidelines for equity funding.

Virtual CFO and Financial Strategy

We manage budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow with a focus on financial stability and growth. Our expertise includes setting up MIS and performance dashboards for investor reporting, offering strategic advisory on cost optimization and revenue planning, and providing on-demand CFO support for key financial decisions and investor interactions.

Tax and Legal Advisory

We provide tax registrations and structuring designed for optimal efficiency, along with expert guidance on startup tax benefits under Section 80-IAC and related government schemes. Our support also extends to ESOP design, contract reviews, and formulation of sound financial policies to strengthen your startup’s foundation.

Our process

Detailed Assessment

Our experts conduct a thorough assessment of your financials, internal controls, and existing processes. This step allows us to identify potential risks, compliance gaps, and areas for optimization.
