Access CFO gives growing businesses a senior finance team — CFO judgment, controller discipline, board-ready reporting — for a fraction of what one full-time hire costs. You run the business. We run the numbers.
That gap — between "someone files my GST" and "someone owns my numbers" — is exactly where most growing businesses bleed money, miss deadlines, and fly blind. It's the only gap we work in.
₹2–20 Cr revenue
You're still approving every payment yourself and finding out your margins three months late. You need visibility before you need headcount.
₹20–80 Cr revenue
Banks want projections. Investors want data rooms. Your books were built for tax filing, not for growth. Time to institutionalise the finance function.
₹80 Cr+ revenue
You have an accounts team — what's missing is the layer above it. Strategic finance, internal controls, and someone senior who pushes back in the room.
Pick the modules that match where you are. Scale up when the business does — without a single new hire.
13-week rolling cash forecasts, working-capital discipline, receivables chasing with teeth, and early warnings before a crunch becomes a crisis.
Monthly P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and KPI packs your board and lenders actually read — closed, reconciled and delivered by the 7th.
Annual operating plans, driver-based financial models and quarterly reforecasts that tie your strategy to numbers you can actually defend.
Investor-grade financial models, clean data rooms and the numbers-side narrative — so diligence is a formality, not a fire drill.
GST, TDS, ROC, PF/ESI and payroll compliance run on a calendar, not on panic. Zero missed filings is the baseline, not the goal.
A named senior CFO in your leadership meetings — pricing calls, bank negotiations, hard decisions. On your team, not on your payroll.
Every engagement is staffed as a three-layer pod. The CFO thinks, the controller checks, the analyst executes — the same structure a ₹500 Cr company runs, scaled to fit yours.
A structured onboarding, because "we'll figure it out as we go" is not a finance strategy.
We audit your books, compliance status, cash position and reporting gaps. You get a written findings memo — blunt, prioritised, yours to keep either way.
Books cleaned, backlog cleared, compliance calendar live, chart of accounts rebuilt to tell you something useful. The foundation gets poured here.
Monthly close on schedule, MIS by the 7th, forecast reviews with your named CFO. The rhythm most companies only get after their Series B — from day 30.
Outsourced finance fails on consistency, not competence. So we publish our calendar and hold ourselves to it — you always know what lands on your desk, and when.
An experienced CFO costs ₹40–60 lakh a year — before the controller, the team, and the six months it takes to hire them. We've already done the hiring. You get the output.
No account managers, no handoffs to juniors you've never met. These are the people in your WhatsApp group from day one.

Our bank asked for three-year projections on a Tuesday. We had them Thursday, and they were defensible. That's the difference between an accountant and a CFO.
I used to find out our cash position by calling my accountant and waiting two days. Now it's a dashboard, and I've stopped waking up at 3 a.m. before payroll.
Diligence for our Series A took eleven days. The investors' counsel said it was the cleanest data room they'd seen from a company our size. That closed the round.
Your CA looks backward — filings, audits, tax. We look forward — cash, margins, decisions. Keep your CA for statutory audit; we're the finance brain in between.
Almost never. Your bookkeeper stays and gets better — we're the senior layer they report into: the controller and CFO you couldn't justify hiring full-time.
We work in your systems — Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Busy or your ERP. Migrating software is never a precondition for starting.
Every engagement runs under a signed NDA: role-based access, no client data on personal devices, and strict information barriers between account pods.
Then we've done our job. We'll help you hire and hand over a finance function that's already documented and running — many clients keep us on in a lighter scope.
Thirty days' notice, any time, either side. On exit you get every file, model and password — clients stay because they want to, not because a contract traps them.
If we're not the right fit, you'll still leave with a prioritised list of what to fix. That's the worst-case outcome.
