Industry knowledge that shows up in the work.

Over the years we've come to know certain industries the way an insider does — the operating rhythms, the regulatory pressure points, the numbers that matter. That experience shows up in everything from how we plan an audit to how we read a financial statement.

01

Scheduled private banks

With two partners who began their careers inside Federal Bank, banking is where we feel most at home. We work on concurrent audits, stock and book debts audits, statutory audits, and a range of advisory engagements for scheduled commercial banks and their group entities.

02

NBFCs

Deep, current experience with RBI regulations governing NBFCs — capital adequacy, asset classification, provisioning, and reporting. We audit and advise NBFCs of varying sizes.

03

Construction & real estate

Revenue recognition, project accounting, RERA compliance, and the tax issues that come with land, joint development, and sale of constructed property.

04

Manufacturing

Inventory and costing audits, GST classification, capital subsidies, and cost-of-production analyses — for manufacturers operating across Kerala and beyond.

05

IT & ITeS

STPI and SEZ compliance, export documentation, transfer pricing for related-party software services, and the international tax angles that come with cross-border delivery.

06

Healthcare

Hospitals, diagnostic chains, and clinics — finance function support, GST advisory on healthcare services, and statutory audit.

07

FMCG distribution

Margin analytics, scheme reconciliations, channel audits, and the working-capital discipline distributors live and die by.

08

Insurance broking

IRDAI compliance, brokerage reconciliations, and audit support tailored to the regulatory environment.

09

Trading

Statutory audit, GST compliance, and finance function support for trading houses across commodity and consumer categories.

10

Advertising & marketing firms

Project-based revenue, GST classification of services, and TDS issues that creative agencies routinely run into.

11

Service sector firms

Professional services, consulting, hospitality, and other service businesses — audit, tax, and compliance under one roof.

12

Startups

From incorporation and DPIIT recognition through to ESOP structuring, fundraising support, and the first audited financials — we work with founders from day one.

13

Not-for-profit organisations

Trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies — statutory audit, FCRA and 12A/80G compliance, and the financial reporting expected by funders.
