Bookkeeping is the steady, careful work of recording every sale, purchase, payment and receipt. It is the foundation for your GST returns, income tax filings, audits and financial reports.

Bookkeeping Services: FAQs
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping is the recording and organising of financial transactions, such as sales, purchases and payments. Accounting builds on those records to prepare financial statements, analyse results, file tax returns and advise on decisions. Good bookkeeping is the base that makes accurate accounting possible. Our accounting plans include bookkeeping along with filings and reporting.
Is bookkeeping mandatory for small businesses in India?
Many businesses are required to maintain books of account under the Income Tax Act and the GST law, and companies and LLPs must maintain proper books under their respective laws. Whether specific rules apply to you depends on your type of entity, profession and income or turnover. Even where it is not strictly required, good books make filing and borrowing easier.
Can you clean up books that are months behind?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is common. We start from your last reliable balances, gather bank statements and invoices for the missing period, and record and reconcile the transactions. Once the backlog is cleared, regular monthly bookkeeping keeps things current. The time required depends on the volume of transactions.
How do I share documents with the bookkeeper?
Most clients share documents through cloud folders or directly through cloud accounting software, and some send bank statements by secure email. We agree a simple routine at onboarding, such as uploading invoices weekly and statements monthly, so the books stay current without extra effort on your part.
How is the bookkeeping fee decided?
Bookkeeping is quoted based on the number of transactions, bank accounts and entities involved, and whether catch-up work is needed. Once we understand your volume, we share a clear quote. If you also need payroll, GST and TDS filings, an accounting plan may offer better value.
