What the Complimentary CFO Services includes
Everyone says “complimentary.” Here's exactly what ours covers.
No vague promises. A senior finance professional works through six concrete areas of your business - and hands the findings back to you in writing.
Business model & performance review
We map your business model, revenue streams, cost drivers and the KPIs that actually move the needle - so you can see what's driving, and draining, the business.
Strategy & growth alignment
We understand your strategic goals, current challenges and growth plans, then pressure-test whether your finances are built to support them.
Controls & month-end close
We review internal controls, reconciliations and month-end closing procedures to surface the gaps that quietly create risk and delay.
Reporting, MIS & compliance
We evaluate your financial reporting, management information systems (MIS) and statutory compliance processes against best practice.
Compliance calendar
We prepare a compliance calendar so every statutory obligation has an owner and a date - nothing slips through the cracks.
SOP development
We help develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) so your finance function runs consistently, even as the team and business scale.
Six review tracks
A CFO looks everywhere. So do we.
We surface the non-obvious - the risks and quick wins a year-end audit was never designed to catch.
Financial Architecture
Entity map, intercompany flows, holding structure - for businesses that have grown faster than their financial design.
Compliance & Regulatory Health
FEMA, RBI, GST, foreign asset disclosure - surface blind spots before they become notices.
Fundraise Readiness
Cap table hygiene, ESOP pool, valuation methodology and investor-facing financials.
Personal Wealth & Tax
Income routing, dividend vs salary, LRS, overseas structure - for promoter families.
Succession & Governance
Shareholder agreements, succession planning, ring-fencing personal vs business assets.
Management Reporting
MIS review, KPI dashboards and best-practice benchmarking for leadership visibility.
Play the long game
Growth is a game of position, not luck.
The founders who win aren't the ones working hardest on the books - they're the ones who can see the whole board. A Complimentary CFO Service gives you that view.
What you receive
The CFO Findings Note
A confidential, plainly-written document you keep - whether or not we ever work together again.
Top 3 financial or structural risks specific to your business
One quick win you can act on immediately
A forward agenda - what a full CFO engagement would address

How it works
Two weeks. Four steps. Almost none of it yours.
We do the 6–8 hours of analysis. You give us about two hours across the whole process.
Founder Interview
A senior finance professional sits with you to understand the business, the numbers and what's keeping you up at night.
Document Review
We review your statements, structure and filings against what best-run companies your size actually do.

Findings written up plainly - the risks that matter, ranked, with the reasoning behind each one.
Debrief Call
