Finance and compliance support for Chennai businesses
Chennai is one of India's main manufacturing and export centres, with an automotive corridor, two major ports and a long-established export processing zone. We support manufacturers, exporters and the service businesses around them, remotely from Bengaluru.

The business base
What drives business in Chennai
The automotive and electronics corridor through Sriperumbudur, Oragadam and Singaperumalkoil is a dense network of suppliers to vehicle and equipment makers. Export volumes move through the Chennai and Kamarajar ports, and the Madras Export Processing Zone at Tambaram, set up in 1984 and now an SEZ, is one of the country's earliest export zones.
For these businesses the finance questions are export realisation, duty and incentive claims, SEZ compliance and costing that holds up against a customer's audit. The city also has a large technology services base and a long tradition of family-run trading and manufacturing firms.

Local compliance
What differs in Tamil Nadu
GST, TDS, PF and ESI work the same way everywhere. These are the state and local obligations we track on top of them.
- Professional tax levied by the local body — the Greater Chennai Corporation within city limits — and paid half-yearly.
- Tamil Nadu Labour Welfare Fund contributions, payable annually.
- SEZ unit compliance, including the annual performance report and the net foreign exchange position.
- Export realisation tracked against each shipping bill, so that incentives and GST refunds are not held up.

Questions from Chennai businesses
Do you have an office in Chennai?
No. We work with Chennai businesses remotely from Bengaluru. Where an engagement needs time on site — a plant visit or a physical verification — we agree it at the start.
Can you support a unit in an SEZ?
Yes. We support SEZ units with the records, reconciliations and reporting that SEZ rules require, including the annual performance report and the net foreign exchange calculation. Anything that needs a licensed professional's certification is coordinated with one.
Statutory audits, prescribed certifications and other restricted work are signed by an independently engaged licensed professional, wherever the client is based. Full detail is on our Professional Scope page.
