Keep books accurate

Outsourced accounting

We operate your accounting function: books kept current, balances reconciled, and records ready for management review — inside the accounting system you already run.

Prepare for funding and growth

Fractional CFO services

Senior financial leadership applied to cash, planning, profitability and board-level decisions — an advisory and operating layer above your existing team rather than a replacement for it.

Understand performance

MIS and financial planning

We convert accounting data into reporting, forecasts and dashboards a non-financial manager can act on without interpretation.

Stay compliance-ready

GST, TDS and tax compliance

We organise the data, reconciliations and documentation behind GST, TDS and income-tax compliance, so filings are prepared against a calendar rather than assembled under deadline pressure.

Stay compliance-ready

ROC and corporate compliance

We maintain the corporate-compliance calendar and documentation for companies and LLPs, so annual and event-based filings are prepared in sequence rather than at the deadline.

Stay compliance-ready

Payroll and labour compliance

We run a controlled payroll operation connecting attendance, salary, statutory deductions, employee payouts and accounting into a single reconciled process.

Explore service ↗
Improve controls

Internal audit

We conduct independent internal audits that identify control gaps, leakage and process weakness — and track corrective action through to closure.

Explore service ↗
Improve controls

Internal controls and risk

We replace informal, person-dependent practice with documented, testable financial and operational controls, proportionate to the stage of the business.

Improve controls

SOP and process consulting

We convert undocumented, person-dependent finance work into measurable operating procedures, so the process holds when a key person is unavailable.

Explore service ↗
Understand performance

Costing and profitability

We establish true cost, contribution and profitability by product, customer, project, service or channel — frequently a different picture from the one revenue alone suggests.

Explore service ↗
Prepare for funding and growth

Banking, funding and due diligence

We prepare the financial information, models and documentation lenders, investors and counterparties actually request — consistent, reconciled, and able to withstand follow-up questions.

Explore service ↗
Keep books accurate

Finance technology and automation

We improve the systems and workflows behind accounting, reporting, billing, approvals and compliance — usually by correcting how a tool is configured rather than adding another one.

Explore service ↗
Specialised regulatory advisory

SEZ and foreign trade advisory

We act as a specialised operating and compliance partner for export-oriented organisations under the SEZ, EOU, EHTP and STP frameworks — from unit establishment through ongoing operational records.

Specialised regulatory advisory

ESG and sustainability advisory

We convert sustainability expectations — from regulators, investors and customers — into governance, policy, data, operational change and reporting the organisation can evidence.

Explore service ↗
Start or restructure the entity

Business setup and registrations

We obtain the statutory registrations a business needs to operate, and set up the record-keeping each one demands afterwards — so a registration does not quietly become a liability.

Explore service ↗
Start or restructure the entity

Entity formation and documentation

We draft and assemble the documents that constitute an organisation — incorporation papers, partnership and LLP deeds, bye-laws for trusts, societies and associations — written around how it will actually be run.

Explore service ↗
Stay compliance-ready

Tax planning advisory

We work through the tax consequences of a decision while it can still be shaped — how a transaction is structured, how an entity is organised, when something happens — and document the basis for the position taken.

Explore service ↗
Buy, sell or restructure a business

Transaction advisory and due diligence

We run the diligence behind a transaction and hold the whole process together: quality of earnings, working capital, net debt and tax, with legal, intellectual property, secretarial and compliance workstreams coordinated through a single point of contact.

How the services compound

These services are built to connect rather than sit in silos. Accurate bookkeeping produces reliable MIS; reliable MIS supports internal controls and costing decisions; and both inform the CFO-level conversations about cash, pricing and growth. You can begin at any point and add the next layer when the business is ready.

Scope and professional coordination

5th Quadrant performs preparation, advisory, execution support, coordination, process implementation and management reporting across every service above. Where law requires a practising CA, CS, CMA, Registered Valuer, Advocate, accredited certification body, assurance provider or another authorised professional, that professional is independently appointed or engaged for the restricted component — from our network of trusted partners, or a firm you already work with. See our Professional Scope page for the full detail.
