Accounting delivery partner · India
Outsourced accounting delivery for Indian CA firms and Indian businesses, from a dedicated Cadence team in the same time zone.
Cadence gives Indian CA firms white-label capacity for bookkeeping, GST and TDS workings, payroll processing and accounts finalisation, and gives Indian businesses a finance function without hiring. Your software, your chart of accounts, your review, your signature.
An Indian CA practice may manage monthly GST returns, QRMP quarters, TDS deposits and statements, applicable advance tax, income tax returns and company filings. The dates depend on each client's filing category and registrations: monthly GSTR-1 is normally due on the 11th and GSTR-3B on the 20th, while QRMP and other obligations differ. Cadence prepares the work in the software and to the review standard agreed with your firm.
We are white-label preparation capacity. Your firm controls client-facing work and remains responsible for review, sign-off and filing. Agree named access, the working-paper standard, a cover note for open points and the no-contact boundary in writing. Check client terms, professional duties and privacy obligations for any subcontracting disclosure before sharing records.
Startups, growing SMEs and Indian subsidiaries of overseas groups use Cadence as an outsourced accounting and MIS function: books kept weekly, vendors and customers reconciled, GST and TDS workings ready for your CA, payroll workings prepared, and a management pack on a fixed day each month. Your chartered accountant keeps the audit, the attestations, the filings and the tax advice. We work alongside that firm.
Capacity is agreed on a calendar in advance. The interactive My Cadence tracker shows dates that follow the filing category and obligations you confirm. Check portal notices and any published extension before filing.

For Indian clients there is no time-zone difference. We agree the working hours, calls, response times and batch dates in the engagement scope.
Cadence is not a practising chartered accountancy firm, does not hold a certificate of practice, and does not sign, attest, certify or file as authorised signatory. We prepare; a practising CA reviews, signs and advises. Set that division of work in the written proposal before work starts. The CA firm remains responsible for its own professional and supervision duties.
Tools may include TallyPrime, Zoho Books, ClearTax, GreytHR and the GST and income tax portals' offline utilities. Confirm software, permissions and file storage in the written scope before sharing client records. Intuit stopped QuickBooks Online services in India in 2023; do not plan an Indian QuickBooks workflow.

Tell us which software you use. We confirm compatibility, user access and working-paper handling before a trial starts.
Recurring production work can crowd out review and advisory. A delivery team working in your systems and time zone can add capacity around the filing calendar. Agree the tasks, fee, billing basis and review points in writing before work starts.
We agree a trial batch, fee, review points and next steps in the written scope. GST workings, finalisation files or recurring bookkeeping can be used to test the handover before a wider engagement.
