Financial close and reporting
A disciplined month-end close, so the numbers are final within days rather than weeks.
Virtual CFO Services · Mumbai · Est. 2015
Your CFO, without the full-time hire.
V R Singh & Associates LLP takes on the CFO role for growing companies on a monthly engagement. We close and review the books, report to promoters and the board, manage cash and working capital, and keep every statutory date, so management decides on numbers it can trust.

Scope of the Virtual CFO role
Everything a full-time CFO owns, run as a monthly engagement
Your accounts team keeps recording transactions. We sit above them: reviewing, reporting, planning and answering to promoters, investors, lenders and auditors.
MIS, budgeting and FP&A
Reports that tell management what changed, why, and what to do about it.
Cash flow and working capital
Cash visibility weeks ahead, and a plan for the gaps before they appear.
Tax and statutory compliance oversight
One owner for every due date, return and notice across the company.
Controls, systems and processes
A finance function that runs on documented process, not on one person's memory.
Board, lender and investor reporting
Consistent reporting that keeps stakeholders informed and confident.
Transaction and fund-raise readiness
Numbers that hold up when an investor, acquirer or lender looks closely.
Strategic finance support
A finance view on the decisions promoters take outside the monthly cycle.

What reaches you each month
The monthly MIS pack
Every engagement produces the same backbone: one pack, issued by the 10th, reviewed with promoters in a standing meeting. It is short enough to read in twenty minutes and specific enough to act on.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does a Virtual CFO do that our accountant does not?
Your accountant records transactions and files returns. A Virtual CFO reviews that work, turns it into reporting, plans the budget and cash, owns compliance across the company, and answers to promoters, the board, lenders and investors.
How is this different from hiring a full-time CFO?
You get CFO-level ownership of finance for the time the company actually needs, with a team behind the engagement. Many companies use a Virtual CFO until the finance function is large enough to justify a full-time hire, and we help recruit and hand over when that point comes.
Do you replace our accounts team?
No. We work with your team, set their close calendar and review their output. Where a company has no team, our accounting and outsourcing practice can handle bookkeeping under the Virtual CFO's review.
Can you also be our statutory auditor?
No. Where we act as Virtual CFO, we do not audit the same company, so that the auditor's independence is preserved. We coordinate closely with your auditors through the year.
How soon will we see the first MIS pack?
Usually within the first two to three months. The first month is a diagnostic; the second and third months stabilise the books and the close, and the first full pack follows.
