US · UK · Ireland · Europe · India
Bookkeeping, month-end close, tax returns and compliance for businesses and families, run from India by a US CPA and Chartered Accountant with 20 years across 100+ entities. With or without an India link.
India is 3½ to 4½ hours ahead of Central Europe and 9½ to 10½ hours ahead of New York. European clients get same-day overlap; US clients send work at close of business and find it done the next morning.

AI for accountants
A practical programme for firms and finance teams. AI drafts and matches; a qualified person reviews and signs off.
Stage 1
Where AI helps in accounting and tax, where it fails, and hands-on practice on your own kind of work.
Stage 2
We run one close with your team using AI for reconciliations, variance commentary and reporting drafts.
Stage 3
Written procedures, review checkpoints and rules for client data, so the gains last.
Our rule: no client data goes into a tool without the client's consent, and nothing AI produces reaches a client or a tax authority without a qualified review.
