The scope.
Everything your India GCC or shared-service entity needs to be compliant, governed and financially visible — from incorporation to ongoing finance operations.
Entity Incorporation in India
Selection and incorporation of the right legal vehicle — private limited company, LLP, branch office or liaison office — based on the GCC's mandate, ownership and regulatory requirements.
FEMA / RBI Compliance
FDI approvals, reporting under Foreign Exchange Management Act, ECB structuring, ODI filings and annual RBI compliance — handled end to end.
Transfer Pricing for Intercompany Services
Policy design, documentation and benchmarking for intercompany service agreements between the India GCC and the parent — arm's-length pricing that withstands scrutiny.
Employment & Statutory Compliance
Payroll setup, provident fund, ESI, professional tax and gratuity compliance. Employment contract structuring aligned to Indian labour law.
GCC Finance Function Setup
Chart of accounts, accounting software selection, month-end close processes, MIS design and reporting framework — built for a globally-owned India entity.
Virtual CFO for the GCC Entity
Ongoing finance leadership for the India entity — monthly accounts, board reporting, statutory compliance and partner-led financial oversight.
Corporate Governance & Board Framework
Director appointments, board and committee governance, statutory registers and annual compliance for the India subsidiary.
Cost Benchmarking & Arm's Length Pricing
Management fee, cost-plus and other intercompany pricing structures designed to be defensible under Indian and international transfer pricing standards.

- Intercompany service agreement and transfer pricing policy document
