What changes when the numbers are right

Seven recent engagements across D2C, food and beverage, pharma, hospitality and technology. Client names are withheld for confidentiality; every detail is from live work.

D2C brand

45 to 7 days
monthly close

From a 45-day close to a weekly view of profit and cash

The situation

A fast-growing D2C brand. Revenue was rising, but growth was hiding poor unit economics, and the books took about 45 days to close each month.

What we did

  • Reconciled payment gateways and marketplaces to the books
  • Built CAC, LTV and channel margin dashboards
  • Set up a monthly close with reconciliations and review
The monthly close now takes 7 days, and the founders see profit and cash every week.

What we did

  • Built consolidated and outlet-wise profit and loss
  • Added SKU and channel margins
  • Introduced a cash forecast and receivables and payables controls
The business became profitable within 12 months.

4 to 6%
margin recovered

Growing revenue, falling margins: finding where the money went

The situation

A pharma manufacturer whose revenue was growing while margins kept falling, with no view of profitability by product.

What we did

  • Renegotiated distributor margins
  • Set cost-centre budgets with monthly variance tracking

Hospitality group

2-month lag
eliminated

One chart of accounts across every property

The situation

A hospitality group with accounts fragmented across properties, so the board saw numbers two months late.

What we did

  • Designed a unified chart of accounts across properties
  • Built a monthly consolidated MIS
The two-month reporting lag is gone. The board now gets investor-ready numbers every month.

Enterprise SaaS, India and GCC

~$2M ARR
two markets

Finance that keeps pace with two markets

The situation

A B2B SaaS company selling to enterprises in India and the Gulf had outgrown founder-run finance. Billing, collections and compliance ran across two markets.

What we did

  • A fixed-scope first phase to put the finance foundation in place
  • A monthly retainer in which our team runs it alongside the founders
One finance partner across both markets, with the founders out of day-to-day finance.

AI and analytics, US, India and Singapore

3 entities
one consolidated view

One consolidated view, every month and every week

The situation

Three entities, three currencies and a US parent. Leadership needed a consolidated P&L it could trust, and a weekly read on cash to fund a large monthly payroll.

What we did

  • Consolidated monthly MIS with P&L and balance sheet review, exception checks and a management dashboard
  • A weekly cash flow with a bank-balance bridge and client-by-client revenue changes
  • The FY26 transfer pricing working for the India and US split
A consolidated monthly pack and a weekly cash discussion that leadership runs on.

Technology company, pre-institutional funding

Close by the 7th
committed

Investor-ready before the raise, not during it

The situation

A Bengaluru technology company with a services business funding a product programme, and institutional funding on the horizon. ESOPs, statutory audit and weekly cash all needed an owner.

What we did

  • Books, tax and MIS end to end
  • Statutory audit coordinated with our associate CA firm
  • Secretarial compliance including ESOP administration
  • A weekly cash forecast with a Monday review with the founders
Monthly close committed by the 7th and MIS by the 10th, with the books ready for diligence.
