Bookkeeping services record every sale, purchase, expense and bank entry in your accounting software and reconcile them each month so the P&L and Balance Sheet can be relied on. CorporateWalla's CA-led team does this for small businesses, startups and SMEs across India from ₹2,999/month, with books delivered by a fixed date every month. CA-led accounting and bookkeeping support for businesses that need accurate, reconciled books throughout the year. CorporateWalla can handle the agreed accounting function using the software your business already relies on, including transaction recording, reconciliations, financial reporting, GST/TDS-related accounting support, MIS and year-end support.
Starting price: ₹2,999/month. Professional fee; GST and government/statutory charges, where applicable, are separate. Final pricing depends on the agreed scope.
Bookkeeping is the systematic recording and organisation of business transactions. Accounting goes further: it includes classification, reconciliation, review and reporting so that management can understand the financial position and performance of the business.
Outsourced accounting combines these activities into an agreed operating function. The exact responsibilities should be defined before onboarding because transaction volume, entities, GST registrations, inventory, software and reporting requirements materially change the work involved.

Package contents as published on this page; volumes and exact scope are fixed in the engagement letter. GST and TDS return filing are separate services unless included.
A typical month for a monthly GST filer, so books are ready before the GST due dates rather than after them:
| By | You | We |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Share sales and purchase invoices, bank statements and expense bills for last month | Acknowledge and list anything missing |
| 8th | Answer queries on unidentified bank entries | Record transactions; reconcile bank and cash |
| 10th | Approve the sales register | Share GST sales data ready for GSTR-1 (due 11th) |
| 15th | — | Reconcile purchases with GSTR-2B; share working for GSTR-3B (due 20th) |
| 20th | Review the reports | Deliver Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet and exceptions list (MIS in Standard and Pro) |
Quarterly (QRMP) GST filers follow a quarterly cycle for returns, with the same monthly bookkeeping close. Dates shift where documents arrive late.
A practical monthly close can include transaction completeness checks, bank and ledger reconciliation, review of receivables and payables, tax-related accounting checks, inventory-related review where applicable, agreed adjustments and preparation of management reports.
The close checklist is customised to the business rather than presented as a universal fixed procedure.
| Software | Usually suits | How we work in it |
|---|---|---|
| Tally Prime | Trading and inventory-heavy businesses, firms already on Tally | Remote access or shared data, as agreed with you |
| Zoho Books | Service businesses, startups and teams wanting cloud access | Accountant user added to your organisation |
| QuickBooks | Businesses with overseas parents or international reporting | Accountant user, subject to the QuickBooks edition |
Companies that keep books in software must use one with an audit trail (edit log) that cannot be disabled, under Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, so we check this setting at onboarding.
Other accounting environments may be supported after scope and technical compatibility are assessed.
Where a business is moving from Tally to Zoho Books, a separate migration engagement can be used to plan, transfer and verify the required data before recurring accounting begins.
Monthly Bookkeeping is the more focused recurring service for keeping books updated and reconciled every month. CorporateWalla's current Monthly Bookkeeping plans start at ₹2,199/month.
Accounting & Bookkeeping is the broader outsourced accounting service. It can include bookkeeping plus wider accounting responsibilities, reporting, more complex reconciliations, multi-entity or multi-GSTIN requirements, inventory/e-commerce accounting and additional finance support.
Accounting & Bookkeeping describes the accounting function being delivered.
Virtual Accountant is positioned around outsourced accountant/resource support and can be a better fit when the client wants a more dedicated ongoing accounting resource and broader operational support.
Outsourcing can be useful when a business needs recurring accounting work without building the entire finance function internally. An internal accountant can remain the primary operator while an outsourced team handles overflow, reconciliation, review or reporting.
The right structure depends on transaction volume, control requirements, software, reporting needs, internal capacity and budget. Outsourcing is not universally cheaper or better.
