Finance & Compliance

Accounting and Bookkeeping Services in India

Reliable, tech-enabled outsourced accounting for startups, SMEs and growing businesses anywhere in India — clean books, GST-ready records, payroll and monthly MIS, without the cost of a full in-house finance team.

Who needs outsourced accounting and bookkeeping?

For most founders and business owners, the accounts are the last thing they want to spend a Sunday on — and the first thing that trips them up at GST filing, at year-end, or when an investor or bank asks for numbers. Aidwish provides outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services in India that take this entire function off your plate. From a startup filing its first returns to an established SME handling hundreds of monthly invoices, we maintain accurate, up-to-date books so you always know where the money is, stay compliant, and can make decisions on real figures rather than guesswork.

We work as your remote finance back office. Your transactions are recorded in the accounting software you already use — Tally, Zoho Books or QuickBooks — with proper ledgers, cost heads and bank reconciliations. Every month you receive a clean set of books, a GST-ready summary, payroll processed on time and a simple management report that tells you how the business is actually doing. Because we operate pan-India and fully online, it makes no difference whether you are in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, a tier-2 town or working with a distributed team.

The result is finance you can trust without the overhead of hiring, training and retaining an in-house team. You get a qualified, supervised process at a predictable monthly fee, with data security and clear communication built in — so your energy stays on running and growing the business.

Early-stage startups that need clean, investor-ready books from day one but cannot justify a full-time accountant

SMEs and family businesses where the owner or a junior clerk is currently handling accounts on the side and errors are creeping in

Growing companies whose transaction volume has outpaced a single in-house person and who need reliable monthly closing

E-commerce sellers and D2C brands managing multi-marketplace settlements, returns and reconciliations

Professional practices, agencies and consultancies that bill clients and need tidy receivables and expense tracking

Businesses facing GST, TDS or statutory-audit deadlines with books that are behind and need to be brought current

Foreign-owned or multi-city operations that want a single, consistent accounting partner across India

Fees & what you pay

No hidden charges. Government fees are billed at actuals; our professional fee is agreed upfront.

ItemDetails
Government / statutory feesThere is no government fee for bookkeeping itself. Statutory costs are the actual taxes and dues you pay — GST liability, TDS, PF, ESI, professional tax and any late fees or interest. These are paid by you to the authorities; Aidwish only computes and prepares them, we do not add margin on them.
Micro / startup planApprox. Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 6,000 per month for low volumes (roughly up to 50 transactions a month) — ideal for early-stage startups and small proprietorships. Indicative; confirmed after reviewing your books.
SME / growth planApprox. Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 18,000 per month for moderate volumes (around 50–300 transactions) including reconciliations, GST-ready books and monthly MIS.
High-volume / multi-entity planApprox. Rs. 20,000 and above per month for high transaction counts, multiple locations or GSTINs, and detailed reporting — scoped and quoted after assessment.
Payroll add-onApprox. Rs. 100 to Rs. 250 per employee per month for salary computation, statutory working and payslips, depending on headcount and complexity.
Catch-up / backlog & one-time workBringing overdue books current or year-end finalisation is quoted separately based on the number of pending months and transaction volume — a fixed one-time fee agreed before we start.
Timeline

How long it takes

2–5 working days
Onboarding & setup

Understanding your business, granting software access or setting up Tally/Zoho/QuickBooks, migrating opening balances and agreeing the monthly scope and reporting format.

Within the first cycle
First month's bookkeeping

Recording transactions, cleaning up any legacy entries and establishing reconciliations, so the first proper monthly close is delivered on schedule.

Monthly, recurring
Ongoing monthly cycle

Daily/weekly entries through the month, reconciliations, payroll, GST and TDS working, and delivery of the monthly MIS shortly after month-end.

1–4 weeks (volume-based)
Backlog catch-up (if needed)

Where books are behind, we bring them current in a focused sprint; timeline depends on the number of pending months and transactions.

As per statutory calendar

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is the difference between accounting and bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of transactions — sales, purchases, receipts and payments — into properly classified ledgers. Accounting builds on that to reconcile, adjust, finalise and interpret the numbers into reports like the P&L and balance sheet. Our service covers both, so you get accurate records and useful reporting from a single team.

How much do outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services in India cost?

Fees are typically charged as a monthly retainer based on your transaction volume. Small startups often fall in the Rs. 3,000–6,000 range, growing SMEs around Rs. 7,000–18,000, and high-volume or multi-entity businesses Rs. 20,000 and above. Payroll and one-time backlog work are quoted separately, and the exact figure is confirmed after we review your books.

Why should I outsource accounting instead of hiring an in-house accountant?

Outsourcing gives you a supervised, review-based process at a predictable monthly cost, without the expense and effort of recruiting, training and retaining staff. You avoid single-person dependency and gaps during leave or resignation. For most startups and SMEs it delivers more reliable books at a lower total cost than a full-time hire.

Which accounting software do you work on?

We work on Tally, Zoho Books and QuickBooks — the platforms most Indian businesses use. If you already use one, we continue on it; if not, we help you choose and set it up cleanly. This keeps your data portable and accessible to you at all times.

How do you keep my financial data secure and confidential?

We use controlled, need-based access to your accounts, maintain confidentiality as standard practice and handle your financial information carefully. Your data stays in your own software environment wherever possible, and access is limited to the team members working on your books.

Can you bring my overdue or backlogged books up to date?

Yes. Backlog clean-up is a common request, especially before GST, TDS or audit deadlines. We assess how many months and how many transactions are pending, quote a one-time fixed fee, and bring the books current in a focused sprint before moving you onto the regular monthly cycle.
