Financial statement preparation is the systematic process of compiling, organizing, and presenting a company’s financial data in standardized formats that comply with accounting standards and regulatory requirements. These statements provide crucial insights into business performance, financial health, and compliance status.
Core Financial Statements:
Balance Sheet: Snapshot of company’s financial position showing assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific date. Reveals what the company owns and owes.
Profit & Loss Statement (Income Statement): Summary of revenues, expenses, and profits over a period. Shows business profitability and operational efficiency.
Cash Flow Statement: Tracks cash movement in and out of business through operating, investing, and financing activities. Critical for understanding liquidity.
Notes to Accounts: Detailed explanations, accounting policies, and additional information supporting the main financial statements.
Why Financial Statements Matter:
Mandatory compliance for companies, LLPs, and firms under Companies Act, Income Tax Act, and GST regulations. Essential for bank loans and credit facilities, investor presentations and fundraising, business valuations and due diligence, tax return filing and audits, and strategic business decision-making.
Applicable Standards:
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) for specified companies, Accounting Standards (AS) issued by ICAI for other entities, and specific formats prescribed under Companies Act 2013 and Income Tax Act. Our team ensures your statements meet all applicable standards.
Who Needs This Service:
Private limited and public limited companies, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), partnership firms and proprietorships, startups preparing for funding rounds, businesses applying for loans, companies undergoing audits, and organizations filing annual returns with MCA or tax authorities.

Note: Well-organized books and timely document submission significantly reduce preparation time. We can also help organize and digitize your financial records.
Management accounts are internal reports for business decisions, prepared monthly/quarterly with flexible formats. Statutory statements follow prescribed accounting standards, are legally mandated, audited by external auditors, and filed with regulators. Both use same data but serve different purposes.
Annual statements are mandatory for all registered entities. Many businesses also prepare quarterly or monthly management accounts for internal monitoring. Public companies and certain private companies must prepare quarterly results. We recommend at least annual statutory statements plus quarterly internal reviews.
Simple proprietorships can manage basic statements. However, companies, LLPs, and businesses requiring audits need professional preparation ensuring compliance with complex accounting standards, proper classifications, and regulatory formats. Professional preparation prevents costly errors, rejections, and penalties during audits or filings.
Errors require revised financial statements filed with regulators. For companies, this involves board approval, revised annual returns, and additional fees. Significant errors may invite scrutiny from auditors, tax authorities, or ROC. Professional preparation minimizes such risks through thorough review processes.
Yes, businesses must attach financial statements to income tax returns. For companies and LLPs, audited statements are mandatory. Even unaudited businesses need balance sheets and P&L statements for ITR filing. Tax authorities use these to verify income, expenses, and tax computations.
Banks analyze financial statements to assess creditworthiness, repayment capacity, and business stability. They evaluate profitability trends, debt-equity ratios, cash flows, and asset backing. Well-prepared statements showing healthy financials significantly improve loan approval chances and may secure better interest rates and terms.
