Running a growing business in India is a full-time job — but so is running its compliance stack. GST, TDS, PF, ESI, professional tax, ROC filings, board resolutions, statutory registers, payroll, bookkeeping, MIS, budgeting and cash-flow management can eat into founder and finance-team time in ways that add zero customer value. That is where an outsourced Business Support Services partner becomes indispensable.
The Exim Roof runs a full-stack back-office practice — Virtual CFO, bookkeeping, payroll processing, ROC and secretarial compliance, tax filings and management-reporting — for growing MSMEs, D2C brands, SaaS platforms, professional services firms and non-profits. Our clients get a dedicated finance manager, monthly closing done by day seven, and a fixed-price commercial that leaves the CFO free to focus on strategy and fundraising.
Virtual CFO — strategic finance without the salary
A Virtual CFO gives you strategic finance leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Our Virtual CFOs — all chartered accountants with 10+ years of industry experience — take ownership of budgeting, monthly reporting, cash-flow forecasting, banker and investor coordination, cap-table management, unit economics, pricing and audit management. We plug in for board-meeting preparation and fund-raise diligence, and step back when your in-house team is ready.
Bookkeeping and monthly closing
Accurate books are the foundation of every downstream compliance and reporting activity. Our team runs bookkeeping on Zoho Books, Tally Prime and QuickBooks — reconciling every bank, credit-card, wallet, GST and PoS account monthly. Standard operating procedures ensure closing by day seven with a defined checklist covering GST reconciliation with GSTR-2B, TDS reconciliation with Form 26AS, revenue recognition against ARR / MRR, and expense classification against the chart of accounts.
Payroll processing and statutory dues
Payroll may sound routine but each cycle brings a mix of variable pay, statutory changes, tax declarations, deductions and reimbursements. We run the full pay cycle — inputs collection, salary computation, professional tax, TDS on salaries, PF, ESI and LWF, generation of payslips and Form 16, and disbursement co-ordination with your bank. All statutory challans are filed within the statutory timeline — every single month, without exception.
ROC and secretarial compliance
The Companies Act 2013 compliance calendar has 20+ mandatory items each year, from Form ADT-1 for auditor appointment to Form MGT-7 for annual return and Form AOC-4 for financial-statement filing. Missed deadlines attract additional fees and, in serious cases, disqualification of directors. Our company-secretaries run the full calendar — board meetings, minutes, statutory registers, DPT-3, MSME-1, BEN-2, DIR-3 KYC and every notified event-based filing.
Management-information reporting
Beyond bookkeeping and compliance, we build monthly management dashboards that show revenue, gross margin, cash burn, runway, unit economics, customer cohorts and department-wise budget vs actual. These dashboards feed board packs, investor updates and internal reviews and are refreshed automatically as the underlying data is closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the entire process take?
Most approvals are granted in 30–90 days once documentation is in order. Timelines vary by department, product category and testing requirements — we share a milestone-based plan on day one.
- Do you handle end-to-end filing?
Yes. Our team drafts the application, uploads it on the government portal, pays the fee (against invoice), coordinates with labs / auditors and follows up till the certificate is granted.
- Will you help with renewals and post-approval compliance?
Absolutely. We share a compliance calendar with due dates for renewals, annual returns and periodic filings. You will never miss a deadline.
- How is a Virtual CFO different from a chartered accountant?
A CA typically focuses on statutory tax and audit filings. A Virtual CFO owns strategic finance — cash flow, MIS, budgeting, fundraising, banker relations and unit economics. Our Virtual CFOs are CAs with 10+ years of industry finance experience, not compliance-only accountants.
- Which accounting platform is best?
For most Indian MSMEs Zoho Books offers the best GST-native workflow, integrations and reporting. Tally Prime is preferred in trading and manufacturing where inventory is central. QuickBooks Online is popular with US-facing companies. We help you pick and migrate.
- How quickly can you take over books?
A standard onboarding takes 2–3 weeks — one week for data collection, one week for opening-balance reconciliation and one week for the first live monthly close. Larger or messier books may take longer.
