run properly, on time, every time.

bookkeeping, payroll, GST, TDS, ROC and FEMA filings — under the supervision of qualified professionals, in whatever accounting
system you already use.

See how we work

Compliance in India is not hard. Keeping up with it is.

A mid-sized Indian company files something almost every week. Monthly GST returns and e-invoices. Quarterly TDS statements. Monthly PF, ESI and professional tax.

Annual ROC filings, income tax returns, transfer pricing documentation. Foreign-owned companies add FC-GPR, annual FLA returns and FEMA reporting on top. Each one has

its own deadline, its own portal, its own penalty for being late.

Most finance teams can do all of it. What they can’t do is all of it and close the month, and answer the board, and support the business — with the same three people.

That is the gap Citus fills.

Two kinds of client. Two ways of working.

Description for this block.

If you run a business

You want your compliance to be somebody else’s problem, with no surprises and one person to call. We take ownership of the calendar, work inside your accounting system, and tell you about a problem before the due date rather than after it.

If you run an accounting firm

You want capacity without the cost and risk of hiring. We build you a dedicated offshore team — qualified, trained on your processes, working to your review standards, under your brand and your client relationship.

Why clients move their compliance to us

Reviewed by professionals, not just processed.

Every deliverable passes through a qualified reviewer — a Chartered Accountant or Company Secretary — before it reaches you or a government portal. You are not buying data entry.

We don’t audit. That’s the point.

Citus performs no statutory audit, attestation or certification work. So we can keep your books and run your compliance without creating an independence problem for your auditor – and you never have to switch accounting providers because you switched auditors.

The whole of Indian compliance, not the easy half.

Books and payroll are the commodity. The value is in the rest: FEMA reporting on a fresh round of funding, a lower-deduction certificate that unlocks working capital, a transfer pricing file that stands up, FCRA returns that don’t put a licence at risk. We do all of it.

We work in your system.

Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP Business One, Dynamics 365 Business Central. We adapt to your chart of accounts and your close calendar, not the other way round.

Deadlines are owned, not shared.

Every engagement gets a named delivery lead, a written compliance calendar with dates and owners, and an escalation path that triggers before a deadline, not after it.

Depth behind the desk.

Routine work is done by a trained team. When routine work turns into a notice, an assessment or a structuring question, there are specialists in the group who have seen it before.

Tell us what’s late.

Most conversations start with one thing that’s overdue — a GST reconciliation, an FLA return nobody filed, a payroll that’s grown past the spreadsheet. Start there. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need us.
