Two halves of one job
The entity and the position, together
Most problems we are asked to fix came from these two being handled by different people who never spoke.
Business advisory
Building and running the entity — in India, in Australia and across the corridor in between.
- Entity choice and shareholding designed around funding, liability and any visa route
- Incorporation, registrations and bank account opening end to end
- Bookkeeping, payroll, GST/BAS and management reporting run as your local finance function
- Statutory audit coordination, ROC/ASIC filings and the annual compliance calendar
- Nominee and resident-director requirements satisfied lawfully and documented
Cross-border advisory
Who is resident where, which country may tax what, and how money and profits travel legitimately.
- Residency determination and treaty tie-breaker positions for people and entities
- FEMA, ODI and LRS routes chosen before capital moves, with the filings that follow
- Withholding tax, Form 15CA/CB and repatriation of dividends, profits and capital
- Transfer pricing policy, benchmarking and Form 3CEB for related-party dealings
- Permanent establishment and place-of-effective-management risk reviewed early
When clients call us
Situations we are usually brought into
Some clients come before the first decision is made. Others come once something has already been filed the wrong way. Both are workable — the earlier one is simply cheaper.
- An Indian company opening its first overseas subsidiary
- A foreign group setting up an Indian entity and needing a local finance function
- A founder relocating while the business stays behind
- Intra-group services, royalties or management fees that have never been documented
- Profits sitting offshore with no agreed repatriation route
- A past FEMA, ODI or transfer-pricing gap that needs remediating quietly
