Monthly cadence
What We Handle Every Month
Not a one-off filing when something becomes urgent — a repeating close cycle so books, tax workings, deadlines and open actions stay visible through the month.
Your books and tax desk run on one operating loop
We update the records, chase what is missing, prepare GST and TDS workings where they apply, and share filing status with acknowledgements — so you always know what is done, what is due, and what still needs your input.
Typical monthly close
1 Collect inputs
2 Update & reconcile
3 Tax workings
4 File & confirm
5 Open actions
-
01
Bookkeeping updates
Day-to-day entries kept current through the month — not rebuilt in a scramble at year-end.
-
02
Bank and ledger reconciliation
Bank, ledger and related balances matched so the close rests on numbers you can trust.
-
03
GST and TDS working where applicable
Period workings prepared and confirmed against the books before returns leave the desk.
-
04
Missing-document follow-ups
Clear chase list for invoices, challans and inputs still outstanding — so gaps do not stall the close.
-
05
Upcoming deadline alerts
Advance notice of GST, TDS and other statutory dates on your calendar — before they become urgent.
-
06
Filing status and acknowledgement sharing
What was filed, when, and under which acknowledgement — shared so you are not guessing after the fact.
-
07 Open-query and customer-action list
Items waiting on you, summarised in one place — so open queries and next actions do not sit unspoken.
Differentiator
Our Communication and Follow-up Commitment
Most accounting gaps are not skill gaps — they are silence. We run a clear communication loop so documents, status and deadlines reach you before they become a last-day scramble.
The promise
No waiting until the last filing date
Reminders, open actions and filing updates are pushed early in the cycle — so you are not discovering a blocker the night a return is due.
-
01
Named point of contact
One accountable person you can reach — not a rotating inbox where ownership disappears between replies.
-
02
Defined response timeline
Clear expectations on when queries and document checks come back — so follow-ups are planned, not hoped for.
-
03
Proactive document reminders
We chase missing invoices, challans and inputs before the close stalls — you should not have to remember what we still need.
-
04
Filing status updates
What is in progress, what is filed, and what acknowledgement you have — shared without you having to chase the desk.
-
05
Deadline alerts
GST, TDS and other statutory dates flagged ahead of time — so the calendar is visible, not buried in a WhatsApp thread.
-
06
Escalation contact
When something is blocked or urgent, there is a clear path beyond a single unavailable person — so work does not stall in silence.
How this feels in practice: you always know who owns the next step, what is waiting on you, and when the next filing window closes — without waiting until the last filing date to find out.
Continuity
An Organisation Behind Your Accounts
Targo Accounts is not dependent on one accountant. Books, review, customer follow-up and escalation sit with a team — so leave, illness or a busy week does not freeze your filings.
Not a lone practitioner
Your accounts stay with the organisation — not one person’s inbox
A single accountant can help until they are unavailable. Targo Accounts runs with named roles, review checkpoints and documented handover, so the monthly cycle continues even when one person steps away.
Expert team · Experienced leaders
Practitioners do the day-to-day work; experienced leaders oversee quality, exceptions and client outcomes — so complex calls are not left to guesswork on a WhatsApp thread.
- Team coverage
- Quality review
- Clear escalation
- Documented continuity
- Accounting team Bookkeeping, reconciliations and tax workings owned by a desk — with backup when someone is out.
- Reviewer or quality checker A second pair of eyes on workings and filings before they leave — so errors are caught inside the process.
- Customer-success contact A relationship owner who keeps document chases, status updates and open actions moving with you.
- Escalation owner A clear path when something is blocked or urgent — beyond a single unavailable practitioner.
- Documented handover and continuity Context, calendars and open items stay written down — so coverage changes do not mean starting from scratch.
Onboarding
Your First 30 Days With Targo Accounts
The first month is not “wait until the next return.” It is a structured handover — access, books, pending work and communication — so month two starts from a clean operating baseline.
- Days 1–10 Access, channels and prior books
- Days 11–20 Gaps, notices and opening balances
- Days 21–30 Calendar locked and cadence live
-
Days 1–7 Collection of portal and accounting access
GST, income-tax, TDS and accounting-software access collected and verified so the desk can work without chasing logins mid-cycle.
-
Days 3–12 Previous-books and filing review
Prior ledgers, returns and working papers reviewed to understand how the books were kept — and where the next close should pick up.
-
Days 8–16 Identification of pending returns and notices
Outstanding filings, notices and open queries listed with owners and dates — so nothing silent sits in an old email thread.
-
Days 12–22 Opening-balance verification
Opening balances checked against bank, ledgers and last filed positions so the Targo Accounts baseline is not built on guesswork.
-
Days 18–28 Compliance calendar preparation
GST, TDS and other applicable dates mapped into a shared calendar — so the first live month has a visible filing rhythm.
-
Days 1–10 Document-sharing and communication setup
Folders, named contacts and follow-up channels set early — so document chases and status updates have one place to live.
By day 30: access is live, pending work is visible, balances are verified, and the monthly communication loop is running — ready for the recurring Targo Accounts cadence.
India compliance
India-Specific Compliance Coverage
Coverage is scoped by what actually applies to your entity — registration status, employee headcount, turnover thresholds and company form — not a one-size list billed as “everything.”
How we read applicability: during onboarding we map which of these regimes you are in (or approaching). The monthly desk then runs only what is live for you — with clear notes when a filing is N/A for the period.
Where GST-registered
GST & digital trade
Returns and portal work tied to your GST profile and turnover thresholds.
-
Monthly or quarterly · QRMP where eligible GST returns GSTR cycle run on your applicable frequency — monthly, or quarterly under QRMP when that scheme applies.
-
When thresholds / movement rules apply E-invoicing and e-way bills Support for e-invoice and e-way bill processes where your turnover or goods movement brings them into scope.
Where tax deductors / assessees apply
Direct tax
Withholding, advance tax and annual return work aligned to your books.
-
When TDS is deductible TDS payments and quarterly statements Challan coordination and quarterly TDS statements prepared from the period’s books and deductee data.
-
Installment calendar · as applicable Advance-tax coordination Estimate and reminder support for advance-tax installments so payments are planned against the year’s position.
-
Annual · entity-specific Income-tax returns Return preparation and filing support from closed books — scoped to the form and disclosures that apply to you.
When you have employees / state PT
Employment statutes
Labour and local tax filings that follow headcount and state rules.
-
Where PF / ESI / PT registration applies PF, ESI and Professional Tax Statutory payroll-linked filings coordinated with your employment compliance calendar — not bolted on after salary runs.
Companies & notified reporters
Corporate & other reporting
Annual and event-based reporting beyond the tax portals.
-
For companies · annual / event-based ROC annual filings for companies Coordination support for company annual filings and related records where your entity is a company under the Act.
-
When MSME / other reporting applies MSME and other applicable reporting MSME and other notified reporting handled when your suppliers, buyers or registration status bring those obligations into play.
Scope clarity
Clear Scope and Customer Responsibilities
Before work starts, we write down what sits in the plan, what is billed separately, what only an authorised professional can sign, and what we need from you — so “everything included” is never an assumption.
In the engagement
What the plan covers
The recurring accounting and compliance desk you subscribe to — plus the cut-offs that keep the month on track.
-
What the plan includes
Bookkeeping updates, reconciliations, applicable GST/TDS workings, filing status sharing, deadline alerts and the communication loop agreed for your entity.
-
Submission cut-off dates
Document and confirmation cut-offs are set against each filing window so workings can be prepared, reviewed and filed without a last-day scramble.
Outside the plan fee
Separately charged & statutory
Items that are not absorbed into the monthly professional fee — or that require a different authorised signatory.
-
What is separately charged
Out-of-scope advisory, catch-up for prior periods, additional entities, or one-off projects agreed in writing — billed separately from the retainership.
-
Government fees and penalties
Portal fees, challans, late fees and penalties remain the customer’s statutory payments — professional fees never substitute for amounts due to the government.
-
Services requiring a CA, CS, auditor or other authorised professional
Certifications, audits, attestations and filings that law reserves for a CA, CS, auditor or other authorised professional are scoped and engaged accordingly — not implied inside a general accounts plan.
Your side of the desk
Customer responsibilities
What we need from you to keep filings accurate — and what changes when inputs arrive after the cut-off.
-
Documents the customer must provide
Bank statements, invoices, payroll inputs, portal OTPs/access, and any notice or query papers — on the shared channel and before the cut-off for that filing.
-
What happens when information arrives late
Work moves to the next safe window where possible; rush filings may be limited by portal deadlines. Late inputs can mean deferred filings, incomplete workings, or penalties that remain the customer’s responsibility.
Written before we start: your engagement note lists included workstreams, exclusions, cut-offs and any authorised-professional items — so scope questions are answered on paper, not in a last-week WhatsApp argument.
Problems · Recovery
Running Without Proper Accounts — And How We Help You Recover
Many companies operate for months without an accountant or CA, or with books that only get touched when a return is due. The pattern is familiar — until notices, mismatched GST, or a painful year-end force a cleanup.
-
01
Books updated only at filing time
Entries pile up until a return is due, so reconciliations are rushed and errors slip into the portal.
-
02
GST and books don’t match
Portal figures and ledgers diverge — creating ITC mismatches, revisions and buyer friction.
-
03
TDS lived in spreadsheets
Workings sit outside the books until quarter-end — when interest and late filings show up.
-
04
No MIS — only bank-balance guessing
Founders decide on hiring and pricing without a structured monthly view of profit, dues and runway.
-
05
One person held everything
When a bookkeeper or part-time CA goes silent, access, history and deadlines leave with them.
-
06
Year-end treated as a surprise
Financials, Form 16, SFT and audit prep start too late — stretching into the next busy season.
What compounds when books drift
Weak accounts do not stay a back-office issue
Without an accountant or without managing accounts well, problems show up as missed filings, unclear cash, stalled funding conversations and expensive cleanup later.
-
Interest, fees and notice risk Late or incorrect GST, TDS and income-tax work attracts interest, late fees and departmental follow-ups.
-
Blurry cash and margins You cannot trust profit, dues or runway — which makes hiring, pricing and banking harder.
-
Painful audits and year-end Missing vouchers and unreconciled balances turn financials and auditor queries into a scramble.
-
Founder time drain You chase vendors, banks and portals instead of sales, product and people.
Accounts recovery
Already behind? We map the catch-up
If books are late, returns are pending, notices have arrived, or previous support went quiet, a recovery consult sequences the cleanup — then locks a monthly cadence so the same gaps do not reopen.
-
Diagnose the backlog Books, GST, TDS, notices and access gaps listed with owners and dates.
-
Clear unposted work & recon Invoices, bank gaps and vendor / payroll mismatches brought current.
-
Prioritise pending filings Overdue returns and interest exposure sequenced before the next deadline.
-
Stabilise the monthly rhythm After catch-up, move onto a retainership calendar with communication and cut-offs.
