Trading & distribution
Inventory valuation, credit control, margin analysis by line, VAT on imports and the perennial problem of stock that exists on paper but not in the godown.
Services
Everything a growing business needs from a CA firm — and the thinking on top.
Audit, tax, accounting and advisory under one roof, so the person signing your audit report is the same person who understands your working capital problem.
SERVICE 01
Audit & Assurance
Assurance your board, your bank and the regulator can rely on.
An audit should do two things: satisfy the statutory requirement, and tell the people running the business something they did not already know. Too often only the first happens.
We plan every audit around where the real risk sits in your business — inventory in a trading house, work-in-progress in manufacturing, revenue cut-off in services — rather than working through a generic checklist. You get a clean opinion where one is warranted, and a management letter that is genuinely worth reading.
Typically for
Discuss audit
- Companies requiring a statutory audit
- Businesses whose bank or investor wants assurance
- NGOs and projects with donor reporting obligations
- Boards that want an independent read on controls
What this covers
Audit of financial statements under the Companies Act 2063 and applicable Nepali standards, for private and public companies.
Ongoing or periodic review of controls, authorisations, cash handling, procurement and inventory — with practical remediation, not just findings.
Compliance review, gap assessment and first-time adoption support for entities moving onto Nepal Financial Reporting Standards.
Project audits, grant utilisation certificates and reporting formats required by donors, INGOs and government bodies.
Physical verification, tagging, reconciliation to the register and identification of unrecorded or written-off assets.
Financial due diligence for acquisitions, investments and partner exits.
SERVICE 02
Taxation & Compliance
Filed on time, planned in advance, defended when necessary.
Nepali tax is not especially complicated. It is unforgiving about timing. Most of the money businesses lose to tax here goes on interest, fees and penalties that were entirely avoidable — not on the tax itself.
We take the whole cycle: registration, monthly and periodic filings, deposits, reconciliation, annual return and, where it comes to it, representation. And we do the planning before the year closes, when it can still change the outcome, rather than after.
Typically for
Discuss taxation
- Any VAT- or PAN-registered business
- Companies facing an IRD notice or assessment
- Owners paying more tax than the structure requires
- Businesses with a filing backlog to clear
What this covers
Preparation and filing of annual income tax returns for companies, firms and individuals, with computation and supporting schedules.
VAT registration, monthly or four-monthly returns, purchase and sales book reconciliation, credit management and refund claims.
Correct deduction at source on salary, rent, contract and professional payments; timely deposit; and periodic e-TDS return filing.
Estimation and payment of the Poush, Chaitra and Ashad instalments so you avoid interest under the Income Tax Act.
Structuring of remuneration, capital expenditure, depreciation claims and group arrangements to keep the burden legitimately low.
Response to IRD notices, representation at assessment, administrative review and appeal support.
SERVICE 03
Accounting, Payroll & Virtual CFO
A finance function, without hiring a finance department.
Below a certain size, a full-time accountant is expensive and a part-time one is unreliable. That gap is where most growing Nepali businesses lose visibility — the books fall behind, the owner runs the company on bank balance and instinct, and nobody notices the margin slipping until the year-end accounts land.
We close your books monthly, run your payroll and compliance, and give you a short management pack that answers the questions an owner actually asks. For clients who need more, our virtual CFO retainer puts a Chartered Accountant in your management meetings without the cost of a full-time hire.
Typically for
Discuss accounting, payroll
- Businesses whose books are chronically behind
- Owners running on bank balance rather than numbers
- Companies too small for a full-time finance head
- Anyone preparing for investment or a bank facility
What this covers
Day-to-day recording, bank and party reconciliation, and a disciplined monthly close on a fixed timetable.
Salary computation, TDS on salary, SSF and provident fund compliance, payslips and statutory registers.
A monthly pack covering profitability, receivables, payables, inventory and cash — in a format you can read in ten minutes.
Annual budgets, rolling cash-flow forecasts and variance analysis against actuals.
Chart of accounts design, software selection and setup, opening balance migration and staff training.
Regular CA-level involvement in pricing, working capital, financing and expansion decisions.
SERVICE 04
Business Advisory & Registration
Set up correctly, financed properly, and reviewed honestly.
The decisions that shape a business are made early and rarely revisited: what entity to register, how to split shareholding, what to tell the bank, when to expand. Getting them wrong is expensive and slow to unwind.
We handle the registration and licensing mechanics competently — but the value is in the conversation before it. The right structure, an honest project report, a valuation you can defend, and a clear view of whether the expansion you are planning is actually affordable.
Typically for
Discuss business advisory
- Founders registering a new venture
- Businesses applying for bank finance
- Partners negotiating entry, exit or valuation
- Owners who suspect the business is less profitable than it looks
What this covers
Private limited company, partnership, sole proprietorship and NGO registration through OCR and the relevant authorities, including PAN/VAT and local registrations.
Bank-ready project reports and business plans with defensible projections — the kind a credit officer accepts without three rounds of queries.
Valuation for share transfer, investment, partner exit, dispute resolution and internal planning.
Conversion, merger, share transfer, capital restructuring and orderly winding-up or deregistration.
Product- and branch-level costing, contribution analysis and pricing review to find where margin is actually leaking.
Annual returns to OCR, statutory registers, board and general meeting documentation.
Sectors
Where we have done the most work
Sector knowledge matters more than most firms admit. Knowing how a trading business really carries inventory, or how a contractor recognises revenue, is what separates a useful audit from a tidy one.
Manufacturing
Costing and overhead absorption, work-in-progress, excise and customs interaction, capital expenditure planning and depreciation strategy.
Services & professional firms
Revenue recognition and cut-off, staff cost structures, TDS on professional payments, and pricing work that is billed by time rather than by unit.
NGOs, INGOs & projects
Donor reporting formats, grant utilisation, restricted-fund accounting and the audit certificates funders require.
Hospitality & education
Cash-intensive operations, occupancy and fee-cycle seasonality, service charge treatment and control design where cash handling is distributed.
Startups & new ventures
Entity choice, founder shareholding, first-year compliance, investor-ready reporting and keeping the burn honest before the money runs out.

Not sure which of these you need?
That is a normal place to start. Describe the situation and we will tell you what it actually calls for — including if that is less than you thought.
