Financial Control

Financial control across
operating contexts.

Financial control for businesses already operating — and for those entering India from outside. Different entry points. The same discipline.

For Businesses Already Operating

For businesses where the financial function is no longer keeping pace with the decisions being made.

For Businesses Entering India

For businesses establishing an India presence and requiring structure, alignment, and continuity from the outset.

For Businesses Already Operating

The financial function needs to work harder than it currently does.

Most businesses reach this point. The numbers exist. Reports are produced. But the diagnosis, the structure, the honest forward view — these are absent.

The work begins where the problem actually is — in how cash moves, how costs behave, and how the structure responds under pressure. Problems that appear on the surface rarely start there.

From diagnosis, the work moves into structure — and then execution. Most businesses in this position have had enough advice. What is needed is someone who will stay in the room while the work is done.

When a capital requirement emerges, the connection to SKR's funding network exists within the same relationship.

01
Financial Diagnostics

Where the business actually stands — cashflow, margins, cost structure, and debt position assessed honestly.

02
Cashflow & Restructuring

Misalignment in working capital, collection cycles, and financing costs — addressed structurally, not symptomatically.

03
Governance & Reporting

Financial controls and reporting built to meet investor and lender standards — not just to satisfy compliance.

04
Investor Readiness

Financial documentation, valuation, and presentation structured to meet institutional requirements.

The CFO engagement and capital structuring sit within the same relationship at SKR.

For Businesses Entering India

India is not a market you enter once and figure out later.

Entity structure, compliance framework, tax architecture, and banking — these determine the commercial viability of the India presence. Getting them right at entry is significantly easier than correcting them later.

Coordination sits across legal, accounting, and regulatory functions — through a single financial point of responsibility rather than multiple advisors across multiple disciplines.

Once the entity is operational, the financial function is built for continuity — accounting, statutory compliance, MIS reporting to the parent, and tax management across Indian authorities. This is a natural continuation of the entry engagement, not a separate service.

1
Entity & Structure
The right vehicle for the business model, tax objectives, and regulatory context.
2
Compliance & Regulatory
FDI, FEMA, RBI, and Companies Act obligations — coordinated, not just filed.
3
Financial & Banking Architecture
Accounting systems, tax structure, banking, and inbound capital flows — positioned from day one.
4
Ongoing Financial Management
Fractional CFO, statutory compliance, and MIS reporting — continuing after entry.
Detailed Scope

What each engagement covers — in full.

The right vehicle — subsidiary, branch office, liaison office, or joint venture — is determined by the business model, tax objectives, and regulatory requirements. The choice made at entry shapes what the business can and cannot do in India for years afterward.

Foreign investment into India sits across multiple regulatory authorities. Coordination across FDI policy, FEMA, RBI reporting, and Companies Act obligations requires someone who understands how these interact — not just how to file within each.

Accounting systems, GST registration, transfer pricing documentation, and repatriation structures are positioned from the outset — aligned with the commercial model of the India entity, not retrofitted to it.

Banking relationships and inbound capital flows are structured correctly from day one. Where the India business requires external capital, the connection to SKR's funding network is part of the same relationship.

Access to credible Indian counterparties where alignment exists — approached selectively. Introductions are made on the basis of commercial and reputational fit, not transactionally.

Accounting, statutory compliance, MIS reporting to the parent entity, and tax management across Indian authorities — on a continuing retainer basis. This is the financial function the India entity needs to operate, not a separate engagement.

For NRIs and Foreign Investors

Structured India exposure for individuals deploying capital.

For NRIs, HNIs, and foreign individuals — entity structuring for Indian investments, regulatory compliance for inbound capital, and introductions to investment opportunities where credibility and commercial alignment exist.

Engagements are selective and relationship-driven.

Alignment precedes introduction.

Different entry points.
Same discipline.

Whether the starting point is a cashflow problem in an operating business or a decision to enter India — the engagement is built around continuity.

Engagements are structured on a retainer or project basis, depending on the situation.
