Understanding Bookkeeping for Startups
Why Startups Need Investor-Grade Bookkeeping
A startup's books aren't just for tax compliance — they're for investors. The day after a term sheet is signed, your investor's analyst asks for monthly P&L for the last 24 months, MoM revenue with cohort breakdown, gross margin, burn rate, runway in months, cap-table movements, and ESOP pool accounting. If your books are messy, the diligence drags for weeks; if they're clean, the next tranche releases on time. The same applies to debt rounds, venture debt, R&D credit applications, and Section 80-IAC tax holiday claims for DPIIT-recognised startups.
Bizeract's startup bookkeeping is built around the metrics investors actually look at. We close books monthly within 7 days of month-end, prepare an investor-format MIS pack (revenue waterfall, gross margin, burn, runway, key business KPIs you supply), and track ESOP grants vs vested vs exercised in a way that flows correctly into your share-capital reconciliation. Burn rate is computed both on a cash basis (operating + financing outflows) and on an accrual basis (operating loss). Runway is updated against the latest bank balance every month.
On the compliance side, Pvt Ltd startups have a heavier load than other small businesses — monthly GST, quarterly TDS, MCA annual filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), DIR-3 KYC, board meeting minutes for major transactions, and director TDS / advance tax. We coordinate with your CA on statutory audit, with your CS on ROC filings, and provide the books as the single source of truth across all of them. Covers up to 300 monthly transactions; pricing scales for higher-volume Series A+ companies.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you support DPIIT-recognised startups claiming the 80-IAC tax holiday?
Yes. The 80-IAC deduction (100% of profits for 3 of 10 years) requires DPIIT recognition + Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB) approval. We maintain books that clearly segregate eligible business income, ensure your audit report (Form 56F) is filed correctly, and coordinate the IMB application documentation.
Do you do ESOP / SAR accounting under Ind AS 102?
For non-listed startups not yet on Ind AS, ESOP accounting follows Section 17(2)(vi) for tax purposes — no P&L hit until exercise. For Ind AS converged or listed companies, we compute fair value at grant date using Black-Scholes / binomial models and post stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period. Either approach handled.
How is burn rate calculated?
We provide two views: (1) Cash burn = (operating outflows + capex) per month — direct from bank statement; (2) Accrual burn = operating loss after non-cash adjustments. Runway is bank balance / cash burn. Both are reported each month so you and your investors see the same numbers.
We are flipping to Delaware / Singapore — can you handle the parent-subsidiary books?
Yes — for the Indian subsidiary side. We maintain Indian books in INR, prepare inter-company invoices to the parent (transfer pricing compliant), and coordinate with the parent's overseas accountant. Transfer pricing documentation (Form 3CEB, master file, local file) supported as separate engagement.
Does this replace a CFO?
No — it's the layer below a CFO. We close books, prepare MIS, and run compliance. Strategy, fundraising, and forecasting still need a CFO (fractional or full-time). But our books and MIS make a CFO 3-4x more effective once you hire one.
What does the process look like?
Fill the form → expert calls within 30 minutes → share documents on WhatsApp → we file → you receive certificates / acknowledgements. Zero office visits.
Are there hidden fees beyond the offer price?
No. The offer price covers the full scope listed in the bundle. Government fees (where applicable, like ROC for incorporations) are passed through at actuals — disclosed upfront before you pay.
