The depth of an established practice. The execution of a modern finance team.

Institutional depth

Technical accounting and tax positions settled in-house — US GAAP and Ind AS, US federal and state tax, UK VAT, India GST, FEMA and transfer pricing — with audit and assurance through a practice in its fourth decade.

Modern finance

ERP that reports decisions rather than transactions, and agentic AI across AP, AR, reconciliation, close and billing — built by people who know what the number is supposed to be.

Advice to Execution

The view and the implementation come from the same team — through to the shareholder agreement, the SPA, the cap table and the offer document a CFO is expected to own.

One finance partner, across the lifecycle.

Case 01Public markets

From historical financials to a public listing

Indian enterprise · SME listing

The challenge

The company was preparing for an SME public listing and required financial information that could withstand the scrutiny of merchant bankers, professional advisers, investors and the public-market process.

The work required going beyond normal financial statement preparation to establish consistent, reconciled and diligence-ready financial information across multiple historical periods and the current interim period.

What Acfino did

  • Prepared and validated Restated Financial Statements for the preceding three financial years
  • Prepared financial information for the relevant current-year stub / interim period
  • Reconciled trial balances, ledgers, financial statements and supporting schedules
  • Identified and addressed adjustments, regroupings and reclassifications
  • Prepared supporting schedules and working papers
  • Supported financial due diligence
  • Supported financial information for the DRHP and RHP
  • Coordinated with merchant bankers and other professional stakeholders
  • Responded to information requests and review queries
  • Supported certificates and listing-related documentation
  • Performed consistency and quality checks across the financial information and offer documents

Outcome

Acfino supported the financial workstream through the company's actual SME listing, taking the work from historical financial information and reconciliation through restatement, offer-document financial information and stakeholder review.

Capability demonstrated

  • Public Markets
  • Financial Reporting
  • Due Diligence
  • Transactions
