What Is Virtual Accounting Support?
Virtual Accounting Support refers to day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping assistance provided remotely to help businesses keep their financial records accurate, organized, and up to date. It focuses on handling routine accounting tasks that are essential for smooth operations but do not require a Chartered Accountant.
This support typically includes activities such as recording transactions, managing expenses and receipts, performing bank reconciliations, tracking invoices, and maintaining accounting records in tools like Tally or Excel. The goal is to ensure your books are clean and consistent, so your CA can easily review them and handle compliance, filings, or advisory work without delays.
Virtual Accounting Support is operational in nature. It does not involve tax filing, GST returns, audits, or financial decision-making. Instead, it acts as the accounting backbone of your business—keeping data accurate, timely, and ready for professional review.
What Tasks We Handle
Our Virtual Accounting Support covers the core operational accounting tasks required to keep your books accurate, updated, and review-ready. Each task below is handled as part of your regular accounting workflow and aligned with the scope agreed at the start.
Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations
We reconcile your bank and credit card statements with recorded transactions to ensure there are no mismatches, missing entries, or duplicate records. This helps identify errors early and keeps your balances accurate at all times.
Expense & Receipt Management
We organize, record, and categorize business expenses along with supporting receipts. This ensures all expenses are properly tracked, documented, and easy to reference when needed by your CA or internal team.
Invoice Recording & Tracking
We record issued and received invoices, track their status, and maintain a clear view of pending and completed payments. This helps you stay on top of receivables and payables without manually chasing spreadsheets.
Basic Bookkeeping
We handle routine bookkeeping activities such as recording daily transactions, maintaining ledgers, and ensuring entries are made accurately and consistently. This forms the foundation of clean and reliable accounts.
Tally Data Entry & Maintenance
We manage accounting data entry and upkeep within Tally, including vouchers, ledger updates, and transaction records. Work is done strictly based on your defined process and in coordination with your existing accounting setup.
Accounting Data Cleanup (When Required)
If your accounts are partially maintained or inconsistent, we help clean up historical entries, organise records, and bring your books to a stable and usable state before regular accounting support begins.
