Stage & Footprint

06 · FINANCE SHAPED BY WHERE YOU ARE, NOT WHAT YOU SELL

Stage & Footprint

Whatever your industry, your stage and your map change what finance must do.
A startup raising its first round and a group running entities across several countries need very different finance, even in the same industry.

Burn, runway and investor-ready books

Startups & Scale-ups

Fast-moving businesses where the books must be ready for investors, due diligence and the next round.

Funding→Burn→Runway→Unit economics→Milestones→Next round

Where finance gets stuck

  • Books not ready for due diligence
  • Burn and runway estimated, not measured
  • Founders doing finance at midnight
  • ESOPs, convertibles and cap table not reflected in accounts

What your MIS must show

  • Monthly burn and runway
  • Unit economics by product / customer
  • Budget vs actual
  • 13-week cash forecast
  • Investor KPIs

Compliance to watch

  • Incorporation and ROC filings
  • DPIIT recognition and related benefits
  • FDI reporting for foreign investment
  • ESOP accounting and compliance

How Vasudhaiva helps

  • Business Accountant™ from day one
  • Investor-ready MIS and data room
  • Fractional CFO for fundraising
  • Business setup and structuring

Global & Cross-Border

Import / export businesses, multi-entity groups, global service businesses and companies entering India.

Entities→Currencies→Intercompany→Local compliance→Consolidation→Group view

Where finance gets stuck

  • Each country's books in a different system
  • Intercompany balances that never agree
  • Forex gains and losses surprising management
  • No consolidated view of group performance

What your MIS must show

  • Group consolidated P&L and cash
  • Entity-wise performance
  • Intercompany reconciliation status
  • Forex exposure
  • Export realisation and receivables

Compliance to watch

  • ODI, FDI, APR and regular FEMA filings
  • Transfer pricing documentation
  • Export / import realisation tracking
  • Local compliance in each country

How Vasudhaiva helps

  • Accounting across India, USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada and Singapore
  • Multi-entity consolidation
  • India entry and business setup
  • Cross-border compliance end to end
