United Kingdom – Outsourced Accounting & Compliance Support

Supporting UK Businesses & Professional Firms from India

Ashok Chhajed & Associates is a professionally managed Chartered Accountancy firm based in India, established in 1984 under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949.


With over four decades of experience serving PSUs and reputed Indian corporates, we now extend our capabilities to support businesses and accounting firms in the United Kingdom through structured outsourced accounting and compliance support from India.


We work as a back-office finance partner for UK clients – handling the day-to-day accounting, reconciliations, management reporting and working papers, while your UK advisors retain statutory and regulatory responsibilities.

Who We Serve in the UK

  • UK Accounting/CA Firms and Bookkeeping Practices
    Needing a reliable offshore team to manage bookkeeping, year-end working papers, VAT workings and management accounts for their client base.
  • Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
    Including trading companies, service providers, e-commerce businesses, consultants and owner-managed companies that want a stable, cost-effective finance function.
  • Start-ups & Growth-Stage Companies
    Requiring regular, timely financial information for founders, investors and lenders, without building a large in-house accounting team.

Our Key Service Offerings for the UK

1. Outsourced Bookkeeping & Cloud Accounting:

We work on commonly used UK accounting platforms such as Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books and Sage (or your preferred system) and provide:


  • Day-to-day recording of sales, purchase and expense transactions
  • Posting of journals, accruals and prepayments
  • Customer and supplier ledger maintenance and ageing analysis
  • Bank, credit card and payment gateway reconciliations
  • Fixed asset register maintenance and depreciation workings

Deliverables are aligned with your chart of accounts and reporting requirements.


2. Month-End Close & Management Accounts:

We support a disciplined month-end close process for your UK entities:


  • Preparation of monthly/quarterly Profit & Loss Account, Balance Sheet and cash-flow statements
  • Reconciliations of key control accounts (bank, debtors, creditors, payroll, VAT, etc.)
  • Budget vs Actual analysis and variance commentary
  • Segment/cost-centre/project-wise profitability analysis where data allows
  • Simple MIS packs for directors, founders and investors

These reports give management timely insight without the need for a full internal finance team.


3. VAT & MTD Support – Working Papers & Reconciliations:

We provide backend support for VAT and Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements (filings are done by your UK firm/agent):


  • Transaction-wise VAT analysis (standard-rated, reduced-rated, zero-rated, exempt)
  • Preparation of VAT return workings and summarised figures for each box
  • Reconciliation between VAT returns and underlying ledgers
  • Support in compiling documentation for HMRC queries and reviews

Our role is to ensure that your UK advisor receives clean, reconciled and well-documented data to file on time and respond effectively to any questions.


4. Year-End & Statutory Accounts Support:

For year-end and statutory reporting, we assist UK companies and UK accounting firms with:


  • Finalisation of trial balance and ledger scrutiny
  • Preparation of schedules for major heads (debtors, creditors, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, loans, etc.)
  • Assistance in drafting financial statements and notes, as per the formats required by your UK advisor (e.g. FRS 102/FRS 105 – as guided by your UK firm)
  • Support in audit preparation – pulling samples, backing documents and reconciliations

We do not act as UK statutory auditors or signers of accounts; instead, we provide comprehensive working papers to enable your UK firm to complete compliance smoothly.


5. Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable & Payroll Support:

We help strengthen your working capital and operational processes through:


Accounts Receivable:


  • Sales invoice preparation/posting based on your inputs

  • Payroll journals and reconciliations to accounts
  • Support in mapping data to UK payroll software/advisors for final processing and filings

6. Support for UK Accounting & Advisory Firms:

For UK CA/CPA/bookkeeping firms, we operate as a white-label back-office under your supervision:


  • Bookkeeping and write-up services for your client portfolio
  • Year-end working papers and trial balance finalisation
  • VAT return workings and reconciliations
  • Management accounts preparation branded in your firm’s name
  • Ad-hoc projects (data clean-up, migration, historical reconciliations)

You maintain client relationships and sign-offs; we ensure delivery quality and timeliness in the background.

7. Special Projects & One-Time Assignments:

Beyond routine monthly work, we undertake:


  • Clean-up of historical accounting data and backlogs
  • Migration from spreadsheets or legacy software to cloud accounting platforms
  • Large-volume reconciliations across multiple periods
  • Preparation of financial information packs for fundraising, banking or strategic decisions
