United States – Outsourced Accounting & Compliance Support

Supporting US Companies & CPA 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 provide structured outsourced accounting and compliance support to businesses and professional firms in the United States of America, through our dedicated back-office teams in India.


We act as a finance and accounting partner in the background – managing bookkeeping, reconciliations, month-end close, management reports and tax working papers, while US CPAs and advisors retain statutory responsibilities and filings.

Who We Serve in the US

  • US CPA/EA/Accounting Firms
    Looking for a reliable offshore team to handle bookkeeping, write-up, tax season support and routine back-office work for their clients.
  • Small & Medium Businesses (SMBs)
    Including service companies, professional practices, e-commerce brands, agencies and trading companies looking to stabilise their finance function at an efficient cost.
  • Start-ups & Growth Companies
    Especially SaaS, digital businesses and funded start-ups requiring regular, investor-grade financial information without building a large internal finance team.

Our Key Service Offerings for the United States

1. Outsourced Bookkeeping & Write-Up Services:

We work on widely-used US accounting platforms such as QuickBooks (Online & Desktop), Xero, Zoho Books and other ERPs to provide:


  • Day-to-day posting of income, expenses, bills, credit notes and journals
  • Customer and vendor ledger maintenance and ageing schedules
  • Bank, credit card and payment gateway reconciliations
  • Fixed asset register maintenance and periodic depreciation
  • Clean-up and catch-up bookkeeping for prior months/years

We follow your chart of accounts, closing checklists and documentation standards so our work integrates smoothly with your existing processes.



2. Month-End Close & Management Reporting:

We support a disciplined and timely month-end close, including:


  • Finalisation of monthly/quarterly Trial Balance, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet
  • Reconciliation of key control accounts (bank, AR, AP, loans, payroll, sales tax, etc.)
  • Preparation of management reports and MIS for owners and investors
  • Variance analysis (Actual vs Budget/Prior Period) and basic commentary

These deliverables help management take decisions based on accurate and up-to-date numbers.

Cash-Flow & Working Capital Support:


  • Short-term cash-flow projections using historical and planned data
  • Payables and receivables analysis to support management decisions

4. US Tax – Working Papers & Backend Support:

(We do not act as US tax return signers. All returns are filed by your US CPA/EA/tax firm. Our role is backend preparation and documentation.)


For US businesses and US CPA firms, we support:


  • Preparation of working papers for corporate and pass-through entity returns (e.g., Form 1120/1120S/1065 – as guided by your CPA firm)
  • Trial balance to tax return mapping schedules and adjustments
  • Book–tax difference analysis and documentation
  • Supporting schedules for depreciation, interest, provisions and other items
  • Data preparation for individual tax return work (Form 1040) based on information and instructions from your tax firm

We also help with documentation and reconciliations when responding to IRS or State notices, based on your advisor’s guidance.


5. Sales & Use Tax – Data Preparation and Reconciliations:

(Again, filings are done by your US advisor; we prepare the data and workings.)


  • State-wise sales reports based on accounting/e-commerce platform data
  • Nexus-based analysis inputs (turnover by state, transaction counts) as per guidance
  • Calculation of sales and use tax liability from transactional data
  • Reconciliation between sales tax returns, books and payment records

This support is particularly useful for e-commerce, D2C and SaaS businesses registered in multiple states.


6. Payroll Support & Related Accounting:

We provide backend support for payroll and related accounting:


  • Payroll computation workings based on time-sheets/salary structures shared
  • Preparation of payroll journals for posting in the accounting system
  • Reconciliations of payroll expense, liabilities and payments with ledgers
  • Support in organising payroll data for your US payroll provider/software (for W-2, quarterly filings and other compliance handled by them)

7. Support for US CPA/Accounting Firms:

For US professional firms, we operate as a white-label back-office under your name and supervision:


  • Ongoing bookkeeping and write-up work for your client portfolio
  • Year-end clean-up and finalisation of client books
  • Working papers for business and individual tax returns
  • Support during peak tax season to manage higher workloads
  • Special projects such as data clean-up, migration and large reconciliations

You manage client communication and sign-offs; we ensure quality, timeliness and documentation on the backend.

8. Special Projects & One-Time Assignments:

Beyond routine monthly work, we also undertake:


  • Historical data reconstruction for clients with incomplete or messy records
  • Migration from desktop systems or spreadsheets to cloud-based platforms
  • Preparation of financial information for banking, investment or M&A purposes
  • Custom reconciliations and analysis as requested by management or advisors

Engagement Models

To match different US client needs, we offer:

  • Dedicated Resource/Team Model
    Full-time equivalents (FTEs) working exclusively for your company or your CPA firm’s clients.
  • Monthly Retainer Model
    Defined recurring scope (bookkeeping, reconciliations, reports) at an agreed monthly fee.
