Accounting and Bookkeeping: Monthly Books and Reports
Accounting and bookkeeping turn business transactions into consistent records that help you see income, costs, outstanding payments and unexplained balances. LIQUETAX can organise an agreed period's books, reconcile supplied records and prepare practical reports for your review. Clear books support decisions and later compliance preparation, while unresolved items remain visible instead of being silently estimated.

BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
Less uncertainty. More direction.
MSMEs, traders, manufacturers, service businesses and founders who need dependable monthly books or a backlog clean-up. For example, a business receiving UPI, bank and marketplace settlements should reconcile those receipts with invoices, refunds and fees before calling the entire bank credit sales. The scope begins with the transactions and reports you actually need.
Clarity before commitment
Know the deliverables, documents and costs before work starts.
Careful preparation
Identify missing or inconsistent information before submission.
Coordinated support
Bring preparation, queries and follow-up into one agreed workflow.
Practical next steps
Know what you need to provide and what happens at handover.

We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
01
Define the monthly workflow
Map sources, opening balances and the reports needed for the business.
02
Record and classify
Post the agreed transactions and list missing evidence or unusual balances.
03
Reconcile and resolve
Compare banks and selected ledgers and share exceptions for owner review.
04
Close and report
Provide the agreed books, reports and outstanding-item handover.
Timing agreed after document review
Agree a recurring closing calendar after the record-delivery dates are clear. Reports depend on complete invoices, statements and timely answers to exceptions. A backlog with missing opening balances requires its own estimate; a promised monthly report date should state which inputs must arrive first.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
Clear scope. No surprises.
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
Service scope to agree
Agree periods, transaction sources, reporting outputs and responsibility for records
Review opening balances and identify reconstruction work that needs separate approval
Record the agreed transactions using available supporting evidence
Reconcile banks and specified ledgers and maintain an exception list
Provide the agreed period-end reports and a practical review discussion
Outside the standard scope
—Statutory audit, assurance or certified financial statements unless separately engaged
—Guaranteed funding, profit improvement or tax savings
—Tax returns, company filings or notice replies not expressly itemised
—Invented invoices, unsupported expense claims or concealed personal transactions
Can you prepare books using only bank statements?+
Bank statements are an important source, but they do not fully explain sales, purchases, cash transactions, advances, refunds or owner movements. We request the supporting invoices and relevant ledgers, and identify unresolved items. This produces more useful reports than treating every bank entry as a final accounting answer.
How can bookkeeping help me manage cash flow?+
Agreed receivable and payable reports help you see unpaid customer invoices, supplier balances and amounts needing investigation. Comparing receipts with invoices can expose collection gaps or settlement differences. These reports support decisions, but improved cash flow depends on the business's actual collection and spending actions.
Are company books required to use double-entry accounting?+
The official published Companies Act section 128 requires company books on an accrual and double-entry basis. The rules apply to companies and include record-preservation responsibilities. Other entity types require their own applicable accounting review rather than assuming the company rule is universal.
What GST records should a registered business keep?+
CBIC's Rule 56 addresses accounts and supporting records for registered persons, including relevant invoices and transaction records. Our scope can organise those inputs and reconciliation questions. It does not replace a taxpayer-specific review of retention or specialised GST requirements.
Does the monthly fee include GST and TDS return filing?+
Only if those filings are expressly included in the written engagement. The quote separates transaction posting, reconciliations, management reports and compliance preparation. This makes it clear who approves returns and what information must be supplied for each period.
What happens when records are missing?+
We list missing evidence and unresolved balances for review instead of fabricating supporting documents. You provide explanations and genuine records, and material adjustments are approved before posting. A substantial historic reconstruction or disputed balance can require a separately agreed scope and estimate.

Question
What matters
Next step
Period and opening balances
Agree the months covered and review the previous closing balances before posting new transactions.
An unexplained opening figure can carry errors into every report. Historic reconstruction is separately identified instead of hidden inside monthly work.
Transaction sources
List sales, purchases, banks, cash, UPI, marketplaces, payroll and other sources used by the business.
A bank statement shows money movement but not the full reason for each transaction. Supporting invoices and explanations remain essential.
Reporting needs
Choose the useful reports: ledgers, trial balance, income and expense view, receivables or payables ageing.
Reports should help you identify overdue collections, avoid duplicate payments and understand costs. Bookkeeping does not itself guarantee growth or finance.
Compliance boundaries
Agree which GST, TDS, income-tax or company-compliance inputs will be reconciled or handed over.
Posting books and filing returns are distinct scopes. The company-record and GST-record rules also depend on the entity and registration.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
There is no universal government filing fee for the act of monthly bookkeeping. The professional quote and GST depend on the period, transaction volume, sources and reconciliation work. Tax, statutory filing charges, accounting software and any separately requested audit or compliance work are itemised only when included.
Transaction volume and number of accounts
Monthly work versus historic backlog
Inventory, payroll, branches and marketplace complexity
Reporting outputs, software and filing-reconciliation scope
Agree a recurring closing calendar after the record-delivery dates are clear. Reports depend on complete invoices, statements and timely answers to exceptions. A backlog with missing opening balances requires its own estimate; a promised monthly report date should state which inputs must arrive first.
