Expert Tax Planning & Audit Services for Startups & SMEs | Manika TaxWise

At Manika TaxWise, we understand that effective tax planning and transparent financial reporting are the cornerstones of a thriving business. Whether you’re a startup just getting off the ground, a small enterprise aiming for growth, or an established organization seeking efficiency, having a reliable partner to manage your tax, audit, and compliance functions is not just a convenience — it’s a necessity.

Running a business can feel like a juggling act. Amid operational challenges, client demands, and employee management, the last thing you want is a tax notice or audit surprise. That’s where we step in — combining professional expertise, strategic insight, and cost-effective solutions to keep your financial foundation strong.

 

1. Why Tax Planning & Auditing Matter

Taxes and audits are often seen as necessary evils — something you endure rather than leverage. But here’s the truth: they can actually unlock opportunities for growth, operational efficiency, and strategic planning.

Take this example: a small IT startup might overlook deductions under Section 80JJAA for new employees, losing out on potential savings of lakhs every year. Or consider a retail SME that misses GST input credits, resulting in avoidable cash flow stress. These mistakes are common but preventable.

Our Tax Planning & Audit Package is designed to address these challenges by offering a complete, end-to-end solution — from tax structuring and filing to audit and advisory. Here’s why this matters:

Key Reasons Tax Planning & Audit Are Essential:

  • Ensure Legal Compliance: Avoid penalties, late fees, and legal complications with timely, accurate filings.
  • Optimize Tax Savings: Identify legitimate exemptions, deductions, and incentives to reduce liabilities.
  • Enhance Financial Transparency: Build trust with investors, lenders, and stakeholders.
  • Support Strategic Decisions: Audit insights often reveal operational inefficiencies and growth opportunities.
  • Save Time & Resources: Outsource complex compliance tasks to experts so you can focus on core business activities.

Think of taxes and audits not as chores, but as powerful tools to strengthen your business.

 

2. Our Tax Planning & Audit Package: What’s Included

Our package combines professional services delivered by qualified accountants, auditors, and tax specialists, ensuring that your business is compliant, optimized, and growth-ready.

A. Tax Planning & Advisory

Our approach to tax planning is proactive, not reactive. Rather than simply filing returns, we analyze your financial structure and business operations to minimize tax liability legally and strategically.

Services include:

  • Comprehensive review of business type (Proprietorship, LLP, Private Limited) to identify optimal tax treatment.
  • Annual and quarterly tax planning reports to track potential savings.
  • Guidance on deductions, exemptions, depreciation, and investment planning.
  • Updates on tax law changes, ensuring your strategy remains current.
  • Representation for Income Tax Department assessments or queries, giving you peace of mind.

Example: A mid-sized manufacturing firm saved ₹1.2 lakh in taxes simply by restructuring depreciation schedules and claiming eligible exemptions — something they wouldn’t have noticed without professional review.

 

B. Statutory & Internal Audit

An audit is more than a compliance exercise — it’s a financial health check. Beyond verifying numbers, audits help identify operational risks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement.

Our audit services include:

  • Statutory Audit under Companies Act, 2013.
  • Tax Audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act.
  • Internal Audit to strengthen financial controls and prevent fraud.
  • Review of accounting systems, internal controls, and risk evaluation.
  • Preparation and submission of compliance-ready audit reports.

Real-life insight: Often, startups discover gaps in internal controls through audits, preventing future losses or regulatory penalties. A timely audit could save hundreds of thousands of rupees in fines and mismanaged funds.

 

C. GST Compliance & Audit

GST compliance can be a maze, especially with frequent updates and input credit complexities. We ensure your business is accurate, compliant, and cost-efficient.

Our GST services include:

  • Filing monthly and quarterly GST returns.
  • Annual GST reconciliation and audit (GSTR-9C).
  • Verification of Input Tax Credit (ITC) and vendor compliance.
  • Advisory on GST exemptions, rate applicability, and refund claims.

Tip: Many businesses unknowingly underclaim ITC or misclassify supplies, leading to unnecessary tax burdens. Our team proactively identifies and rectifies these issues.

 

D. Financial Statement Review

Accurate financial statements are vital for decision-making, investment opportunities, and stakeholder confidence. Our experts conduct detailed reviews aligned with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and Schedule III.

Services include:

  • Analysis of Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss statements.
  • Ratio and trend analysis to identify performance patterns.
  • Detection of errors, omissions, or inconsistencies.
  • Preparation of investor-ready financials.

Example: A startup seeking funding discovered through our review that cash flow reporting errors were inflating liabilities. Correcting them improved their creditworthiness and investor confidence.

 

E. Documentation & Reporting

Comprehensive documentation is the backbone of compliance. We ensure your records are complete, organized, and audit-ready.

Deliverables include:

  • Detailed audit reports with actionable recommendations.
  • Tax computation summaries and analysis reports.
  • Documentation checklists for future assessments.
  • Year-end compliance files for reference and record-keeping.

5. Why Our Package Stands Out

Our pricing philosophy is built on three pillars: Transparency, Quality, and Affordability.

Transparency

  • Clear, upfront pricing.
  • No hidden charges, layered billing, or unexpected costs.

Quality

  • All deliverables meet professional standards.
  • Reviewed by certified experts for accuracy and compliance.

Affordability

  • Bundled services significantly reduce per-service costs.

The package isn’t just about lowering taxes — it’s about building a sustainable financial strategy for your business.

We aim to make financial compliance accessible:

  • One-Time Annual Payment: Avail 10% discount on advance full-year payments.
  • Quarterly Installments: Helps startups manage cash flow efficiently.
  • Payment Modes: UPI, NEFT, credit/debit card, and cheque options available.
