October 28: Corient provides outsourced accounting solutions to diverse businesses to enable them to focus on their core objectives of business growth.

What is the idea behind providing outsourced accounting solutions to businesses? What is the business problem you are trying to solve?

Navin Mishra: Businesses, especially new startups may not be having full-fledged accounting functions to handle their bookkeeping and tax compliances. Hiring permanent employees for this purpose may not be viable for them. At the same time, every business needs to maintain accounts from the first day. We offer tailored solutions for such businesses so that they can run their business smoothly.

What kind of services do you provide? Do you cover all areas of accounting?

Navin Mishra: We provide end-to-end bookkeeping solutions that cover purchases, payments, invoicing of sales, recording collections, bank reconciliations, cash flows etc. We can handle the payroll function too by generating payroll runs at the required frequency., creating job progress reports, sending payslips to employees and filing the payroll returns. We help businesses analyze their performance by offering them automated daily/weekly/monthly dashboards. We also generate monthly and quarterly reports for management accounting. This gives the top management a complete view of the business across verticals. Administration of tax compliances can be a tedious and time-consuming task. By outsourcing this task to seasoned professionals, businesses can ensure the accurate and timely filing of tax returns with a reduction in processing costs and errors. We can ensure the maintenance of audit trails and address audit queries. As far as year-end accounting is concerned, we can help to finalize the books of accounts by making year-end adjustments and drawing up the Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet for audit. We help accounting firms in the preparation of income tax returns for individuals, fiduciaries, non-profit organizations, partnerships, corporations, estate and gift tax returns, payroll returns, IRS forms, Sales and Use Tax Returns and Year-end reporting.
