CA Services for Online Startups in India

N D Savla & Associates – Chartered Accountants for Digital & Internet-First Businesses

Online startups move fast. Revenues scale quickly, costs change monthly, and compliance is often an afterthought until notices arrive. From GST on digital services to investor reporting and cross-border payments, startups need a CA firm that understands the startup lifecycle, not just filings.

N D Savla & Associates provides specialised CA services for online startups, helping founders stay compliant, investor-ready, and financially clear from day one.

We work with SaaS companies, D2C brands, marketplaces, app-based businesses, content platforms, and internet-first startups across India.


Financial & Compliance Challenges Faced by Online Startups

Digital startups face challenges that traditional accounting models don’t cover well:

  • GST on online services, subscriptions, and platforms

  • High marketing spends and cost tracking

  • Multiple payment gateways and reconciliation

  • Foreign payments, SaaS tools, and FEMA compliance

  • Investor reporting and MIS expectations

  • Cash burn visibility and runway planning

Our role is to bring structure without slowing you down.
