One fixed monthly fee, every filing on time
In short: A. George & Associates offers fixed monthly packages for startups, SMEs and growing companies in Kochi and Kerala. Each package covers bookkeeping, GST, TDS and annual filings on an agreed calendar, with options for payroll, monthly MIS and a virtual CFO, so you know the cost upfront and never miss a due date.
Most small businesses do not need a full-time accountant and a separate tax consultant, a payroll vendor and an auditor who only appears at year end. They need one team that keeps the books current, files everything on time and tells them where the business stands.
Our packages bring this together for a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront, based on transaction volume and the services you choose. Every package includes a named contact and a compliance calendar for your business.
Sound familiar?
"Our GST and TDS returns are always filed at the last minute, sometimes with late fees."
"Our books are six months behind, and the bank has asked for financials."
"We pay three different people for accounts, payroll and tax, and none of them talk to each other."
"We never know what the accountant's bill will be until it arrives."
A fixed package with one team fixes all four.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a monthly package cost?
It depends on your transaction volume, number of employees and the filings involved. We quote a fixed monthly fee after a short call, and it is agreed in writing before we start.
Can you take over from our current accountant?
Yes. We take over the books and logins, review the recent filings, and fix any backlog as part of onboarding.
Do you use accounting software?
We work with common accounting packages such as Tally and Zoho Books, and can set one up for you if you do not have one.
Is the statutory audit included?
No. As auditors, we keep audit separate from bookkeeping where independence rules require it, and quote it as an add-on or refer it where appropriate.
Can we change packages later?
Yes. Most clients start with Essentials and move up as the business grows.
