Zoho and processes for Indian subsidiaries and GCCs

Quick answer

For Indian subsidiaries and Global Capability Centres (GCCs) of foreign companies, NeX sets up Zoho so local compliance and group reporting both work: Indian GST and TDS, a chart of accounts mapped to the group, multi-currency, intercompany reconciliation, a fast close and a reporting pack in US GAAP or IFRS format, with controls the parent's auditors will recognise.

Frequently asked questions

Can Zoho Books meet both Indian and group reporting needs?
Yes, for most subsidiaries and GCCs. The chart of accounts follows Indian statutory needs and maps to the group's accounts, so local statements and the parent's reporting pack come from the same ledger. Larger groups may run the parent's ERP instead; we work with that too.
Our parent uses SAP, Oracle or NetSuite. Should the Indian entity use Zoho?
If the parent can extend its ERP to India with local tax support at a sensible cost, that is often simpler. Otherwise Zoho gives Indian compliance at a lower cost, with a monthly reporting pack or file interface to the parent. We help you decide.
Do you also set up the subsidiary itself?
ProLead handles company incorporation, registrations and compliance through startbusinessinindia.com, and offshore finance operations through offshoreaccountinghub.com. NeX sets up the processes and systems.
