About SME Accounting
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
SME accounting combines monthly bookkeeping with GST returns, TDS deduction and quarterly TDS statements, receivables and payables tracking, inventory accounting and a monthly MIS report. It suits businesses with turnover from roughly ₹1 crore to ₹50 crore that have outgrown a part-time accountant but don't need a full finance team.
Growing businesses often have one person entering data, another filing GST and a third doing the tax return. The numbers never quite agree, and nobody owns the overall picture.
This plan puts one CA-led team in charge of the whole cycle: entries, reconciliations, GST, TDS, payroll entries, inventory and month-end close, followed by a short MIS — revenue, margins, cash, receivables and payables — that you can actually use to run the business.
It also keeps you on the right side of rules that cost SMEs money: TDS on rent, contractors and professionals, the 45-day payment rule for MSME suppliers under Section 43B(h), and tax audit when turnover crosses the limit.
| Who it suits | Businesses with roughly ₹1–50 crore turnover |
|---|---|
| Covers | Books, GST returns, TDS and quarterly statements, MIS |
| MSME payables | Section 43B(h): pay micro/small suppliers within 45 days to claim the expense |
| Tax audit | Turnover above ₹1 crore (₹10 crore if cash transactions ≤ 5%) |
| Monthly output | Financials, MIS, receivables and payables ageing |
