Advisory that ends in three written actions, not a report
The advisory SOP is deliberately concrete: prepare a rolling cash-flow view of inflows against outflows ahead, flag receivables ageing before it hardens into bad debt, list every due date for the next 45 days with the amounts — and give the owner three clear actions in writing. It is the difference between having numbers and using them.
Advisory pairs naturally with the live dashboard: advance-tax instalments, GST and large supplier payments are visible weeks ahead, so money is set aside calmly instead of borrowed at the last minute. It is senior CA-level work on the top rate slab — and when combined with bookkeeping or GST in one engagement, the pricing engine charges additional services at 70% of their base effort because context is shared.

Frequently asked questions
What does an advisory cycle actually deliver?
Four things, every cycle: a rolling cash-flow view (inflows vs outflows ahead), receivables ageing with the risky balances flagged, the next 45 days of statutory and supplier due dates listed with amounts, and three clear recommended actions in writing.
Can I combine advisory with bookkeeping or GST work?
Yes, and it is cheaper together: the pricing engine prices your largest scope at full effort and each additional service at 70% of its base days, because the accountant already has your context. One engagement, one accountant, one dashboard.
