We have received your request. An expert will contact you within 12 hours.
Can an Indian subsidiary company use QuickBooks?
Yes. Many foreign parents keep the Indian subsidiary on QuickBooks so group finance sees the same structure and reports. India BizSetup's certified QuickBooks professionals configure INR and parent-currency books, set up GST and TDS tracking through tax rates and liability accounts, and reconcile them to Indian returns filed on the government portals.

Frequently asked questions
Does QuickBooks file GST returns for us?
GST returns are prepared and filed through the government portal or a compliance utility. We keep QuickBooks reconciled to the filed returns.
Can our parent see the Indian books?
Yes. Parent finance can be given access, or we send a monthly pack in the group format.
What about TDS?
We track TDS deducted and deposited through liability accounts and reconcile each quarter to the TDS returns.
Can you take over from another accountant?
Yes. We review the existing file, clean up balances and continue the books from an agreed date.
How much does QuickBooks accounting for an Indian subsidiary company cost?
Cost depends on transaction volumes, number of bank accounts, currencies, payroll and the reporting pack your parent needs. India BizSetup gives a fixed monthly fee after a free consultation, so you know the price before work starts.
How long does QuickBooks set-up and migration take?
A typical set-up takes two to four weeks, depending on how much opening data must be migrated and how many users, banks and approvals are configured. We run a pilot month before the cut-over.
Can you handle GST, TDS and ROC filings along with QuickBooks?
Yes. We keep QuickBooks reconciled to GST returns and TDS challans, and our accounting and secretarial teams can also handle the filings, so the books and the returns agree.
Will my parent company's auditors accept books kept in QuickBooks?
Yes. Group and statutory auditors work from the reports, audit trail and supporting documents. We prepare a reconciled trial balance, schedules and an audit-ready file at year end.
Do I need an Indian bookkeeper in addition to QuickBooks?
No. India BizSetup's team posts transactions, reconciles banks and closes each month, with a named accountant as your point of contact.
