Shop owners and freelancers often struggle to keep their accounts up to date and file GST returns on time. A bookkeeping service handles monthly entries, invoices and reconciliation, and keeps clients ready for their filings.

You need a solid grasp of accounting software such as Tally or Zoho Books and of GST basics. Unless you are a chartered accountant, offer bookkeeping and compliance support only, and work with a CA for audits and certifications. Udyam registration helps once you start invoicing clients.

Costs are rough estimates and vary by city and scale. Check locally, and confirm licences with the relevant authority, before you commit money.
