India's Startup Financial Partner

The Financial
Co-Founder
You Never Had.

90% of startups that fail — fail for financial and legal reasons. Not product reasons.

Wrong structure. No MIS. Unprotected IP. Walking into investor meetings with no numbers.

Founders Arc fixes all of it — and stays with you from your first day of incorporation to the day you ring the IPO bell.

Why You Need This From Day 1

Why Every Startup Needs a Virtual CFO From Day One

Most founders think a CFO is something you hire after Series A. That thinking costs them in avoidable taxes, missed investor signals, wrong structures, and financial decisions made completely blind.

A Virtual CFO is not an accountant who files returns. It is a strategic financial co-pilot who sits in your corner from day one — watching your numbers, protecting your equity, and making sure your finances tell the story that gets you funded.

"The founders who raise money don't just have great products. They have their financial house in order — and an advisor who helped them build it before the investor walked in."
🔥
Burn Rate & Runway Visibility
Know exactly how many months of runway you have — every week. Most startups don't die from bad ideas. They die from running out of money without seeing it 6 months early.
📐
Unit Economics Investors Trust
CAC, LTV, contribution margin, payback period — tracked and presented in a way that makes investors trust your business model instantly.
🛡️
Equity & Cap Table Protection
Every round, every SAFE, every convertible note changes your cap table. We track every movement so you never accidentally dilute yourself.
📋
Board-Ready Financial Reporting
Monthly P&L, cash flow, KPIs — clean, visual, investor-ready. Look like a company 10x your size from day one.
🎯
Strategic Financial Planning
3-year financial models, scenario planning, fundraise timing — the roadmap that shows investors you are building with intention.
MIS Dashboards

Your MIS Dashboard Is Your Startup's Cockpit.

MIS — Management Information System — is your startup's live scoreboard. Without it, you are flying blind into every investor meeting.

💰
Monthly P&L Dashboard
Revenue, costs, gross margin, EBITDA — tracked monthly. Know exactly whether your business is growing or bleeding.
→ Investor-ready in 48 hours
📉
Cash Flow Tracker
Money in. Money out. Real-time cash flow so you always know your exact position and never get caught off guard at month end.
→ Never run out of runway silently
📊
KPI Performance Dashboard
MRR, ARR, churn, CAC, LTV, NPS — in one place. Makes investors say "this founder understands their business."
→ Raise conversations start here
🎯
Budget vs Actual Analysis
Set targets. Track actuals. Understand variance. Know every month if you are on plan — and why if you're not.
→ Control your burn intentionally
🔮
Financial Projections Model
3-year bottom-up financial projections built on your actual business assumptions — not guesswork.
→ Walk into any pitch room ready
📬
Weekly Founder Pulse Report
Every Monday — revenue, expenses, cash position, one key alert. 5 minutes to read. Full clarity to start your week.
→ Start every week knowing your numbers

Everything a Startup Founder Actually Needs

Five service pillars — each solving a real, expensive problem founders face on the journey from idea to funded and beyond.

🏗️
Service 01

Company Incorporation & Structure

Why this matters
Your business structure decides tax, fundraising ability, and personal asset protection. Getting this wrong costs lakhs every year — and makes investors walk away.
What's Included
  • Private Limited · LLP · OPC — right structure for your vision
  • Complete ROC registration — MOA, AOA, PAN, TAN
  • Founders' equity design — shareholding and vesting schedules
  • Co-founders' agreement — protects every founder in the room
  • DPIIT Startup India recognition — 3 years zero income tax
  • Bank account setup and operational infrastructure
Talk to Simran →
Common Mistake
Wrong Structure = Lakhs Lost Every Year
Many founders incorporate as sole proprietors because it seems simpler — then discover they can't raise institutional funding or issue ESOPs.
Founder Protection
Vesting Schedules Protect Everyone
If your co-founder leaves in year one with 50% of your company, a vesting schedule would have prevented it. We set this up before it becomes a problem.
Free Money
Zero Income Tax for 3 Years
DPIIT-recognised startups pay zero income tax for any 3 years in the first 10 years. Most founders never claim this — we make sure you do.
Timeline
Fully Incorporated in 7–10 Days
From zero to a fully registered company — all documents, agreements, and accounts — in 7 to 10 working days.
🛡️
Service 02

Legal Protection & IP Fortification

Why this matters
You can build a brand for 2 years and lose the name because someone else trademarked it. A co-founder can walk out and claim half the company. Legal protection prevents all of this.
What's Included
  • Trademark registration — name, logo, tagline across all classes
  • Shareholders agreement — airtight equity and decision rules
  • Employee and contractor NDA and IP assignment
  • ESOP policy design — retain talent without burning cash
  • Co-founder exit and buy-out clause structuring
  • Investor-grade legal compliance audit before you pitch
Talk to Simran →
Real Risk
₹500 Filing vs ₹50 Lakh Legal Battle
A trademark filing costs ₹500–4,500. Defending your brand name in court costs ₹50 lakhs and years of distraction. Do it early.
Talent Retention
ESOPs Keep Your Best People
When your best engineer gets a competing offer, ESOPs give them a stake in the future — keeping them without burning runway.
Investor Requirement
Legal Due Diligence Is Non-Negotiable
Every serious investor runs legal due diligence before signing. Missing agreements can kill a deal in its final stages.
🚀
Service 03

Fundraising Readiness & Pitch Support

Why this matters
Most founders fail to raise not because the idea is bad — but because the financial story is unclear, the valuation is unjustifiable, or documents aren't ready when the investor asks.
What's Included
  • Investor pitch deck — built to get you in the room and close
  • Startup valuation report — defensible number with methodology
  • Investor data room — all documents organised and ready
  • Cap table modelling — before and after every round
  • Term sheet review and deal protection advisory
  • Angel tax advisory and Section 56 protection structuring
Talk to Simran →
Most Common Failure
Investor Said Yes — Then Opened the Books
Verbal yes. Investor asks for financials. Data room is empty. Numbers don't match the deck. Deal dies in 48 hours. We prevent this.
Valuation Reality
Your Startup Is Not Worth What You Think
A proper valuation report — with clear methodology — is what makes investors take your number seriously instead of walking away.
Hidden Trap
Angel Tax Can Eat Your Investment
If your investor's cheque is above fair market value, the difference is taxed as income. It can take 30%+ of your funding round.
📊
Service 04

Virtual CFO & MIS Dashboards

Why this matters
A full-time CFO costs ₹30–60 lakhs per year. A Virtual CFO gives you the same strategic financial oversight at a fraction of the cost — and unlike an accountant, helps you decide what happens next.
What's Included
  • Monthly MIS dashboard — P&L, cash flow, burn, runway in one view
  • Weekly founder pulse — 5 minutes, complete financial clarity
  • KPI tracking — MRR, CAC, LTV, churn, contribution margin
  • 3-year financial model and growth projections
  • Budget vs actual variance analysis every month
  • Strategic advisory — board meetings, investor calls, decisions
Talk to Simran →
Founder Reality
Your Investor Asked for Numbers. You Panicked.
Without MIS, monthly investor updates become a painful 3-day scramble. With Founders Arc, it takes 30 minutes.
Survival Metric
Most Founders Don't Know Their Runway
At your current burn rate — how many months until you run out of money? If you had to think about that, you need a Virtual CFO.
Investor Signal
Founders Who Know Their Numbers Raise Faster
Investor asks your CAC-to-LTV ratio — founder answers confidently with the exact number. That founder closes the round.
🧾
Service 05

Tax Planning & Compliance Autopilot

Why this matters
Tax planning for startups is not the same as tax filing. Done wrong, you overpay by lakhs. Miss a compliance deadline and you get penalties that drain your runway every month.
What's Included
  • Startup tax strategy — legally minimise your tax liability
  • GST registration, monthly filing and advisory
  • TDS computation, deduction and quarterly returns
  • ROC annual compliance, board resolutions, secretarial services
  • Director KYC, DIN and digital signature maintenance
  • Payroll structuring — tax-efficient salary for founders and team
Talk to Simran →
Free Money
3 Years Zero Income Tax — Most Founders Miss This
DPIIT startups pay zero income tax for any 3 years in the first 10. We register you and make sure every benefit is captured.
Hidden Cost
Wrong Salary Structure = Lakhs in Extra Tax
Structured correctly, your salary design can save ₹8–20 lakhs in personal tax annually. We design this from month one.
Penalty Protection
Never Miss a Compliance Deadline Again
GST, TDS, ROC, KYC — one missed deadline triggers compounding penalties. We run your full compliance calendar automatically.

Audit & Assurance

Audit is not compliance paperwork. For a startup, audit is the early warning system that finds problems before investors do, prevents fraud before it scales, saves money hidden in plain sight, and builds the trust that closes funding rounds faster.

Founders Arc Is Built for Exactly These Founders

We work exclusively with early-stage startup founders across India. If you see yourself below — Founders Arc was built for you.

💡
Just Starting Out
You have a validated idea, you're ready to incorporate, and you want to do it right the first time.
⚙️
Building Your Product
You're deep in product development and your finances are an afterthought you know needs fixing.
💰
Getting Ready to Raise
You have traction and you're preparing to pitch. You need a deck, valuation, and a CA who has read a term sheet.
📈
Just Raised Your First Round
Cheque is in. Now you need investor reporting, ESOP structuring, and a partner who scales with you.
Sound familiar? These are the problems we fix.
  • "I don't know if my company structure is right for fundraising."
  • "My investor asked for monthly MIS and I don't have it."
  • "I have no idea what my startup is actually worth."
  • "I've been meaning to register my trademark for months."
  • "My accountant doesn't understand startup finance at all."
  • "I don't know how much runway I have left."
  • "My pitch deck financials don't make sense to investors."
  • "I'm scared of angel tax and don't know how to avoid it."
After Founders Arc, founders say this instead:
  • I walked into the investor meeting knowing every number cold.
  • My MIS dashboard takes 30 minutes to update every month.
  • My valuation was challenged — and I defended it confidently.
  • My brand and IP are fully protected across all trademark classes.
  • I have 14 months of runway and I know exactly why.
  • The investor said our financial house was the best they'd seen at this stage.

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT

CA Simran
Gupta

Chartered Accountant · Founder — Founders Arc · India

I'm a Chartered Accountant who chose startup founders over corporate clients.

I kept watching brilliant founders across India build incredible products — and then struggle, stall, or lose deals because of avoidable financial and legal mistakes. Wrong structures. Missing documents. Numbers that couldn't hold up in due diligence. Valuations pulled from thin air.

So I built Founders Arc — a firm designed specifically for startup founders, from day one to the IPO bell and beyond.

I bring the rigour of a CA with the language and urgency of the startup ecosystem. Numbers, structure, legal, and narrative — all four, under one roof, built entirely for you.
