Every question a startup client brings you, answered in one set.
Advise the startup. Value it. Keep it compliant under every rewritten regime. Defend it when the department challenges. Then run its finance as a Virtual CFO. Eight volumes, 562 pages, one download.
Your best client does not stop at one question.
The founder who asks you to set up the company asks next about the round, then the valuation, then the ESOP pool. The money from abroad brings FEMA filings. The first hires bring the Labour Codes and the DPDP Act. The new Income-tax Act renumbers every position on the file. When the department challenges any of it, somebody has to defend it. And once the company has a board, it needs a finance function. The practitioner who can hold all of it gets called first. Everyone else gets quoted against on price.
Advise it. Value it. Keep it compliant. Defend it. Run it.
Eight volumes, in the order a funded client brings the work to you. Each is a complete book in its own right, with its own checklists, matrices, and fee templates.
The CA / CS Practitioner's Guide to Startup Advisory
The whole terrain of startup advisory, from incorporation to exit. The playbook to scope, price, and run any engagement, and to become the founder's first call instead of the firm they outgrow.
- Structure the entity, the cap table, ESOPs, SAFEs, and CCPS correctly from day one
- Lead a Series A end to end, from term sheet to signed SHA
- Be the adviser the founder keeps, not the one they replace at scale
The Startup Valuation & Financial Reporting Handbook
The technical core that carries the highest fees and the steepest liability: Rule 11UA, the Ind AS standards, the funded-startup audit, and the IPO valuation bridge. The work most practices refer out, done in-house.
- Run defensible Rule 11UA and FEMA pricing valuations: ₹50,000 to 2,00,000 a round
- Design and value ESOP schemes under Ind AS 102: ₹1,50,000 to 4,00,000
- Sign the funded-startup audit and the IPO valuation bridge with confidence
The Tax Dispute & Litigation Handbook
What happens when the department challenges what you advised, valued, or filed: notices, faceless assessments, penalties, and winning appeals across income tax and GST. The highest-fee, highest-fear work, made winnable.
- Win it at the first faceless reply: ₹25,000 to 1,50,000 a matter
- Take it through the CIT(A) and the ITAT: ₹40,000 to 3,00,000 an appeal
- Add premium, recurring dispute revenue that no software commoditises
The Data Protection Compliance Handbook
The DPDP Act and the Rules under it create an entirely new compliance function inside every business that handles personal data, with penalties running to ₹250 crore. A practice line that did not exist three years ago.
- Run the readiness and gap assessment: ₹75,000 to 5,00,000 a client
- Sit as the outsourced Data Protection Officer: ₹40,000 to 2,50,000 a month
- Hold the breach-response and ongoing compliance retainers alongside it
The Labour Codes Handbook
On 21 November 2025 four Labour Codes replaced 29 central Acts, and basic pay must now be at least 50% of total remuneration. Almost every Indian employer must restructure its CTC, and the compliance that follows recurs every month.
- Scope and deliver the CTC restructuring: ₹40,000 to 2,50,000 a project
- Model the PF and gratuity impact of the 50% basic-wage floor to the rupee
- Hold it on a managed compliance retainer: ₹10,000 to 75,000 a month
The New Income-Tax Act, 2025 Handbook
The Income-tax Act, 2025 replaced a statute that had stood since 1961. The tax did not change, the map did. Everybody has to re-learn where it lives, and run two Acts side by side through the transition year.
- Re-cite every reference on the file: 819 sections down to 536, almost all renumbered
- Re-base a funded company's TDS stack into Secs. 392 to 394, codes 1001 to 1067
- Run the ESOP, capital-gains, and VDA positions correctly under the new numbering
The Cross-Border Capital & FEMA Handbook
Filing with the MCA does not satisfy FEMA. Two regulators, two portals, two deadlines. Every funded client already has a cross-border file, and the penalty for getting it wrong runs to three times the amount involved.
- Classify convertible notes, SAFEs, and the instruments that arrive from abroad
- Keep the perpetual annual returns alive, dormant overseas entities included
- Price it against the ICAI scale: ₹35,000 a Reserve Bank filing in a Class A city
The Virtual CFO Playbook
Once the company has a board and a burn rate, it needs a finance function it cannot yet afford full time. The same client pays ₹40,000 a year as a tax audit and ₹9,00,000 a year as a Virtual CFO.
- Price against a CFO's salary, not another firm's quote
- Know which clients you may take under Section 144 of the Companies Act
- Convert clients you already act for from annual to monthly
The practice this set builds
The difference between referring the work out and billing for all of it.
Referring the work out
- The founder asks about the round and you refer the valuation out
- The labour, DPDP, and FEMA work goes to whoever answers first
- A notice arrives and the matter goes straight to counsel
- You see the client once a year, at the tax audit
- You bill compliance rates while the work around it pays someone else
Fluent in all eight
- You take the company from incorporation through the Series A
- You sign the valuation and the audit in-house
- You scope, price, and deliver every compliance line yourself
- You meet the notice with calm competence and win it at the first reply
- You run the finance function every month, as their Virtual CFO

Written by the team that has done the work
Finjour has incorporated and advised Indian startups since 2015, running the payrolls, taking in the foreign cheques, signing the certificates, and standing with founders when the department challenged what was advised, valued, or filed. Every volume is grounded in the statute as it currently stands and tested on real engagements, not borrowed from a textbook or generated by AI.
Trusted by practitioners across India
“Wish this had existed five years ago. Has become my default desk reference for startup clients.”
“The labour and data protection volumes alone justified it. I have quoted work off the back of both.”
“Good set, and current, which matters more than usual right now. I would still like a physical copy option, but the PDFs are well made.”

Why all eight together?
Because a startup client does not stop at one question. The founder who asks you to set up the company asks next about the round, then the valuation, then the ESOP pool. Foreign money brings FEMA. The first hires bring the Labour Codes and the DPDP Act. The new Act renumbers every position on the file. When any of it is challenged, someone has to defend it, and once there is a board, the company needs a finance function. The set covers every one of those conversations.
I already own the Professionals or the Compliance bundle. Is this worth it?
This set includes every volume in both of those bundles, plus the Virtual CFO Playbook. Even if you own one of them, the volumes you do not have cost more on their own than this whole set.
Is this cheaper than buying them separately?
Yes, by a wide margin. On their own the eight volumes come to ₹19,492. The set is ₹7,999, so you keep ₹11,493, which is 59% off.
How current are they?
Each volume is written to the law as it stands in 2026 and says so on the page, including the changes most guidance still online has not caught up with. Where something is still moving, the books say what is coming rather than pretending the position is settled.
