About us
Finance expertise, connected from direction to delivery.
iRAISE brings virtual CFO leadership, finance consulting and managed finance into one team. Our local office is in Chennai, with people in the UK, the USA, the UAE and Singapore.
One firm
One team for advice and implementation
Our model connects senior finance advice with the people who implement it. Strategy, forecasts, MIS, accounting operations and statutory work can draw from one current financial picture.
You can engage us for a defined consulting project, ongoing finance leadership, the monthly finance cycle or additional capacity for a CA firm. The scope follows the work rather than a turnover threshold.

primary service pillars
Experience
Experience applied to the work in front of you
The experience, qualifications and investor-network work described below span iRAISE’s global operations. The team brought into each India engagement depends on the work.
Big Four and Fortune 500 experience
The group includes people who have worked in Big Four firms and Fortune 500 companies.
Professional qualifications
The group’s professional qualification pool spans financial accounting, management accounting and information-systems audit.
Funding preparation and investor networks
Team members have supported funding preparation and worked with private equity and venture capital networks. We prepare the financial case, the data room and the diligence responses; introductions and funding are outside the engagement.
Who you will deal with
The people on your account
You get a named contact from the first call, and the same people stay with you afterwards.
Leadership
The people who answer a first enquiry themselves.

Srinivasa Varadhan S

The wider team
The people who do the monthly work across India, the UK, the US, the UAE and Singapore.

Bookkeeping, payroll, purchase ledger and reconciliations, in Xero and QuickBooks. She runs several company ledgers at once and keeps each one ready for audit.

Paul Abraham
Planning and analysis
Budgets, forecasts and revenue models. He builds the monthly MIS pack — the KPI dashboard and the P&L — that tells you where the business actually is.

Experience across six sectors
iRAISE experience includes work with businesses in these sectors.
- Technology and software

- Supply chain and logistics
Where we work from
Five locations, one team
Our five locations help keep work moving outside Indian business hours. Indian expertise stays close to Indian accounting, tax and statutory matters, while the wider team adds capacity and specialist input.
Compliance work is done in-house. It is never passed to a partner firm.

How we work
How we work with clients
We work alongside your team. You get a named contact for routine queries, and direct access to a senior person when important decisions require guidance.
We use technology where it earns its place. Better accuracy, a faster close and clearer reporting — not dashboards for their own sake.
We go beyond compliance. Filing on time is the baseline, not the offer.
We size the engagement to the work. Choose Virtual CFO Services, Strategy & Finance Consulting, Managed Finance Services or Accounting Practice Support. Combine pillars when the work crosses more than one area.
