The firm
We handle the obligations, and help you understand what they mean.
SMK & Co. is a Chartered Accountancy practice based in Bengaluru, with a second office in Shivamogga. We work with private companies, LLPs, partnerships and proprietors — most of them owner-managed businesses that need their statutory work done properly and want a straight answer when something is unclear.

View all services →How we work
A clear process, from understanding the business to supporting it.
-
We start with the business, not the file.
Before any scope is proposed we learn how the business operates, what it is obliged to file, and where the pressure points sit — who keeps the records, how the numbers are produced, and what has caused trouble before.
-
Scope set against real risk.
Records, systems and prior filings are reviewed to establish what genuinely needs attention. The engagement is then scoped in writing — deliverables, timelines and the partner who owns the work.
-
Partner-led work, properly documented.
The work is carried out by a partner-led team to ICAI standards, with working papers and documentation prepared to stand up to later review by a bank, a buyer or the department.
-
We remain involved after the filing.
Notices, queries and the filings that follow are handled as they arise. Clients reach the partner who did the work rather than starting again with someone new.
-
Each cycle informs the next.
At the close of a cycle we go back over what came up — recurring adjustments, weak controls, late records — and agree what to tighten before the next year begins.
Industries
Different businesses. Different risks. Different decisions.
Revenue recognition across contracts, ESOP and cross-border structuring, and IT general controls.
Inventory valuation and costing, GST on movement of goods, and reconciliation of plant records to the books.
Advances classification and IRAC norms, branch documentation, and concurrent and statutory audit cycles.
Firm structure and partner remuneration, receivables discipline, and TDS on professional payments.
Percentage-of-completion accounting, project-wise cost tracking and GST on works contracts.
Entity structure, cap table hygiene, statutory registers and a close process that survives first diligence.
We spend our time in the businesses we audit, not only in their ledgers.
