About
A compliance firm that says what it does, and what it does not
GSTserve Advisory Services LLP works from Padivattom, Ernakulam, for small and medium businesses across India and for non-resident Indians with Indian tax obligations.
In short
GSTserve Advisory Services LLP is a tax, accounting and compliance firm in Padivattom, Kochi, led by designated partners Reghu Prasad and Sindhu Shenoy. It works for businesses across India and for NRIs. It is not a firm of chartered accountants; where the law needs a CA, company secretary or valuer, the client appoints one.
GSTserve Advisory Services LLP is a tax, accounting and compliance firm in Padivattom, Ernakulam. GST, income tax and TDS are filed on all-India portals, so the firm works for small and medium businesses anywhere in India. It prepares GST registrations and returns — GSTR-1, 3B, 9 and the self-certified 9C — reconciles input tax credit against GSTR-2B, tracks the credits that never reach 2B because a counterparty invoiced badly, monitors blocked credits, runs e-invoicing and e-way bills, drafts replies to notices and prepares the tie-outs for a representation before the authorities. It files income tax and TDS, keeps books and runs the monthly book-keeping and reconciliation cycle, handles MCA filings and business setup, and provides virtual CFO support — management accounts, forecasts and lender reporting. A growing NRI practice covers Indian property sales run from abroad: capital gains computation, foreign tax credit and repatriation compliance. The firm is led by Reghu Prasad — thirty years in financial management, with a Post Graduate Diploma in Goods and Services Taxation from the Gulati Institute of Finance and Taxation — and Sindhu Shenoy, twenty-four years in accounts and compliance. Every fee is quoted in writing before the work, boundaries are stated, and clients approve every filing.

The people
Named individuals, not a capability claim.
A named person is verifiable. A claim about access to unnamed senior professionals is not, and we do not make one.
Reghu Prasad
Designated Partner
Thirty years in financial management. Reghu leads the firm commercially and technically — the positions taken, the computations stood behind — with the senior staff, and personally answers every written assessment that comes through the NRI page, within two working days, Indian calendar.

Sindhu Shenoy
Designated Partner
Sindhu runs the firm itself — its finances, its administration, and the engagement calendar that keeps every deadline tight and honest. Every engagement is routed through the firm’s practice-management system, so the deadlines, the time spent and the state of each matter are tracked in one place rather than in anyone’s head.

How the firm works
Three habits, on every engagement.
Fees, in writing first
You get a fee and the scope it covers in one document, before any work begins. It is built on the volume of your business and the nature of the work, never on your turnover. If the scope changes, the fee is re-quoted in writing — before the work, not after.
Boundaries, stated
Some filings need a signature the law reserves to a profession in practice — a chartered accountant, a cost accountant, a company secretary, a registered valuer, an actuary. We are none of those and we sell no certificates: you appoint your own, and we take no referral fee. We tell you when that moment arrives, and we prepare the file they will work from.
Books stay yours
We reconcile; we don’t rewrite. Every entry we propose is one you see and approve before it touches your ledger, and a handover is available on request without charge or delay.
What we are, and what we are not
GSTserve is a limited liability partnership, not a firm of chartered accountants. We do compliance and accounting work — book-keeping, registrations, computations, returns, reconciliations, management accounts, virtual CFO reporting, applications, notice replies — and none of it requires a signature reserved by statute to a professional in practice. Where the law does require one — a chartered accountant, a cost accountant, a company secretary, a registered valuer, an actuary, an advocate — we say so, you appoint your own, and we prepare the file their work rests on. We think that line is worth stating plainly rather than leaving you to discover it.

Do you work with businesses outside Kerala?
Yes. GST, income-tax and TDS compliance is filed on all-India portals, so location matters less than process. Our base and most of our clients are in Kerala, and for NRI property matters the property is usually here — which is exactly where you need someone.
