US & India Regulatory Alignment
Where standard bookkeeping breaks in this sector
Off-the-shelf bookkeepers treat all transactions the same. Here is what goes wrong when accounting isn't tailored to your operating model:
Transfer Pricing & Cost-Plus Markups
Impact: IRS or Indian Income Tax Department auditing the intercompany service agreement due to non-arm's length pricing.
How Finendra solves this:
Documented cost-plus markup schedules (typically 10-15%) with monthly intercompany invoice reconciliation.
IRS Form 5472 & Foreign Disclosure Penalties
Impact: Severe $25,000 automatic IRS penalty per year for failure to report transactions with 25%+ foreign shareholders.
How Finendra solves this:
Year-round tracking of reportable intercompany loans, capital infusions, and service payments for Form 5472 prep.
Dual-Book Currency & Accounting Conflicts
Impact: US books in USD on US GAAP vs. Indian subsidiary books in INR on Ind AS / Schedule III creating confusion.
How Finendra solves this:
Dual-currency consolidation translating INR expenses to USD with proper FX gain/loss entries.
RBI, FEMA & 15CA/CB Remittance Hurdles
Impact: Funds stuck in transit between US Mercury/Brex accounts and Indian bank accounts due to missing CA certificates.
How Finendra solves this:
Complete documentation packs for Indian banks (Inward Remittance, FIRC, and 15CA/CB liaison support).
