Sammantr runs accounting, compliance and the finance function for startups and growing SMEs, with a CFO who sits at your table.
For startups, pre-seed to Series B, and SMEs above ₹5 crore turnover.
If two or more of these are true, your finance function needs more than a part-time accountant.
Each tier includes everything in the one before it.
For businesses that need accurate books and every statutory deadline met, without chasing.
You get: a compliance calendar and a monthly status note.
For teams that need finance run properly, with reports management can act on.
You get: a dedicated team lead and a monthly review meeting.
For founders and boards who need senior finance leadership for a fraction of a full-time CFO's cost.
You get: a CFO in your leadership meetings, backed by our delivery team.
Fees depend on transaction volume and scope. We quote a fixed monthly fee after a short discovery call.
30 minutes on your business, your current setup and what's not working.
We review your books, compliance status and reporting, and tell you what we find.
A fixed scope, the right tier, a named team and a clear monthly fee.
Clean-up, system access and a compliance calendar. Then monthly delivery starts.
Shashi Kumar qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2016 and set up his own practice the same year, advising growing businesses on tax and finance. In 2020 he founded Sammantr to give companies what a compliance vendor rarely does: a finance function built on clear processes, so it keeps working as the business scales.
He leads finance as a director in two growing companies and has helped businesses restructure their finances and prepare for pre-IPO stages. He has invested in a startup through to its acquisition, and sits on the advisory boards of select startups.
Teaching has run alongside his practice from the start. He founded an educational institute in 2014 and is a regular resource person at colleges and institutes. Sammantr Academy carries that work forward. He is also the founder of the R S Shashi Foundation, a non-profit for social and educational initiatives.
Can't find your question? Ask it on the call.
Usually not. We work in the software you already use, such as Tally or Zoho Books, and suggest a change only if it's holding you back.
Yes. Many businesses keep their accountant for daily entries while we handle reconciliation, compliance, reporting and review.
Every client has a team lead, and the work follows documented processes and review checklists. A change in people doesn't mean starting over.
You control access to your systems. Our team works on named logins, and access is removed when an engagement ends.
A fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume and scope, agreed in writing after the diagnostic. No surprise bills.
