Challenges faced by Wealth Desk
Based on this assessment, Savage & Palmer may have identified a number of accounting challenges that were impacting Wealth Desk’s operations. Here are a few possibilities:
- Poor bookkeeping: If Wealth Desk did not have an accounting team in place, it’s possible that their bookkeeping was not being done properly. This could mean that financial statements were inaccurate or incomplete, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of the company’s financial health.
- Lack of financial controls: Without an accounting team, Wealth Desk may not have had proper financial controls in place to prevent fraud or errors. This could leave the company vulnerable to financial losses and damage to their reputation.
- Compliance issues: Depending on the industry and jurisdiction, Wealth Desk may have been subject to a variety of legal and regulatory requirements related to accounting and financial reporting. Without an accounting team to ensure compliance, the company could be at risk of penalties and fines.
- Inefficient processes: Wealth Desk may have been spending too much time on manual accounting tasks or using outdated software, which could be slowing down their operations and reducing their productivity.
Once these challenges were identified, Savage & Palmer would have worked with Wealth Desk to develop a plan to address them. This might have involved implementing new accounting software, hiring additional staff, or developing new policies and procedures to improve financial controls.
In addition to addressing these specific challenges, Savage & Palmer would have emphasized the importance of accounting for a startup like Wealth Desk.

Our Approach
Savage & Palmer,had recognized the possible challenges that businesses may face in relation to the non-deduction of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Goods and Services Tax (GST), which could result in legal and financial consequences such as penalties and interest. As WealthDesk, a wealth management technology platform, did not have an accounting team, Savage & Palmer provided them with professional services and highlighted the importance of accounting data for startups.
To address the potential issues, Savage & Palmer created a Management Information System (MIS) report that presents crucial notifications regarding TDS and GST. This report provides valuable information that enables internal teams to plan ahead and ensure compliance with tax regulations. The MIS report emphasizes the significance of the new electronic invoicing system introduced by the Indian government, called E-Invoicing, which streamlines the invoicing process and reduces errors and discrepancies. The report also highlights the TDS rates applicable to different types of goods and emphasizes the need to comply with TDS regulations to avoid legal and financial consequences.
Additionally, the MIS report advises businesses to conduct regular internal audits to ensure compliance with tax regulations and maintain accurate records of transactions. The report also emphasizes the potential advantages of effective tax planning strategies, which can optimize tax liabilities and decrease the risk of legal and financial consequences.
Overall, the MIS report by Savage & Palmer provides important information and guidance on compliance with tax regulations, enabling businesses like WealthDesk to plan ahead and implement effective tax planning strategies to ensure long-term success and avoid legal and financial consequences.
