Practice Overview

Deep fund accounting expertise, not a generalist back-office.

Fund accounting is a specialism, not a bolt-on to general bookkeeping. Gnostos runs a dedicated fund accounting practice covering Indian AIFs and PMS structures, GIFT IFSC/IFSCA-regulated Fund Management Entities (FMEs), and cross-border NAV and reporting work for funds based in the UK, Australia and the USA.

Every engagement — from NAV computation to investor MIS to regulatory filings — is reviewed by a Chartered Accountant with hands-on experience across Category I, II and III AIFs, IFSCA Fund Management Regulations, SEZ Act and FEMA provisions, so fund managers get technically correct numbers, not just tidy spreadsheets.

Specialism

AIF & FME Taxation

Taxation and compliance support for Alternative Investment Funds and IFSCA-registered Fund Management Entities.

Why It Matters

A generalist bookkeeper and a fund accountant are not the same hire.

Generalist Bookkeeping
Standard Ledger→Manual NAV Logic→Compliance Guesswork

Applied to a fund structure, generic bookkeeping tools and templates struggle with capital calls, drawdowns, carry, unit allocation and NAV waterfalls — and rarely account for IFSCA, SEBI or FEMA-specific treatment.

Gnostos Fund Accounting
Fund-Structure Aware→Correct NAV Logic→Regulatory Confidence

Built around how AIFs, FMEs and PMS structures actually work — unit capital, income/expense allocation, valuation, and IFSCA/SEBI/FEMA/Income-tax treatment handled correctly from the first NAV cycle.
