Every entrepreneur has a story to tell: One of struggle & success, pain & persistence. Apart from the Big 4’s that was mostly catering to large corporate, there were hardly any consulting companies (more specifically from Chennai) who were catering to small/mid-size corporate. These SMEs & MSMEs needed someone to listen to their story? Hence, MCA was born! Also, since early 2011, the startup buzz started going up. The cost of hiring a full-time CFO did not work out for them. They needed a virtual CFO who can advise them on the pros & cons of deal, funding, compliances and others.

Fortunately for MCA, the time to time advice of their Mentor Padmashri T N Manoharan has helped them overcome obstacles and their success ratio has been more than 85 percent. Taking enormous pride in their journey since their establishment in 2008, Lalit says “During my initial years, being a triplet, my friends used to call me physic for having chosen an early stage consulting company (a startup in all sense) to kick-start my career. On hindsight, I knew I had chosen a field I always wanted to be in. Over a period, my decision proved to be right! At present we advice close to 200+ startups (including corporates whom we still continue to treat as startups as they keep evolving) as on date. We brought in analytical rigor and catalyzed implementation of best practices at an early stage.”

MCA caters its services to both Indian as well as global clients by offering a wide range of services to their clients, right from structuring of entity during incorporation to taking care of FEMA implications, international tax advice to ‘right kind’ of funding.
