Core Financial Services

VLP&CO is structured to handle a broad range of financial and compliance tasks, eliminating the need to coordinate between multiple agencies. The firm’s reputation is built on delivering comprehensive, end-to-end solutions under one roof.

Income Tax Services

Taxation lies at the core of the firm’s practice. VLP&CO assists with income tax return filing, tax planning, and advisory services for salaried individuals, professionals, and businesses. They navigate the latest tax regulations to optimize liability while ensuring full compliance with the Income Tax Department.

Auditing & Assurance

The firm conducts statutory audits, internal audits, and tax audits with meticulous attention to detail. Their approach provides stakeholders with confidence in financial statements and helps identify operational improvements. Clients have praised their capability to manage complex audits even in remote locations, including a noted audit completion at the southernmost school of India in Campbell Bay.

Compliance Management

Regulatory compliance can be overwhelming, but VLP&CO simplifies it. They manage GST filings, TDS returns, ROC filings, and other statutory requirements, keeping businesses in good standing with all applicable laws. This prevents penalties and lets entrepreneurs focus on growth rather than paperwork.

Financial Consulting & Advisory

Beyond routine filings, the firm offers strategic financial consulting. This includes business structuring advice, project finance support, and financial health assessments that help clients make informed decisions for expansion, investment, or restructuring.

Serving the Andaman Business Community

Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair) and the surrounding islands present unique business conditions, from tourism-driven enterprises to government contractors and local trade. VLP&CO understands these local dynamics intimately. Their services are tailored to the specific regulatory environment of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, including Union Territory tax rules, local trade licenses, and specialized economic zone incentives where applicable.

The firm works with a diverse clientele—retail shops, hoteliers, transport operators, construction firms, and professional services providers—all of whom benefit from accounting practices that reflect island realities. By maintaining close relationships with local authorities and staying updated on regional policy changes, VLP&CO offers an advantage that mainland-based or purely online firms cannot match.
