FAQs on Virtual CFO Services for Japan

How does the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and Japan prevent double taxation on my income?

Under the India-Japan DTAA, taxes paid in either jurisdiction are eligible for Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) under Sections 90 and 91 of the Indian Income Tax Act. By submitting a valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and electronic Form 10F, eligible entities and NRIs obtain reduced withholding tax rates or complete exemption on cross-border business profits, dividends, and royalties.

What is the procedure for Form 15CA and Form 15CB when remitting funds between India and Japan?

Any foreign remittance from an Indian entity to Japan mandates a Chartered Accountant verification under Section 195. Our Senior CA evaluates the nature of payment, verifies withholding tax liability under the DTAA, issues a digitally signed Form 15CB certificate, and files electronic Form 15CA with the Income Tax portal prior to bank processing.

Can companies or foreign citizens in Japan incorporate a 100% owned Indian subsidiary?

Yes. Under the automatic FDI route, overseas corporate entities from Japan can incorporate a wholly owned private limited subsidiary in India without prior government approval for most sectors. IMAK Advisory handles end-to-end SPICe+ ROC incorporation, Director Identification Numbers (DIN), Digital Signatures (DSC), and files RBI Form FC-GPR within 30 days of equity allotment.

How does IMAK Advisory assist NRIs and expats based in Japan with Indian property sales and capital gains?

We provide complete advisory on repatriation under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), obtain Lower/Nil TDS Certificates (Form 13) from the Income Tax Department to reduce withholding tax from 20% down to actual tax liability, and coordinate NRE/NRO bank account transfers with full FEMA compliance.

Statutory Authority & Compliance Framework

Outsourced Finance Leadership From a Chartered Accountant Firm

IMAK Advisory is an ICAI-registered firm of chartered accountants in Whitefield, Bengaluru, providing outsourced finance leadership and temporary CFO services to startups, family businesses, LLPs and growing companies across India. The virtual CFO meaning is the work of a chief financial officer – reporting, cash, budgets, controls and stakeholder support – delivered part-time and remotely for a written scope, instead of a full-time salary.

A virtual CFO in India also has to manage GST, TDS, income tax, company law filings, MSME payment rules, FEMA reporting and bank CMA requirements, because they all affect the same cash and profit numbers. That is why businesses looking for virtual CFO India support often choose a chartered accountant firm rather than a reporting-only service.

Temporary CFO services cover a defined period: a gap between two full-time finance heads, a fundraise, audit preparation, a move to new software or a turnaround, with a written hand-over at the end. CFO services LLP partners use focus on profit by practice area, partner capital, drawings, the audit when required and LLP filings; we are not connected with any firm of that name.

It is time to hire a virtual CFO when cash visibility is poor, numbers arrive late or keep changing, banks or investors ask for reports you cannot produce, or you plan funding, a loan or expansion. When comparing virtual CFO companies in India, check who will do the work, ICAI registration, independence from your statutory auditor, the written scope and dates, data security and exit terms. Under section 144 of the Companies Act, your statutory auditor cannot also provide these services to your company, and a part-time adviser cannot be the whole-time chief financial officer that listed companies and larger public companies must appoint.

Our only office is in Bengaluru, and the work is done remotely with visits where useful. Businesses searching for virtual CFO services in Hyderabad or outsourced CFO services Mumbai firms can use remotely get the same monthly calendar, reports and reviews; we do not have offices in those cities. Anyone looking for virtual CFO jobs can see current openings, if any, on our careers page.

For startups, the focus is burn, runway, unit economics, a financial model for fundraising, investor updates on a fixed date and a data room ready before diligence begins. For established small and medium businesses, it is usually working capital and margins: debtors who pay late, stock that builds up, bank limits that are always full, and products or customers that quietly lose money. For subsidiaries of foreign groups, it adds group reporting formats, transfer pricing documentation and remittances to the parent. In every case, a few controls set up early – two-person payment approval, verified vendor bank changes, reviewed reconciliations and role-based software access – protect the business and make the annual audit faster.

The monthly routine is simple and fixed: books closed in the first week, an MIS pack with the agreed measures by the middle of the month, a review meeting with actions and owners, and a cash forecast updated every week. Each quarter brings a board or investor pack and a reforecast, and each year an annual budget, audit preparation and tax planning. You keep control of bank accounts, payments and approvals throughout.
