Financial Model and Data Room
FinAura builds a financial model you can actually use: revenue, costs, hiring and cash linked into a profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, with every assumption written down and scenarios you can switch. Alongside it we organise a data room with the documents an investor, lender or buyer will ask for.

A common question
Why do investors pick models apart?
Because many models are top-down guesses: a market share, a growth rate and a hockey stick, with no link to how the business actually wins customers.
A driver-based model ties revenue to customers, prices and conversion, and costs to the people needed to deliver it, so every number can be explained.

The rules, in plain English
What the Law Asks of Your Books
Companies Act, 2013
Section 128
Every company keeps books of account that give a true and fair view of its affairs, at its registered office or another place the Board decides, and preserves them for at least the eight financial years before the current one.

Rule 3
Books kept electronically must stay accessible in India at all times, with a daily back-up on servers physically in India. For financial years starting on or after 1 April 2023, the accounting software must keep an audit trail of every change that cannot be switched off.
Official source: mca.gov.inCGST Act, 2017

Books and tax audit
Businesses and professions above the prescribed limits must keep books of account, and a tax audit follows above further limits. The limits change from time to time, so we confirm which apply to you before the year starts.

Questions we get asked
Financial Model and Data Room: Questions, Answered
What is a three-statement model?
A model in which the profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow statement are linked, so a change in one assumption flows through all three and the balance sheet balances.
Will we be able to update the model ourselves?
Yes. We build it to be used, walk you through it and document how to update it; we can also maintain it monthly.
Do you build SaaS or marketplace models?
Yes. The structure follows your business model, with the metrics that matter for it.
What goes in the data room?
Company and shareholding documents, financial statements and MIS, tax and compliance filings, key contracts, IP and employee records.
