Extra preparers for the 2027 busy season, working in your software. Your first 20 hours are free.
Tax Brew is a CA-led team in New Delhi. We prepare 1040, 1120, 1120-S and 1065 workpapers overnight and keep your clients’ books closed every month. Your team reviews and signs, and the client relationship stays with you.
Sound familiar?
- The senior preparer or bookkeeper role has been open for months.
- From January to April, partners do prep at night and review on weekends.
- Bookkeeping clients’ books are behind, so returns can’t start on time.
- Cleanup and catch-up jobs sit in the queue because nobody has the hours.
- You’d like to take on more clients but can’t add another full-time hire.
Who you’ll work with
- Keshav Bansal, CA, founder. Ex-Genpact (record-to-report). QuickBooks Online Level 1 & 2 and Intuit Bookkeeping certified.
- A team of 23 in New Delhi: 3 ICAI Chartered Accountants and 20 associates.
- A CA reviews work before it comes back to you.
- 15+ startups served so far.
15-minute call + mutual NDA
We agree scope, software access and how data will be handled. We sign a mutual NDA before any client data is shared.
Your first 20 hours, free
Pick one or two real files: a few prior-year returns, a QBO cleanup or a month-end close. A named CA leads the trial.
We prepare, you review
We work in your software, on your checklists and review notes. Work sent at the end of your day is back the next morning.
Debrief, then decide
We show you the hours used and the issues we found, and quote for an ongoing setup. There’s no obligation to continue.
Busy-season return preparation
- Workpapers and return preparation for 1040, 1120, 1120-S and 1065
- Prepared in your tax software: Drake, Lacerte, UltraTax, CCH or ProConnect
- Overnight turnaround, using the time difference with India
- Your firm reviews, signs and files. We never sign or file returns ourselves.
Books ready before returns start
- Monthly bookkeeping and bank/credit-card reconciliations in QuickBooks Online or Xero
- Month-end close and monthly financials, ready for your review
- Cleanup and catch-up work for files that are months (or years) behind
- White-label: we work under your firm’s name, and your clients deal with you
How do you handle client data?
We sign a mutual NDA before any client data is shared, and we work inside your own software rather than holding copies of client files.
Who signs the returns?
You do. We prepare the workpapers and returns in your software. Your firm reviews, signs and files, and stays the preparer of record with the client.
How do the 20 free hours work?
After a 15-minute call and a mutual NDA, you choose one or two real files. We work up to 20 hours on them at no cost, then show you the hours used and what an ongoing setup would cost. There’s no obligation to continue.
What about IRC §7216 and client data?
We know offshore preparation generally needs written taxpayer consent under IRC §7216, and we’ll follow your firm’s consent process. We work inside your systems rather than holding client files. (This isn’t legal advice; your firm decides its own consent process.)
What turnaround can we expect during busy season?
Overnight for most returns and workpapers. New Delhi is 9.5–10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern time, so work you send at the end of your day is back the next morning. We’ll agree volumes and cut-off times with you before January.
What does it cost?
Fixed quote after a short call. The first 20 hours are free, so you see the quality before you pay anything.

MTD quarterly updates, Self Assessment and bookkeeping, prepared in your software. Your first 20 hours are free.
Tax Brew is a CA-led team in New Delhi. We prepare MTD for Income Tax quarterly updates, Self Assessment returns and the bookkeeping behind them, in your own software. You review and submit, and the client stays yours.
Sound familiar?
- MTD for Income Tax started in April 2026 for sole traders and landlords over £50k, and quarterly updates have added four extra deadlines per client.
- From April 2027 the threshold drops to £30k, adding many more clients to MTD.
- The run-up to the 31 January Self Assessment deadline is already full, and records arrive late.
- Your bookkeeper vacancy is still open, and fee rises don’t cover the extra hours.
Who you’ll work with
- Keshav Bansal, CA, founder. Ex-Genpact (record-to-report). QuickBooks Online Level 1 & 2 and Intuit Bookkeeping certified.
- A team of 23 in New Delhi: 3 ICAI Chartered Accountants and 20 associates.
- A CA reviews work before it comes back to you.
- 15+ startups served so far.
15-minute call + mutual NDA
We agree scope and access, and sign a mutual NDA before any data is shared. A UK GDPR data processing agreement is available on request.
Your first 20 hours, free
Pick a handful of real clients: a set of quarterly updates, a few SA returns or a bookkeeping catch-up. A named CA leads the trial.
We prepare, you review and submit
We work in your software, to your checklists. You stay the agent with HMRC and file everything yourself.
Debrief, then decide
We show you the hours used, any issues and a quote for ongoing work. There’s no obligation to continue.
Quarterly updates and SA returns
- Quarterly update preparation for sole traders and landlords in MTD (mandatory over £50k from April 2026, over £30k from April 2027)
- Self Assessment return preparation, ready for your review well before 31 January
- Prepared in your software: IRIS, TaxCalc or BTCSoftware (plus Xero/QBO for the records)
- You review, approve and submit. We never act as agent with HMRC.
Records that are MTD-ready
- Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations in Xero or QuickBooks Online
- Month-end close and management accounts, ready for review
- Cleanup and catch-up for clients who are behind, including getting records MTD-ready
How do you handle client data?
We sign a mutual NDA before any data is shared and work inside your own software. A UK GDPR data processing agreement is available on request.
Who submits to HMRC?
You do. We prepare the quarterly updates and SA returns in your software. You review, approve and submit as the client’s agent.
How do the 20 free hours work?
After a 15-minute call and a mutual NDA, you choose a few real clients. We work up to 20 hours on them at no cost, then show you the hours used and what an ongoing setup would cost. There’s no obligation to continue.
Which software do you use for MTD and Self Assessment?
Yours: IRIS, TaxCalc or BTCSoftware, with Xero or QuickBooks Online for the records. If you use something else, ask us and we’ll say honestly whether we can work in it.
What does it cost?
Fixed quote after a short call. The first 20 hours are free, so you see the quality before you pay anything.

Late books are almost as bad as wrong ones
Most bookkeeping isn’t “wrong”. It’s just always catching up. We fix that.
Doing it yourself / typical outsourcing
- Books updated once a quarter or at year-end
- Hundreds of “uncategorized” transactions
- Payouts recorded twice, so revenue and tax are overstated
- Reports generated, but nobody reviews them
- Weekends lost to spreadsheets
With Tax Brew
- Weekly reconciliations and a predictable monthly close
- Every transaction categorised and supported
- Books tied back to the bank, platform and gateway
- Chartered Accountant review before anything reaches you
- You focus on revenue. We handle the numbers.

“Every hour you spend categorising a Stripe payout is an hour you didn’t spend on revenue.”
I started Tax Brew after seeing business owners lose sleep over their finances. Today our Chartered Accountant-led team keeps books for businesses in the US and UK. The books are reconciled weekly and reviewed, not just recorded, and they’re ready whenever you or your CPA need them.

Questions, answered
Who will actually work on my books?
Your books are handled by our team in India and reviewed under the supervision of a Chartered Accountant (ICAI) before anything is delivered to you.
Which accounting software do you use?
We work mainly in QuickBooks Online (our founder holds QuickBooks Online Level 1 & 2 certifications) and also in Xero. We work inside your existing file, so you keep full ownership of your data.
How does communication work across time zones?
You get a single point of contact by email and WhatsApp, and we can schedule calls at times that suit US or UK working hours.
My books are months behind. Can you help?
Yes. Catch-up and cleanup is one of our core services. We rebuild your books from bank, platform and gateway data, then move you onto a regular monthly service.
How is pricing decided?
We quote a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume, number of bank and card accounts, and the services you need. Cleanup work is quoted separately before we start.
Do you work with accounting firms on a white-label basis?
Yes. We support CPA and accounting firms with client bookkeeping, month-end close and tax preparation support, working inside your systems and processes.
