Questions founders ask
When should a D2C brand hire a CA?
Day one for GST registration and AOC-4 filing. A monthly engagement becomes necessary as the business grows.
Should I use a CA or a CFO?
A CA, while the business is small. Later, a part-time CFO with a CA. A full-time CFO at larger scale.
Are family CAs OK for D2C?
Often not. D2C requires marketplace settlement experience, channel-level P&L, and tech-native communication. Family CAs typically don't have this skill set.
