Virtual CFO + Finance Automation
Virtual CFO + Finance Automation: An In-House Finance Function, Installed and Run for You
Take your business to the next generation: an automated business built on a solid finance pillar.
A Virtual CFO with finance automation is an outsourced CFO who not only advises but installs and runs your finance function: an AI-ERP backbone, governed automation for payments, TDS, payables, receivables and payroll, and a live MIS dashboard, all orchestrated by a practising Chartered Accountant. You get in-house-CFO control, efficiency and insight without the full-time cost.
Not part-time advice. We embed an AI-enabled finance operating system into your business and run it: the AI-ERP backbone, governed automation modules, and a live analytics layer, all orchestrated by a practising Chartered Accountant. Complex mandates are delivered with the AI-ERP and Business Analytics practice at Infodit Consulting, so fractional CFO judgement, ERP implementation and outsourced CFO delivery sit in one engagement.
The model: one finance operating system, three layers
Top layer
Virtual CFO
Configures, interprets, decides, and sits in your leadership meetings.
Intelligence layer
Business Analytics
Real-time MIS and dashboards, 13-week cash forecasting, unit economics and anomaly detection. Analyse any data.
Automation modules
Governed workflows, controls built in

System layer
AI-ERP backbone
One source of truth: automated transaction capture, ledgers and reconciliations.
Live now: the Payment Hub
The Payments + TDS module is already live. It is a maker-checker payment-approval workflow that applies the correct TDS section and rate at source, producing payment-ready records with a full audit trail.
Fine print: it tracks approvals and produces records, it does not move money.

| Receivables | Automated dunning plus a live DSO dashboard | Cash collected faster |
| Inventory | Stock and working-capital analytics | Cash freed from the shelf |
| MIS / board reporting | Live dashboards, not month-old spreadsheets | Decisions on real numbers |
| Compliance | Automated calendar across TDS, GST and ROC | No missed filings, no penalties |
| Strategy & fundraise | Analytics plus CFO judgement | An investor-ready data room |
