About CA Friend
Compliance for Indian SMEs that actually scales.
CA Friend exists because the compliance pain that large enterprises solve with 10-person teams and ₹50 lakh annual consultant spend should not require an SME to choose between losing enterprise contracts and hiring a Compliance Officer they cannot afford.
Make continuous audit-readiness the default
We replace once-a-year audit panic with a workspace that stays audit-ready every day. AI handles the draft work; your Compliance Manager reviews and approves. The result: ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDP readiness without burning out a small team.
The Operational Governance OS for Indian SMEs
The way Tally became the financial backbone of millions of Indian businesses, we want CA Friend to be the compliance, risk and governance backbone — for IT services SMEs first, and the broader Indian SME ecosystem next.
What guides us
Our values
Compliance-grade by default
Audit logs are immutable. Acknowledgements are hash-chained. Tenant data isolation goes through 3 enforcement layers. We hold ourselves to the standards we ask our customers to meet.
AI as drafting partner — not decision-maker
Our AI generates first drafts of policies and questionnaire answers, with citations, in minutes. Compliance Managers review and approve. The human stays in the loop, always.
Built for Indian SMEs first
Indian INR pricing, Mumbai data residency, DPDP Act 2023 native, GST invoicing, BCP / RBI / SEBI on the roadmap. Not a US-first product translated to INR.
How we work
Building with intention
Every product decision is guided by these principles — whether we are designing the next module or curating the next framework template.
Practitioner-curated
Every policy template and control mapping is reviewed by working Indian compliance practitioners — not just engineers translating textbooks.
Continuous, not annual
We replace the once-a-year consultant scramble with a workspace that stays audit-ready every day of the year.
Honest about what AI cannot do
AI can draft a policy in 30 seconds. It cannot interpret your business context, sign off on risk acceptance, or face an auditor. CA Friend is honest about this boundary.
