FAQs on Virtual CFO Services in India
Who is a Virtual CFO?
A Virtual CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is an outsourced service provider who offers high-level financial strategy, planning, and management to a business, typically on a part-time or contract basis. They perform the same functions as an in-house CFO but are not a full-time employee.
How do I hire a CA for tax filing through Treelife?
You can fully outsource your tax filing and compliance to Treelife.

Whether you prefer online support or direct consultation, our dedicated professionals ensure timely and accurate tax filing tailored to your business needs.
Can you explain the difference between Form 16 and Form 16A?
Form 16 is the certificate issued by employers detailing the income tax deducted at source (TDS) on salary income, whereas Form 16A is issued for TDS deducted on payments other than salary, such as rent or professional fees. Our accounting taxation services include assistance with these forms for accurate tax filing.
