C&R‘s philosophy is to develop an engagement model that is most comfortable to our customers. Since we cater to a variety of customers , we offer 3 different engagement models that are dependent on CPA/CA Firms’ business models, nature of projects, size and regularity. Different models provide varying degree of flexibility, scalability, cost advantage, longevity and integration. Our models also provide you an option to extend and expand the engagement progressively.
