Professional services firm modernizing audit and tax advisory with AI and automation
STCO is a 45-year-old Indian accounting partnership (201–500 staff, 7 offices) that has shifted from traditional audit-tax consulting toward internal modernization. The tech stack—React, TypeScript, NetSuite, Docker, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK—reveals active software engineering (7 open roles). Project list signals AI-driven capability: audit workflow automation, revenue forecasting models, dashboards, and NVIDIA GPU adoption. Finance department hiring (23 roles) combined with engineering and marketing focus suggests parallel moves: scaling client delivery AND building tech products.
STCO provides audit, tax advisory, financial accounting, M&A support, and IPO services to domestic and multinational corporations. Founded in 1979 and based in Jabalpur with offices across India and the UK, the firm employs over 150 professionals, including Big 4 alumni and chartered accountants. Historically a partnership-led advisory practice, STCO is now investing in internal tooling—NetSuite for operations, custom SDLC tools, and AI-enhanced audit workflows—while expanding sales and marketing capacity. Current pain points center on compliance rigor (US GAAP), audit efficiency, data quality for modeling, and revenue growth.
STCO uses React, TypeScript, NetSuite, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and GitLab CI/CD. Recently adopting NVIDIA for GPU workloads, likely supporting AI audit and forecasting projects.
STCO is headquartered in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. The firm operates 7 offices and hires in India and the United Kingdom.
