Mohammed Abubackar
Founder · Strategic Compliance Advisory
Founded the firm in 2011 as A&A Associates and rebuilt it as Value First in 2020. Fifteen years of PF, ESIC and labour-law work for 300+ employers across six states, with one rule: handle it before it becomes a notice.
Three shifts, two contractors, four states, one inspector at the gate. Value First takes industrial labour law, contractor management and plant-level payroll off your desk, so your leaders can focus on output, safety and people.
Your engineers are in Bengaluru, your designer works remotely and your contractor is on a train outside Pune. Value First runs payroll accurately and keeps compliance tight, so your people can stay focused on shipping.
Festive rush, new hires, 200 stores. Staff come and go, rosters change weekly and every state has its own rules. Value First keeps retail payroll accurate and every store audit-ready, so your teams can focus on the customer.
The sale goes live at midnight and the surge hits by 12:05. Dark stores open every month and pickers join on Monday. Value First handles multi-state compliance and high-volume payroll, so your teams can focus on speed, stock and customers.
Twelve hubs, three shifts, drivers on the highway, a contractor's crew at the dock and a surge in ten days. Value First keeps multi-state compliance, trip and shift payroll and contractor management moving as fast as your network.
Multiple sites, layers of subcontractors, migrant crews and a safety audit that can land any week. Value First brings order to site-wise payroll, contractor compliance and construction labour law, so project leaders can focus on schedule, quality and safety.
Split shifts, night duty, festive hiring, service charge, outsourced teams and a licence renewal due somewhere. Value First brings accuracy to multi-property payroll and calm to hospitality compliance, so your teams can stay focused on the guest.
Pay scales, allowances, arrears, vacation cycles, outsourced staff and board requirements. Value First brings order to institutional payroll and education labour compliance, so leaders can focus on learning.
Rotational shifts around the clock, a new batch starting Monday and a client audit next month. Value First brings accuracy to high-volume payroll and order to night-shift compliance, so your leaders can stay focused on SLAs.
Billable utilisation, project incentives, client-site deployments and several entities to keep straight. Value First brings accuracy to multi-entity payroll and discretion to compliance, so your leaders can stay close to client work.
You started a business, not a compliance department. Value First works as an extension of your team, running payroll and keeping statutory compliance in order from your first hire onward, without slowing your growth.
Hundreds of workers, dozens of sites, wages due every week and an inspector who can arrive unannounced. Value First simplifies heavy labour compliance, contractor wage checks and site payroll, so your leaders can focus on delivery and safety.

It depends on your state, headcount and type of operation. Most businesses need Shops & Establishments or Factory registration, plus EPF, ESIC and Professional Tax once they cross the applicable thresholds. We map exactly what applies to you in the first consultation.
Yes. We handle registrations, monthly contributions and returns, and reconciliation for EPF, ESIC, Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund.
Yes. Rules, rates and due dates vary from state to state. We manage them centrally so every branch follows one consistent process.
Non-compliance can lead to penalties, interest on delayed contributions, prosecution in serious cases, and disruption during inspections. Staying proactive costs far less than fixing problems after a notice arrives.
Yes. We verify that your contractors and manpower vendors meet their statutory obligations — which protects you as the principal employer.
