I'm a practising Chartered Accountant who believes a good CA earns the fee back many times over. For twelve years I've helped founders, professionals and family businesses file on time, pay only what the law requires, and finally understand their own numbers.
Fixed fees, quoted before work begins. If your situation is more complex than the schedule below, you'll know the revised fee before I start — never after.
ITR preparation and filing, advance-tax workings, capital-gains computation, a pre-March planning call.
GSTR-1/3B filings, reconciliation with books, ITC review, notices handled.
Monthly bookkeeping, payroll with TDS, and a one-page MIS you'll actually read.
Company and tax audits under the Companies Act and s.44AB, net-worth and turnover certificates.
Incorporation, annual ROC filings, board minutes, share allotments, FEMA reporting.
Assessment and scrutiny representation, appeal drafting, business-structure advice.

Arjun MehtaB.Com, FCA
I qualified in 2014 and spent three years in the tax practice of a Big-4 firm before realising the clients I wanted to serve — founders, doctors, freelancers, family businesses — were the ones large firms bill too much and call back too little.
So in 2017 I set up this practice on a simple premise: a client should never be surprised — not by a deadline, not by a demand notice, and never by my bill. Today the practice serves 340+ clients with a team of six, and I still personally review every return that goes out.
Deadlines are sacred. Zero missed statutory dates since 2017 — the streak is the product.
Planning beats filing. The best tax work happens in February, not July.
Plain English, always. If you can't explain your own numbers after our call, I've failed.

ENG/2023/008 · SaaS startup · Pre-Series A
Cap-table hygiene, ESOP scheme accounting, and investor-grade financials — the round closed with zero diligence red flags.

Three years of articleship — audits of SMEs, banks and trusts across five industries.
Arjun found ITC our previous accountant had ignored for two years. He paid for himself in the first month — and I finally understand my own P&L.
I'm a doctor; I had no idea what advance tax was. Now I get a WhatsApp two weeks before every date with the exact amount. Zero stress since.
During our funding round the investors' diligence team had no questions. Our lead said that almost never happens. That's Arjun's work.
Usually, yes — through updated returns (ITR-U) and condonation where applicable. The sooner we start, the more options exist. This is my most common new-client situation; there is no judgement, only a checklist.
About half my clients are remote — everything runs on a shared document vault, video calls and a monthly summary email. Physical presence matters only for a few audit situations.
Last two ITRs, bank statements for the current year, and any notices you've received. If you have none of these organised, bring what you have — assembling the picture is part of the job.
The fee card is fixed and published above precisely so nobody has to negotiate. What is flexible is scope — we can start smaller and grow the engagement as your business grows.
Yes. Representation is a standalone service (item 06 in the fee schedule) — you don't need to move your entire compliance to me first.
