A team of Certified Accountants, CPAs and Enrolled Agents in Mumbai and New York, led by Minal Bihani, Certified Accountant. You get one named accountant who knows your file, and every deliverable passes a three-tier review before it reaches you.

New York for the client side, Mumbai for the work. The Mumbai team works New York hours, so questions sent late in your day are answered before the next one starts.

QuickBooks Online and Xero, in your own file with your bank feeds. A2X or Link My Books for marketplace sellers, Gusto for payroll where needed. If you have no file yet, we set one up on the plan you choose.

Feeds pull in on the 1st, one batched message of questions around the 3rd, reconciled statements by the tenth business day, reminders for estimates and state dates mid-month, and filings in deadline week after three reviews.

Usually we fix from the last clean month rather than start a new file, so history and tax returns still reconcile. A catch-up project is quoted as one number after we see the volume.
