About
Hello, I am Kavya
I qualified as a chartered accountant in 2012 and spent seven years in a large firm's tax practice before starting my own in Kochi. Today I work with about a hundred individuals and small businesses, most of whom I have known for years.
I keep my practice small on purpose, so you always speak to me and not to a queue.

Questions
Before you write
How are fees decided?
They depend on the work involved. I share the scope and the fee in a written engagement letter before we begin.
Can you help if I live outside India?
Yes. Most of my NRI clients never visit the office. We talk on video and share documents securely.
Which documents should I keep ready?
Your PAN, Form 16 or income details, bank statements and any tax notices. I will send a short checklist after our first call.
Do you work with companies?
Yes, with small private companies and LLPs. For company law filings I work alongside a practising company secretary.
