Agarwal & Sethi audit reports carry a single signature — but they represent the documented work of an entire team: senior associates testing samples, articled assistants verifying source documents, and the engagement partner reviewing every working paper. By the time a report leaves our office, every number has been interrogated more than once.

What our clients say · हमारे clients की राय

“We migrated to Agarwal & Sethi mid-year after a Section 143(2) notice from our previous CA was sitting in inbox for three weeks. CA Ankit personally drafted the response in 36 hours, walked us through the assessing officer hearing, and we closed at no addition. They have been our retainer firm for four years now — three audits, two fund-raise diligences, zero panic.”

“हम तीन पीढ़ियों से एक ही CA के साथ थे — पुराने तरीके, सब manual, GST के बाद backlog। Ankit ji ne 6 हफ्ते में सब साफ़ कर दिया, अब हर महीने 5th तक compliance status email आ जाती है। Family business के लिए ऐसा partner चाहिए था। Trustworthy, well-spoken, और बिल्कुल पेशेवर।”

“For our seed-round closing, the diligence room had 14 days to deliver: cap-table, employment-side filings, Sec 56(2)(viib) angel-tax cushion, ROC restoration of two missed AOC-4s. Agarwal & Sethi delivered everything by Day 9 with proper engagement letters and clean working papers. Our investors' counsel called it the cleanest small-firm package they'd seen that quarter.”

“मेरे husband की sudden मृत्यु के बाद, उनकी partnership firm की audit + ITR + estate-paper sab outstanding थे। Ankit ji ने मुझे 5 बार office बुलाया, हर बार हर line समझाई, succession के sare papers prepare किए — बिना hurry, बिना bill ki tension। ऐसे time पर एक accountant से ज़्यादा एक trusted family advisor मिला।”

“I run a small consulting practice — 8 cr-ish turnover, 11 employees. Most boutique CAs either over-bill the small clients or under-staff them. Agarwal & Sethi gave us a fixed monthly retainer with a named senior associate, plus partner review on quarterlies. No surprises, no last-minute scope creep. The CA app push notification for due dates alone is worth the fee.”

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Honest answers — no fine print, no fee-creep. If something here doesn't cover your situation, ask us directly.

How is your retainer fee structured?

+
Most engagements are quoted as a monthly retainer based on entity type, turnover band, and scope (filings only / filings + advisory / full virtual-CFO). One-time scopes — audit, ROC restoration, notice response — are quoted as a fixed fee against an engagement letter. We do not bill by the hour.

Will CA Ankit Sethi personally handle my work?

+
CA Ankit Sethi reviews and signs every engagement. Day-to-day execution is handled by senior associates and articled assistants under his supervision, with a named partner CA assigned to each retainer client. You always know who is on your file.

How do you handle confidential financial documents?

+
Every engagement begins with a signed NDA and engagement letter. Documents are exchanged through an encrypted client portal (TLS-1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest), with audit-trailed access. Physical copies stay in our locked office filing system; we never send originals over WhatsApp.

I got a tax notice — how fast can you respond?

+
Section 143(2), 142(1), and 148 notices are highest priority — we respond within 24–48 hours of you sharing the notice and underlying documents. Show-cause notices and hearing dates are calendared as a hard deadline. Late or rushed responses are the most common cause of unfavourable orders, and we do not let that happen on our watch.

Do you handle GST audits and assessments?

+
Yes — including DRC-01 / DRC-07 demand-order responses, GSTR-9C reconciliation audits, departmental assessments, and appeals at Commissioner (Appeals) and Tribunal levels. We coordinate with senior counsel where litigation is required.

Can you help us migrate from another CA mid-year?

+
Yes, this is common. We coordinate handover of working papers from your previous CA (an ICAI ethical requirement they must comply with), do a one-week diagnostic of pending compliance and any open notices, and resume monthly filings without disruption. Most migrations close within 2 weeks.

Do you do international taxation and FEMA?

+
Yes — Form 15CB (foreign-remittance certifications), DTAA analysis, transfer-pricing documentation (Form 3CEB), and FEMA / RBI advisory for ODI, FDI, and ECB transactions. For complex cross-border structures we partner with allied firms.

Will my company qualify for startup tax exemptions?

+
We review DPIIT-recognition eligibility, Sec 80-IAC tax-holiday qualification, and angel-tax (Sec 56(2)(viib)) protection during onboarding. If the founders set up before talking to a CA, we do a clean-up — most startups end up benefit-eligible after a 4–6 week paperwork pass.

How do I get started?

+
Use the consultation form above (15-minute discovery call), or WhatsApp our office at +91 98765 43210. Most prospects are onboarded within 7 working days of the discovery call.
