Fee-only · No commissions · Hyderabad

Money, made meaningful

Two partners, one promise: work you pay for directly, so it only ever serves you. A tax & compliance practice you can use today — and fee-only financial planning that opens once we are registered with SEBI.

Fee-only — we earn nothing from productsYou stay in control of your moneyPlain English, no jargon

Why fee-only

When the work is the product, the work gets better.

Most "free" financial advice in India is paid for by commissions on the products you are sold. We are built the other way round: you pay us a transparent fee, and nobody else pays us anything — for tax work today, and for planning once we are registered.

  • No commissions, no distribution income, no referral fees.
  • Every filing and every figure backed by a document.
  • Fixed fees, quoted in writing before we start.
  • A partner who picks up the phone.

In one line

You are the only one who pays us.

That is the whole incentive. Fee details are shared on the intro call — book one.

How it works

From first call to work you can rely on.

01

Intro call

20 minutes, free. We listen, explain how we work and answer your questions. No pitch.

02

Scope & fee

A clear piece of work and a fixed fee, in writing, before anything starts.

03

The work

We prepare; you see every number and approve before anything is filed.

04

Ongoing

Due dates tracked, tax season handled, and a partner to call when life changes.

The partners

Two people, two specialisms, one firm.

More about us

Common questions

Straight answers.

What does "fee-only" mean?
We are paid only by you. We do not earn commissions, distribution income or referral fees from mutual funds, insurance or any other product. That removes the incentive to sell you anything.
Are you registered with SEBI?
Not yet. We intend to apply for registration as a SEBI Investment Adviser. Until it is granted, we offer tax and compliance services and financial education only — no investment advice. This site will show the registration number once issued.
Do you manage my money or trade on my behalf?
No. You keep your own bank, demat and mutual fund accounts and execute every transaction yourself. We advise; you act. We never hold your money, your logins or a power of attorney.
Who do you work with?
Anyone who wants a clear financial plan or clean tax compliance — salaried professionals, business owners, families, retirees and NRIs. There is no minimum portfolio size.
How do you charge?
Clear per-service fees for tax and compliance work, quoted in writing before we start. Planning, when it opens, will carry a single transparent advisory fee. We share exact numbers on the intro call.
Where are you based?
Hyderabad, Telangana. We work with clients across India and NRIs over video calls, and meet in person in Hyderabad.
