CA Ankit Garg
Welcome to my professional corner!
I am a Chartered Accountant, having qualified in 2016. My career journey began with a Big 4 consultancy firm, where I gained invaluable experience and insights into the world of finance and accounting. This foundational experience paved the way for my subsequent role as a Financial Controller for industry-leading companies based in the US and Canada.
In my role as a Financial Controller, I was responsible for overseeing financial operations, ensuring compliance, and driving financial strategy. This international exposure enriched my understanding of global financial practices and equipped me with a diverse skill set.
Today, I am proud to offer my expertise through my own practice, where I cater to the financial needs of India-based clients. My services encompass a wide range of offerings including:
- AUDIT AND ASSURANCE
- INCOME TAX: ASSESSMENT, TAX PLANNING AND FILINGS
- GST: ASSESSMENT, REGISTRATIONS AND FILINGS
- ACCOUNTING: US GAAP, IFRS, IND-AS
- FINANCIAL MODELLING
- DUE DILIGIENCE
With a commitment to excellence and a client-centric approach, I strive to provide comprehensive financial solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. My practice is built on a foundation of integrity, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the evolving financial landscape.
I invite you to explore the services I offer and look forward to assisting you with your financial needs.
