About

Most founders don’t struggle because they lack ambition, they struggle because they don’t have financial clarity. When you’re building something meaningful, finance often feels like the part you “just figure out later.” But soon, the Tax notices pile up, investors ask for reports you can’t produce, and tax planning becomes a last-minute scramble. And that’s not your fault. Most traditional finance support is stuck in a compliance-first mindset - filing returns, ticking boxes, and offering advice only when it’s too late to act. 👋 I’m CA Nihar Setia, and I work with early-stage startups, SMEs, and business owners to build financial foundations that accelerate growth, not slow it down. I believe founders deserve more than just compliance. They deserve proactive, practical guidance, the kind that helps them raise capital, scale wisely, and sleep better at night. Here’s how I help: 👉Freeing founders from financial chaos so they can focus on growth, 👉Designing tax strategies that legally save money 👉Building investor-ready systems to make fundraising smoother 👉Acting as your part-time CFO, so you make decisions that actually move the needle With 30+ businesses and founders supported, my goal is always the same: 📊 Bring structure. Reduce noise. Create confidence. Because when your numbers are in order, everything else gets easier, Better decisions. Smarter growth. Fewer surprises.
