About

Built by CAs, for founders

The Finiq exists because startups deserve better than a faceless accounting shop — they deserve a finance partner who's seen how great companies are built.

Our story

We're two chartered accountants who spent the early years of our careers auditing and advising serious companies — listed corporates, global groups, and fast-moving startups. We saw the same thing again and again: the businesses that scaled cleanly were the ones that took finance seriously from day one.

We also saw how underserved early-stage founders were. Most ended up with a traditional CA who surfaced once a year, or juggled five different vendors for books, GST, payroll and compliance. So we started The Finiq: a boutique firm that acts as the finance backbone for startups — combining Big Four rigour with the responsiveness founders actually need.

Today we help founders across India keep clean books, stay compliant, and walk into investor conversations with reporting that holds up under scrutiny.

Our mission

To be the finance backbone for startups — so founders can focus on building, knowing their books, compliance and reporting are in expert hands.
