Finance and Tax Advisory · Bangalore & Singapore
TaxWise is a finance and tax advisory firm headquartered in Bangalore, with offices in Chennai and Singapore. Founders, family offices and companies retain us for end-to-end finance, tax and fundraising advisory, for cross-border structuring between India and Singapore, and for compliance that holds up under examination.
Services
The three practices are not alternatives. Each contains the one beneath it in full, so you engage at the level you need — and when the requirement grows, nothing is explained twice.
The recurring obligations every business carries — books, returns and financial statements, run to a calendar rather than against a deadline.

Cross-border
Most of our clients are not choosing between India and Singapore. They are operating in both. With directors and offices in each market, the structuring, the tax treatment and the ongoing compliance are handled by one team rather than handed across a border.
IndiaSingapore
SingaporeIndia
The office covers the full corporate and personal cycle for companies and individuals based in, or moving into, Singapore — not a slice of it handed back to India.
Why TaxWise
Thoroughness is easily claimed and rarely evidenced. These are the ones we hold ourselves to, and the numbers that stand behind them.
partner leads every engagement
Every engagement is led by a partner, from the first conversation to the final filing. No part of it is delegated to an associate you have not met.
sectors in active practice
From SaaS ESOPs to joint development agreements, we have met the questions your sector raises before — and know which positions withstand assessment.
deadlines missed since 2015
Statutory dates sit on our calendar, with reminders that begin weeks in advance. In ten years of practice, not one return has been filed late.
response, on working days
Questions are answered the same or the next working day. Where a matter requires longer, you are told when to expect an answer rather than left to follow up.
Approach
No engagement begins with paperwork. It begins with understanding what you intend to do, and what the law permits you to do about it.
01
We begin with your position: what you own, what you owe, and what you intend to do next.
02
We review filings, books and structure to identify both exposure and opportunity, and tell you which requires attention first.
03
You receive a written plan setting out each option, with its tax and compliance consequences quantified in rupees.
04
We file, register and represent you before the authorities. Deadlines sit on our calendar, not yours.
05
Quarterly reviews keep the plan current as the law changes and the business grows.
Calendar
None of this is confidential, and all of it is easily missed. This is the calendar we run for every client, published in full and available to download — a practice that keeps its deadlines has no reason to keep them private.

Clients
They found a restructuring option our previous auditor never raised. It changed what we owed that year, and every year since.
Three entities, two states, one GST mess. It took them a quarter to clean up and it has stayed clean for four years.
Our diligence pack was ready before the term sheet arrived. The round closed without a single accounting query.
The firm
TaxWise is a partnership rather than a practice built around a single name. Four partners carry the work between them, and more than five hundred individuals and businesses have been advised over the past decade.
The practice is deliberately small. The partner you meet is the partner who does the work, so you are never required to explain your own business to someone new.
The work is unglamorous and exact: a return that withstands scrutiny, a set of books that closes on time, a structure that still makes sense three years from now. That is what we are for.
For a direct conversation, the office line is +91 97405 40239.
The team
The person you meet is the person on your file. These are the directors and specialists who run the practice across Bengaluru, Chennai and Singapore — their qualifications, and the areas each one handles.
