Finding a CA: criteria, fees etc

Hey viners, I’m looking for a CA to optimize taxes and file them. How do I go about finding for someone? How to evaluate if someone is good or just a sham. Also how much do they charge you?

Hey 👋

CA here!

A couple of things I would look out for, if I were a client looking to optimise taxes & file tax return:

  1. Understanding of ESOP/RSU (crucial, if you are working in startup)

  2. Communication & Response time (usually 24 hours TAT is ok + regular updates on advance tax is great!)

  3. Ask about recent assignments of tax planning. What was the approach, what was the scenario & outcome of tax planning. This is crucial to separate wheat from the chaff.

On the pricing, it is quite subjective & can vary widely. For tax planning upwards of ₹5K & Tax filing would be between 3-8K depending on complexity.
