Section 01
Harish Kara & Associates is a chartered accountancy firm headquartered in Hyderabad, with a practice spanning audit, taxation and advisory work for clients across India. Founded in 2007, the firm has grown into a medium-sized practice — the principal, qualified CA associates and article assistants — large enough to handle complex engagements with depth, and structured to keep a senior in the room throughout.
Our preference is to do considered work well. Whoever first sits with a client is the one who stays with them.

Financial advisory, business planning, incorporation, project finance and ongoing regulatory work for companies finding their footing or planning their next step.
Section 02·5

Section 03
Engagements are led by the principal or a qualified CA associate from the first conversation. Junior staff support; they do not represent the firm.
One point of contact. One signature on the report.
We accept work we can do well. Where deadlines compress, we ask early; we do not deliver work we are not prepared to defend.
Quality over volume.
Client information is handled with the confidentiality the work requires. We do not publish client names, case studies or referenced engagements.
No client lists. No name-dropping.
Most of our clients have been with the firm for more than five years. Annual audits, generational handovers, the second business — we are built for continuity.
98% client retention.
Section 04
We begin with a confidential conversation. Before we propose anything we want to understand the business, its constraints and what success looks like to you.
A clear written engagement letter setting out what is and is not included, who will work on it, expected timeline, and what we will need from your team.
Senior-led delivery against the agreed scope, with quiet checkpoints along the way. We surface issues early; we do not save them for the final meeting.
Most engagements lead to an annual relationship. We remain available between filings — questions, second opinions, the occasional difficult conversation.
Section 05
We work with companies across manufacturing, trading, real estate, technology and the regulated professions, alongside the family-owned enterprises that have stayed with us across generations.
We are members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and hold a Peer Reviewer certification, the recognised mark of quality for assurance practices in the profession.
