Ramesh Patel

Chartered Accountant | GST, Income Tax & Business Advisory for SMEs | Ahmedabad

Practicing Chartered Accountant in Ahmedabad with 15 years of experience in GST compliance, tax planning, and business advisory for SMEs.

About

I am CA Ramesh Patel, a practising Chartered Accountant in Ahmedabad with 15 years of experience in GST, income tax and business advisory. I run R. Patel & Associates, a practice built around small and mid-sized businesses, professionals and startups.

Most of my clients are owners who would rather run their business than track due dates. My job is to keep their books, returns and filings accurate and on time, and to tell them clearly — before the year ends, not after — what they can do to save tax within the law.

What I help with

GST — registration, monthly and quarterly returns, reconciliation, refunds and notice replies
Income tax — tax planning, return filing, TDS, advance tax and assessments
Audit — tax audit, statutory audit and internal audit
Business setup and advisory — company and LLP registration, ROC compliance, project reports and loan documentation

How I work

Fixed fees quoted in writing, a single compliance calendar for your business, and plain-language answers. You deal with me directly, not a rotating team.
