ARSK & Associates is a Chartered Accountant firm established in 1984. We work with founders, promoters, family businesses, and multinationals navigating India's complex regulatory and commercial landscape — from day-to-day compliance to high-stakes transactions and disputes.
With professionals-led teams in Kolkata and Mumbai, and qualified professionals across audit, taxation, corporate law, and advisory, we bring the breadth of a large firm with the accountability of a practice where your partner picks up the phone.
We handle direct tax, indirect tax, international tax, audit, corporate law, valuations, and transaction advisory — all under one roof. You do not need to coordinate five different advisors. We handle the full picture.
Every engagement at ARSK is led by a qualified partner, not delegated down. With partners across disciplines and offices in Kolkata and Mumbai, you get senior judgment on your matters — not junior execution with partner sign-off.
Whether supporting a growing business, a regulated financial institution, a promoter group or an international investor, we bring an integrated perspective to complex tax, regulatory and transaction matters. Our experience extends across corporate restructurings, cross-border investments, governance, dispute support and strategic transactions.
ARSK & Associates was established as a partnership firm of Chartered Accountants in 1984, with a founding commitment to delivering independent, objective, and technically sound counsel to business clients.
Four decades later, the firm's core commitments have not changed — but the practice has grown significantly in both depth and scope. Today, ARSK operates from offices in Kolkata and Mumbai, with a team of partners and a professional staff that spans Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, and advisory specialists.
We serve founders and promoters of growing companies, family businesses navigating succession and governance, CFOs of mid-market enterprises who need a reliable sounding board, and multinationals entering or operating in India. Our clients come to us because they want advisors who understand their business — not just their balance sheet.

Our practice is structured around four integrated areas of service, ensuring aligned execution across disciplines:
"An audit is only as useful as the judgment behind it. We bring technical rigour, sector context, and a genuine understanding of your business to every audit engagement — so that the output is meaningful, not just compliant."
Our audit team is led by qualified partners who bring both technical depth and commercial awareness. We do not treat audit as a commodity engagement.
"Tax disputes, international structures, and transfer pricing arrangements require advisors who are both technically current and experienced in how Indian tax authorities actually operate. We have been representing clients in assessments and appellate proceedings since 1985."
Our direct and international tax practice covers:
"GST compliance is not just about filing returns — it is about maintaining defensible positions across input credits, classification, valuation, and inter-state supply characterisation. We manage indirect tax as a continuous advisory relationship, not a one-off filing task."
Our Indirect Tax practice covers:
"Every significant transaction — an acquisition, a restructuring, a private equity round, a succession plan — involves tax, valuation, legal, and regulatory dimensions simultaneously. We coordinate across all of them, so you have one advisory relationship at the centre of your transaction rather than five disconnected ones."
Our corporate advisory practice covers:
"A growing company often needs the strategic and operational finance capability of a CFO before it can justify a full-time one. Our virtual CFO service gives you experienced financial leadership — available as and when you need it, without the permanent overhead."
Managed through our virtual CFO division, which includes qualified Company Secretaries and CAs with commercial finance experience:
"Beyond the statutory audit, a well-run business needs periodic independent review of its systems, processes, and internal controls. We deliver management and systems audits that produce actionable recommendations — not just observations."
Our management audit practice covers:
"The intersection of Indian and foreign tax law is one of the most technically demanding areas of our practice. Whether you are an NRI planning a return to India, a foreign national employed here, or an Indian business expanding abroad, the regulatory and tax implications are significant — and the cost of getting them wrong is equally significant."
Our NRI & cross-border advisory practice covers:
When you work with us, you are not just getting a CA firm — you are getting advisors who have spent years working within your industry's specific regulatory context, transaction patterns, and risk profile. Our sector experience spans:
Iron and steel, auto ancillaries, textile processing, food processing, dairy products, tea and beverages, rice and flour mills, holograms and security solutions, safety equipment, electronic goods, leather goods, industrial gases, solar energy, plastic mouldings, and horticulture. We understand the GST and customs implications, the transfer pricing issues that arise in manufacturing groups, and the working capital and lender reporting requirements that these businesses carry.
Ports, road and bridge construction, mining and transportation, shipping, and power. Infrastructure businesses face specific challenges around contract accounting, project-level compliance, and regulatory approvals. We have worked within these constraints.
Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), banking and insurance, stock broking, and merchant banking. Regulatory compliance in financial services — RBI, SEBI, IRDAI frameworks — requires specific familiarity. Our team includes professionals who handle FEMA and RBI matters regularly.
Promotion, development, and construction businesses. RERA compliance, GST on real estate transactions, and the accounting complexities of long-term projects are areas we navigate routinely.
Hotel and restaurant, software development, computer education and training, engineering colleges, hospitals, and print media. Service businesses face different compliance profiles — we understand them.
Export houses and marketing and distribution businesses. Import-export documentation, GST on trading margins, and cross-border transaction certifications are areas of regular work for us.
Experienced leadership. One firm. Your matter in senior hands.

Work with leading corporate clients, receive direct partner mentorship, and build a distinguished career in a collaborative, integrity-driven environment.
The firm was established in 1984. Our founding partners have been in practice since the mid-1980s. That continuity means we have seen Indian business through multiple regulatory regimes, economic cycles, and structural shifts — and our advice is informed by that depth.
We are a partner-led firm. The partner assigned to your engagement is accountable for the quality of the advice and the outcome of the matter. We do not operate on a model where a senior takes the brief, and a junior delivers the work without oversight.
Most CA firms specialise in one or two areas. ARSK handles statutory audit, direct and indirect tax, international taxation, corporate law, FEMA, NCLT matters, valuations, and M&A support — with named specialists for each. When your matters intersect, we manage that intersection.
We are an Indian firm, advising on Indian law, for clients operating in India. We understand the Indian regulatory personality — the practical realities of assessment proceedings, the texture of SEBI and RBI interactions, the dynamics of appellate litigation. That is not a secondary capability; it is our primary one.
Our Kolkata headquarters and Mumbai branch operate as one firm, not as franchises. Clients with interests in both cities — or with counterparties in either — get consistent advice and coordinated service across regional borders.
We will be clear about what can be achieved, candid about what cannot, and measured in assessing potential outcomes. In tax disputes, regulatory matters and commercial negotiations, our role is to provide preparation, representation and professional judgement—not promises regarding outcomes that remain outside anyone's control.
An essential guide for foreign companies setting up subsidiaries in India. We outline the key compliance steps, RBI reporting requirements, and optimal corporate structures to minimize transfer pricing exposures.
Departmental audits and scrutiny notices are rising. We break down the practical steps to respond to GST show-cause notices, defend input tax credits, and avoid penalty assessments.
Mergers, demergers, and family business transitions are complex. Learn how to align tax efficiency, business valuations, and company law compliance for a seamless restructuring.
We work with founders and promoters of growing Indian companies, family businesses managing succession or governance transitions, CFOs of mid-market enterprises, multinationals entering or operating in India, and non-resident Indians with financial and compliance obligations in India.
Most clients work with us on an ongoing retainer basis — for audit, tax compliance, or corporate law advisory. We also take on specific project engagements: a transaction requiring due diligence, a valuation assignment, a tax dispute representation, or a one-time restructuring advisory.
