Chartered Accountant & Founder | MD Prajapati & Co

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India • Full-time

Jun 2026 - Present • 5 mos

Founded my own Chartered Accountancy practice (ICAI FRN: 165309W) immediately after qualifying and receiving my Certificate of Practice in July 2026. I specialize exclusively in QuickBooks bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, cleanup and catch-up, and US GAAP-compliant financial statement preparation for US small businesses and startups. To back that specialization with independently verifiable proof, I completed Intuit's full QuickBooks Online Accountant certification stack within weeks of qualifying. This focus isn't new for me, it goes back to informally helping Gujarati NRI families with dual Indian-US income organize their financial records during my articleship years, long before I was qualified to take this on professionally. That early, unpaid exposure to US-side bookkeeping is exactly why I pursued formal certification the moment I could practice, rather than starting from a cold start. As the Founder and Chartered Accountant at MD Prajapati & Co., I deliver end-to-end financial solutions that bridge traditional accounting with cutting-edge digital transformation. I manage full-cycle bookkeeping, global taxation, and complex financial reporting across US GAAP, IFRS, and Indian accounting frameworks. My core focus includes designing robust FP&A models for budgeting, variance analysis, and cash flow forecasting to drive strategic corporate growth. Beyond standard finance, I empower businesses by deploying advanced automation, integrating Artificial Intelligence, Python, and RPA into financial workflows. By developing interactive Power BI dashboards and executive MIS reports, I help enterprises become agile, data-driven, and financially bulletproof.
