Why Abhinav
US-India Cross-border Tax Strategy work is a narrow, high-stakes field. The quality of advice depends almost entirely on how deeply the advisor understands the intersection of both legal systems — and how much dedicated time they have spent thinking through the specific situation in front of them. Some of the reasons to choose me as your strategic adviser are as follows:
- Independence: I am a fully Independent consultant & don’t have any financial or referral based tie-ups/arrangements with any bank, insurance companies, wealth managers, any tax preparation or entity incorporation firms, etc. If you are an HNWI, given the amount of mis-selling going around, this itself can be your reason to hire me – to have someone completely independent have a look at your strategies and give you conflict free & unbiased advice.
- Exclusive & Advisory-Only Focus on US-India Cross-Border Tax: I am one of the very few advisors who practice exclusively in advisory-only capacity in the US-India cross border space. I don’t do any other work like entity incorporation, tax return filing, accounting, GST, audits, representation, valuations, etc. This focus allows me to use my limited time to research on the complex issues faced by such Clients. As a Client, this also benefits you that instead of talking to two separate professionals in US & India, you speak to one person who holistically reviews your situation from both a US & India perspective & suggest a strategy which is compliant with both country’s systems.
- Solo Professional: Given the complexity and high stakes involved in US-India cross border space, I work solo by choice. Every case, right from your first email interaction & introduction call with me to the research, drafting of the review notes, video call etc. is handled by me directly & not by any team members, junior associates or interns. As a Client, this ensures utmost privacy & bespoke attention to your case & means that the person you are speaking with on the call explaining the review findings to you is the same person who’s done the end-to-end deep work on your case.
- Review Mindset: The US-India Cross-Border strategy offered by most tax return filing firms is mostly shallow & used as a “loss leader” with the ultimate objective to gain multi-year US & India tax return filing work. In contrast, I charge specifically & only for a strategy review wherein I spend hours reviewing your case from a strategic mindset & this is what makes a significant difference in the outcome in terms of the precision & depth of the review findings & suggestions.
What Clients Have Said
“The consulting session with Abhinav was excellent, relevant and extremely insightful. What truly stood out was the personalized approach. Abhinav took the time to understand my financial situation, goals and challenges, ensuring that the advice provided was relevant and actionable. His guidance around US tax laws and how they would align with Indian tax laws for OCI holders was very useful in ensuring I took the right steps from the start. I would highly recommend at least an introductory session with Abhinav for every OCI holder planning to return to India or for all India tax related questions. Overall, my consulting session exceeded all expectations.”

“The session with Abhinav was super useful and insightful. Abhinav came to the call prepared and not only answered all my questions but also had additional points I should be considering. My situation had questions on US treatment of PFIC and implications on Indian assets. Abhinav is a subject matter expert and is friendly as well. I would be going to him in future in case I need help with tax related situations.”
