M/S. Raju & Srinivas, Chartered Accountants

Our firm is based out of Vasavi Colony in Saroornagar. We’re at Plot Number 90, which is a fairly easy spot to find if you’re familiar with the area. It’s a residential neighborhood, so it stays a bit calmer than the busy markets. Raju and I have been working together as chartered accountants for quite a long time now. We set up this place because we wanted to be closer to where people live. The office isn't very large, but we have enough room for our computers and a small seating area for visitors. We handle a lot of the routine stuff that businesses need, like GST filings and year-end audits. There’s always a lot of paperwork involved, so we spend a lot of our time sorting through bills and bank statements. Sometimes we stay late when the tax deadlines are approaching, but that’s just how this job is. We don't have any fancy signs or big posters outside. Just a small board so people know they’re in the right place. Most of our clients are from Saroornagar or nearby parts of Hyderabad. We’ve seen the colony grow over the years while we’ve been sitting here doing the accounts. It’s a steady kind of life. We enjoy the work and the people we meet. There’s no big secret to how we run things; we just do the math and file the forms.
