Where the pressure is
Select the pressure point that matches your firm. Each service line is delivered under your supervision, in your systems, to your templates.
Workpaper preparation, tie-outs, schedules, testing support, and review-note resolution under your supervision.
Why Shah Teelani
Capacity pressure becomes reliable support. Hiring delays become flexible delivery. Uncontrolled outsourcing becomes defined accountability.
Every deliverable has a named preparer, a named reviewer, and a named point of contact. Nothing is prepared by an anonymous pool.
Referencing, tick-marks, evidence of procedure, and a conclusion that answers the assertion — checked before the file leaves the delivery centre.
Secure VDI, MFA, least-privilege access per named individual, restricted download and printing, and removal on close.
A pilot is evaluated against written criteria before volume increases. Growth is a choice you make, not a default that happens.
The controlled pilot
A limited-scope engagement with written success criteria — turnaround, documentation standard, and acceptable review-note volume. At the end you have evidence, not an impression. If it does not meet the criteria, the pilot ends there.
Delivery and review structure
Five defined roles sit between your request and your deliverable. Select any stage to see what it owns.
Owns the commercial relationship and the CPA firm's single point of contact.
Scope, cadence, escalation path, scaling decisions. Present before, during, and after the pilot.
The seven-step process
Identify the service line, volume, timing, bottlenecks, and required experience level. No proposal is issued before this conversation.
What you receive
Relationship leadership
Primary contact for U.S. CPA firm partnerships
Verification note. Title, credentials, professional background, and the contact address to publish are being confirmed with Priya Vasu before this profile goes live. No authentic photograph has been supplied. This profile deliberately shows no portrait rather than an artificial one.
A CPA firm should know exactly who to call — before the engagement, during the pilot, and a year in. That role does not rotate.
Contact-form submissions route internally to the relationship lead. No personal email address is published on this site without written authorisation.
Security, independence and quality
Secure VDI, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, approved devices, restricted download and printing, background checks, individual confidentiality agreements, recurring security training, incident response, and access removal on close.
What we do not claim
These are not claimed anywhere on this site because supporting documentation has not been verified:
A downloadable security and due-diligence overview will be published here once the firm approves its contents.
Engagement models
Scope, volume, experience level, turnaround, and review needs determine the shape of the team and the commercial terms. Rates are quoted after discovery, not published here.
Prove the workflow before you commit to it.
A limited-scope engagement used to evaluate workflow fit, communication, documentation quality, and turnaround. Success criteria are written down before work begins, and the pilot is formally evaluated before anything scales.
Typical fit: Firms outsourcing for the first time, or replacing a provider that did not work out.
A defined team for a defined peak.
A named group supporting tax or audit demand during peak periods. The pod is trained ahead of the season, ramps on an agreed schedule, and stands down on an agreed date.
Typical fit: January–April tax production, or a concentrated audit calendar.
The same people, every engagement.
Recurring professionals trained in your systems, templates, and review standards. Continuity is the point: the team learns your review preferences and the volume of review notes falls over time.
Typical fit: Firms with steady year-round audit, tax, or CAS volume.
Specialists for a bounded problem.
Specialists assigned to a defined accounting, reporting, controls, valuation, or research project, with a scoped deliverable and a named technical reviewer.
Typical fit: A restatement, a controls build-out, an IFRS conversion, or a research memo.
Capacity-model recommender
Suggested starting point
Answer the three questions and this will suggest which engagement model is the sensible place to begin.
Technology and software
Named products appear here only once current team training and licensing are confirmed. Everything else is stated as what it is.
| Capability | Status |
|---|---|
| Audit documentation platforms | Named products pending verification |
| Tax preparation software | Named products pending verification |
| General ledger and cloud accounting platforms | Named products pending verification |
| Secure VDI environment | In use |
| Multi-factor authentication | In use |
| BI and reporting dashboards | In use |
| Automated financial close tooling | In use |
| Client secure file transfer | Agreed at workflow mapping |
Specific product names are published only after Shah Teelani confirms current team training and licensing. Until then, software fit is confirmed directly during capacity discovery.
Global organisation
A CPA firm cannot evaluate a delivery partner it cannot identify. This is the structure as it stands, including what remains open.
Chartered Accountant firm, India
Established practice serving clients since 2012, with 60+ team members including 10 partners across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Surat, and other offices. This is the practice behind the delivery teams.
U.S. entity
The U.S.-facing entity, with a stated mailing address in Manhattan, New York. The precise contracting role of this entity for CPA-firm engagements is being confirmed and will be stated plainly here once documented.
Registered firm
PCAOB registration applies to the registered accounting firm, not to individual professionals. The exact registered legal entity associated with Registration No. 7161 must be verified against the PCAOB Registered Firms directory before this page is published. No individual on this site is described as a PCAOB-registered CPA.
Delivered to CPA firms
Audit and assurance support, tax support, CAS and accounting delivery, and technical accounting and advisory — always under the U.S. firm's supervision and review.
Provided directly to businesses
Valuation, virtual CFO, incorporation, restructuring, and cross-border services are offered to direct clients through a separate practice area. They are never combined with an audit engagement for the same entity without independence review, and prohibited non-audit services are not provided to audit clients.
Open before publication
These items are unresolved across the firm's current web properties. Rather than repeat unverified claims, they are listed here and will be corrected before this site goes live.
Insights for CPA firms
Audit
A complete and final set of audit documentation must be assembled no later than 45 days after the report release date, and the documentation may not be deleted after that. Where offshore support prepares workpapers, the assembly clock is a scheduling constraint, not an afterthought.
Applicable standard: PCAOB AS 1215
Quality
QC 1000 requires a risk-based quality control system with identified roles and accountability. If part of the engagement is performed outside the firm, the system has to describe how that work is supervised and evaluated.
Applicable standard: PCAOB QC 1000
Audit
Referencing, tick-mark legends, evidence of the procedure performed, and a conclusion that answers the assertion. Most review notes on outsourced workpapers trace back to one of those four.
Applicable standard: PCAOB AS 1215 / AU-C 230
Next step
Tell us the service line, the volume, and the weeks that hurt. We will come back with a scoped pilot, a named team, and the criteria we should be judged against.
