Who We Are

A Practice Built Over 38 Years

Three decades of experience. One constant: doing right by our clients.

We've Been Here Through It All

The story of Prasanna & Associates begins in 1988, when CA S. Haridass first set up practice in Coimbatore — years before GST, before e-filing, when ledgers were still handwritten. Through every major reform since, the practice kept evolving.

In 2016, the firm was formally established as M/s. Prasanna & Associates. By end of 2023, it became a full partnership — bringing together decades of direct tax experience with a new generation of cross-disciplinary expertise.

What hasn't changed: know the law thoroughly, understand your client's situation completely, and give them your honest best.

What Clients Say

Trusted Across Coimbatore & Beyond

From routine compliance to landmark disputes — here's what our clients say about working with us.

"

We had a GST demand of ₹6.8 lakhs that we thought we'd just have to pay. Haridass sir went through every invoice, found that the officer had misclassified three of our supplies, and got the entire demand dropped. No pre-deposit, no appeal — just a well-argued reply. I honestly didn't believe it was possible until I saw the order.

"

I'd been sitting on an NRO account with ₹40 lakhs for two years, too scared to touch it because every CA I called made it sound impossibly complicated. Prasanna sorted the 15CA/CB, applied the Singapore DTAA correctly, and had the money in my overseas account within three weeks. Should have called him two years earlier.

DS
★★★★★
Deepa Sundar
NRI Client, Singapore
"

I run a trading business and I used to spend two weeks every quarter worrying about GST returns. Since moving to Prasanna & Associates, I just get a message saying it's filed. That's it. Four years, no demand notices, no late fees. It's the most boring success story I have and I'm very happy about that.

KM

"

Before our seed funding, I didn't even know what questions to ask about our tax structure. Prasanna sat with us for two hours, mapped out how ESOP taxation works, how a holdco structure would affect us, and what to watch for as we raised capital. That clarity was worth ten times the fee — and it held up through two funding rounds.

For Fellow Professionals

Aggregation of CA Firms

In line with ICAI's framework for networking, merger, and aggregation of practice units, we're open to conversations with firms who want to build something larger together.

Let's Grow, Together

The profession is consolidating. Clients increasingly want depth across GST, direct tax, audit, international tax, and advisory — more than any single small practice can offer alone. Aggregation lets independent firms pool expertise, share infrastructure, and take on larger mandates without losing the personal relationships that make a practice worth building.

If your firm is exploring a merger, a network arrangement, or a full aggregation, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Every conversation is confidential and without obligation.

🤝
Merger & Absorption

Combine practices under one FRN, or absorb a retiring practitioner's client base with continuity of service.

🌐
Network Arrangements

Stay independent while sharing referrals, technical resources, and specialised capabilities across cities.

📈
Shared Capacity

Pool teams for peak seasons — audit, ITR, and GST annual returns — and take on mandates you'd otherwise decline.

🔒
Confidential & Collegial

Exploratory only. No commitment until both firms see a clear, mutual fit.
