Shahzad & Associates

Navigating taxes, compliance, and financial reporting on your own can feel overwhelming — especially when the rules keep changing and the deadlines keep piling up. That is where having a dependable chartered accountant makes all the difference. Shahzad & Associates, located in Anisabad, Patna, has been built around exactly that idea: giving individuals and businesses access to professional, clear, and timely financial services without the unnecessary complexity that so often surrounds them. The firm is founded and led by CA Shahzad Aftab, who qualified as a Chartered Accountant in December 2021 after completing his training with The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. His educational background in auditing and accounting, combined with a focused practice spanning taxation, GST, audit, and compliance, positions him as a well-rounded professional capable of handling a broad range of financial needs. What stands out about his approach — as noted by clients and peers alike — is the combination of technical precision and genuine approachability. He takes the time to explain things clearly, and that matters enormously to clients who may not have a financial background themselves. The office is situated on the first floor of Manama Plaza, opposite Khoja Imli Mazar, in Haroon Nagar, Anisabad, Patna. This location places the firm within easy reach of clients from Phulwari, Rajendra Nagar, Kankarbagh, and surrounding localities in south and central Patna. The firm is open six days a week, from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Monday through Saturday, with Sunday reserved as a rest day. The extended evening hours are a thoughtful touch — they make it genuinely convenient for salaried individuals and working professionals to visit after their regular office hours. In terms of services, Shahzad & Associates covers the essentials that most individuals and small to mid-sized businesses need. GST registration and return filing sit at the core of the practice, which is unsurprising given how central GST compliance has become for businesses of virtually every size and type. Income tax return filing is another mainstay, handled with the attention to detail that ensures clients do not leave money on the table or walk into avoidable penalties. TDS compliance, ROC filings, and company law-related matters are also handled by the firm, making it a useful one-stop destination for businesses that need to stay on top of their regulatory obligations throughout the year. For entrepreneurs and startups, the firm's project report preparation service is particularly valuable — a well-structured project report is often a prerequisite for bank financing, and having a CA who understands both the financial and practical dimensions of a business helps ensure that these reports genuinely reflect the viability of the project. Accounting and bookkeeping support rounds out the offering, giving smaller businesses the option to outsource their day-to-day financial records to a qualified professional rather than trying to manage it internally without the right expertise. Financial consultancy is also available for those who need broader guidance on how to structure their finances, plan for growth, or address specific business challenges. One aspect of Shahzad & Associates that is worth highlighting is its availability for online support. For clients who cannot always visit in person — whether they are based in other parts of Bihar or need assistance remotely — the firm offers online CA services, making professional financial guidance accessible regardless of location. This flexibility is increasingly important in a world where time and mobility are constraints for many people. Client feedback about the firm reflects a genuinely positive experience across the board. Reviewers consistently highlight the professionalism, clarity of communication, and reliability of the service. Several clients mention that CA Shahzad explains complex tax and compliance matters in a way that is easy to understand — a quality that is often more valuable than people realise until they have experienced the alternative. Fellow professionals in the field have also noted the firm's strong ethical standards and commitment to quality, which speaks well of its standing within the CA community. For anyone in Patna — or anywhere in Bihar — looking for a chartered accountant who is qualified, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping clients stay compliant and financially organised, Shahzad & Associates is well worth a visit or a call. You can reach the firm at 8987009788 or by email at [email protected]. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, and online consultations can also be arranged.
