How this is ranked About this edition

Flagship ranking · Q4 2026 edition

This page ranks accounting firms in India, mostly chartered accountancy practices offering audit, tax, GST and company-law work. TrustList lists 163 of them, and 58 earned a rank number in the Q4 2026 edition. Among the ranked, one holds a professional accreditation and 57 state a founding date, with the 2010s (14), 1990s (12) and 1980s (11) the most common decades. Mumbai is the most frequent base (9), followed by Ahmedabad (5), Pune (4), and Jaipur, Delhi and New Delhi at three each.

Places reflect the evidence TrustList held on 5 October 2026: client reviews, vetting, awards and facts each firm states on its own website, which we read and dated. Nobody pays to be placed. A listing with nothing checkable is shown but not ranked, and positions stay fixed until the January 2027 edition. A firm can move up by adding client reviews or verified facts to its free profile.

How to choose accounting firms

1. Check ICAI membership
Chartered accountants in India belong to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Ask for the signing partner's membership number and the firm's registration number, and look them up on the Institute's public records.
2. Match the firm to the work
Statutory audit, GST, transfer pricing, company incorporation and foreign-exchange compliance are different disciplines. Ask which partner handles your type of job and whether they have acted for a business like yours.
3. Ask who tracks deadlines
Tax and company filings carry penalties for delay. Ask who owns each due date, how you are told when something is filed, and whether acknowledgements are sent to you or only kept by the firm.
4. Foreign companies: ask about set-up
If you are entering India, ask about incorporating a subsidiary, bank and tax registrations and ongoing compliance, and whether one team covers all of it or hands parts to outside advisers.
5. Keep audit and advice separate
If a firm audits your accounts, ask how it keeps independence when it also advises you. Larger engagements may need a different firm for each role.
6. Agree scope and fees in writing
Ask for an engagement letter listing what is included, whether fees are fixed or hourly, and how notices, assessments and out-of-pocket costs are charged.

How is this ranking worked out?

The order comes from what each firm publishes and what has been verified about it, and never from payment:

Profile completeness: the details a buyer needs to judge a firm — what it does, who it serves, how it prices, who it has worked for
Earned trust: verification, awards and the other checks a firm has actually passed
Client reviews, where they exist: the rating is smoothed, so one five-star review cannot outrank a firm with a hundred good ones, and volume counts with diminishing returns

Client reviews are still rare across this catalogue, so on most lists today the order is set by the first two. A firm near the top is the best-documented and best-verified one we hold, which is not the same claim as the best one to hire. Use the list to build a shortlist, then check the firms yourself.

Sponsored listings are labelled and shown apart from this list. How rankings work

Only firms whose profile names India are counted here, so a firm that lists a town but no country is not yet included.
