TrustList ranking

Q4 2026 edition

74 of 137 accounting firms ranked on evidence held on 12 October 2026: client reviews, vetting, awards and facts each business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody pays to be placed.

Positions are fixed for the quarter; the next edition is due in January 2027.

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.

By TrustList Editorial

The SME ranking on this page lists 163 small and medium-sized firms, and 58 of them earned a rank number. No listed business is known to be large, so none is left out. The SME order does not reward age, so newer practices compete on evidence alone. See the SME ranking

How to choose accounting firms

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

The order is earned on evidence: client reviews, vetting, awards and the facts a business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody can pay to move up.

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.
