What SUNDARAM & SRINIVASAN does

Sundaram & Srinivasan is an India-based chartered accountancy partnership firm headquartered in Chennai, founded on 1 April 1943 by Shri T.C. Menakshi Sundaram and Shri K.V. Srinivasan. The firm offers six core service lines: Audit & Assurance (statutory audits, limited reviews, IT/IS audits, process and management audits), Taxation (direct, indirect, litigation support, transfer pricing), Risk Advisory Services (IFCoFR, internal audit, SOP and RCM implementation), Consulting & Advisory (transaction advisory, valuation, forensic and fraud investigations, due diligence, M&A support), Outsourcing Engagements (accounting, virtual CFO, payroll, MIS, audit closure support), and Specialized Services (Ind AS implementation, fixed asset and inventory verification, compliance reviews).

The firm delivers these services primarily to enterprise clients in the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, large manufacturing and industrial companies, and government and public sector undertakings, with additional exposure to technology, automotive, entertainment, and pharmaceutical segments. Underlying technology consists of licensed audit analytics platforms (CaseWare IDEA 12.2) and open-source Python tooling applied to loan portfolio analysis, probability-of-default and loss-given-default calculations, and IFCoFR testing.

The firm operates a direct, partner-led delivery model through five offices across India (Chennai headquarters, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Madurai, and Hyderabad) with approximately 250+ total staff and 60+ chartered accountants. Revenue is generated entirely on professional-services and managed-services fee arrangements, quoted per engagement based on scope and complexity, with no public pricing, subscription products, or disclosed financials. The GTM is relationship-driven, built over 80+ years of legacy, with growth anchored on referral networks, regulatory-pursuit credentials, and incremental partner-led capability expansion rather than marketing campaigns.
