Nitya

What Nitya does

Nitya LLC, operating as Nitya CPA, is a Maryland-based public accounting and business advisory firm founded in 2014 by Dushyant Lowe and Sanjuana Medellin. The firm is headquartered in Columbia, Maryland with a second office in Rockville, and serves clients across the Maryland and Washington D.C. metro area.

The firm's service offering covers the standard SMB accounting stack: tax preparation and planning, general accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, fractional CFO services, and business consulting. Beyond generalist work, Nitya operates a multi-vertical practice targeting government contractors (with DCAA-compliant accounting), technology companies, nonprofit organizations, medical practices, and real estate firms — verticals that share complex compliance, audit, and cost-allocation requirements well-suited to a credentialed small practice. Founder credentials include CPA, Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), and Certified Tax Coach designations, and the firm holds SBA 8(a) certification and QuickBooks Platinum ProAdvisor Partner status.

The business model is engagement-based professional services revenue: fees for tax filings, recurring monthly bookkeeping and payroll, project-based advisory, and fractional CFO retainers. Government-contractor and 8(a)-eligible work expands the addressable market into federal set-aside contracting. Pricing is not disclosed and no revenue figures, client counts, or headcount specifics are publicly available beyond a stated 1-10 employee band. Go-to-market appears to be a mix of referral, Intuit SMB ecosystem exposure, local networking within the Maryland/D.C. corridor, and content/educational resources published by the firm.
