Ford Rhodes Parks & Co.

What Ford Rhodes Parks & Co. does

Ford Rhodes Parks & Co. LLP is an India-incorporated limited liability partnership of Chartered Accountants founded in 1919 in association with Ford, Rhodes, Williams & Co of the United Kingdom. The firm renders professional services across audit (statutory, tax, internal, and management), accounting, taxation consultation and planning, corporate and allied laws, management consultancy, business and brand valuation, share valuation, due diligence reporting, project appraisals, and mergers and acquisitions advisory. Its stated client base comprises Indian corporate houses, multinational corporations and their Indian subsidiaries, public sector undertakings, banks and financial institutions, startups, and non-profit organisations, with services delivered through partner-led engagement.

The firm operates from five Indian offices — Mumbai (headquarters), Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad — each anchored by one or more resident partners. It is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), USA, which enables it to audit PCAOB-regulated entities and US-listed companies with Indian operations. Ownership is held entirely by nine named partners spanning the firm's offices, with no disclosed institutional investors, private equity backing, or acquisition activity. The current partnership includes individuals with 30–50+ years of professional experience, and several hold specialised credentials (Certified IFRS Professional, System Auditor, World Bank project experience). The firm's underlying technology stack is not disclosed; it maintains a basic WordPress website with no application, API, or SDK surface.

Revenue is generated through professional fees for audit, tax, valuation, and advisory engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is described as quote-based, varying by assignment complexity, scope, and client requirements. Go-to-market relies on direct partner relationships, referrals, and the firm's 100+ year brand legacy rather than formalised sales or marketing channels. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount growth trend, or recent strategic transaction in the source data.
