What R K Khanna & Co does

R K Khanna & Co is a chartered accountancy partnership firm established in 1947 in New Delhi, India, and one of the oldest continuously operating CA practices in the country. The firm offers four integrated service lines: Audit & Assurance (statutory audits, internal audits, limited reviews, consolidated financial statements); Tax Advisory (direct tax compliance, tax litigation before authorities, transfer pricing); Financial Advisory and Corporate Finance (financial modelling, valuation, investment teasers, pitchbooks, finance transformation); and Non-Core Business Processes (outsourced accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, reconciliations). Clients include Indian large and medium-sized businesses as well as multinational companies operating in India across automotive, healthcare, hospitality, IT, publishing, banking, ecommerce, engineering services, and trading sectors.

The firm is led by three partners with 30-40+ years of experience each. Mr. Anil Khanna, an ICAEW-qualified FCA (gold medallist, Stephen's prize awardee), has led the firm since 2000, succeeding his father and founder Shri Raj Kumar Khanna, who served as President of ICAI (1972-1973) and received the Padma Shri (1974) and Padma Bhushan (1975). Mr. Vipin Bali specializes in statutory and systems audits, management consultancy, and project finance; Mr. Y.K. Sharma specializes in income tax advisory, corporate law, and tax litigation. The firm has been a member of DFK International since 1973, supporting cross-border service delivery.

The business model is professional services fees, quote-based and tailored per engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is relationship-based and referral-driven through professional networks, consistent with traditional CA practice. The firm's distribution is direct client engagement with no proprietary technology platforms, no app, and no disclosed APIs or AI/ML capabilities. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a small partner-led practice.
