  • Hi,

    I am a Chartered Accountant, your basic content and free trial versions of the software on the website seems very helpful and useful to me and I hope the same would for others as well.

    I would like to be a part of your work, maybe by writing articles at the backend, making studies or case analysis regarding taxation, accounting or finance matters. I will even do this for free as your site is a very useful resource.

    If you need any help feel free to get in touch with me.

    Thanks
    Regards
    CA Rajat Ojha
