About SM & Associates
Where in the World We Work
Today, we actively serve clients across six countries, bringing the same standard of
advisory to each engagement regardless of geography.
Our home and our foundation. From our headquarters in Kathgodam, Nainital, we
serve businesses and individuals across Uttarakhand and beyond, offering the full
breadth of our accounting, tax, legal, and investment services. We understand the
local business environment deeply, and we combine that ground-level knowledge
with a national and international perspective that most regional firms cannot offer.
Dubai is home to one of the largest Indian professional and business communities in the world, and it is one of our most active international markets. We advise NRI professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses in the UAE on everything from India UAE DTAA structuring and NRI income tax compliance to UAE corporate tax obligations (introduced in 2023), VAT filing, cross-border remittance planning, and free zone entity setup advisory
The Indian diaspora in the United Kingdom is large, ambitious, and increasingly
financially complex. We work with Indian-origin entrepreneurs, professionals, and
students in the UK, helping with UK-India double taxation relief, HMRC compliance,
foreign income reporting under the Indian Income Tax Act, pension and investment
repatriation planning, and the often-confusing question of residency and its tax
implications in both countries.
East Africa is emerging as one of the most exciting frontiers for Indian businesses, and Kenya sits at the heart of that growth story. Our Kenya practice supports Indian
businesses, diaspora clients, and cross-border investors with entity structuring, Kenya
Revenue Authority (KRA) compliance, financial reporting, and advisory tailored to the
East African regulatory and commercial environment.
The Sultanate of Oman has long been a destination of choice for Indian professionals
and businesses in the Gulf. We serve NRI clients and companies operating in Oman
with end-to-end financial compliance, covering Oman VAT, corporate income tax
advisory, NRI financial planning, and India-Oman DTAA structuring.
Azerbaijan is a market most Indian businesses have yet to fully discover, and that is
precisely why our clients who are already there have an advantage. Sitting at the
crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Caspian energy corridor, Azerbaijan offers
significant opportunities for Indian businesses in trade, energy, infrastructure, and
services.

S M
& Associates
A Firm Led by Professionals
Every client engagement at SM & Associates is led by a Chartered Accountant or a qualified Advocate. You are not onboarded by a partner and then handed off to a junior who has never met you. The people who advise you are the people who know your file, understand your business, and are accountable for the advice they give.
Financial and Legal Expertise
The combination of a CA and an Advocate leading the firm is not a marketing point, it is a structural advantage that directly benefits our clients. Many financial questions have legal dimensions, and many legal questions have financial consequences. When both disciplines sit at the same table, you get integrated advice rather than two separate professionals talking past each other.
Genuinely International
We do not refer international clients to other firms or offer vague general guidance on overseas matters. We actively practice in six countries, the UAE, UK, Kenya, Oman, Azerbaijan, and India, which means our international advisory is grounded in real, current, hands-on knowledge of each jurisdiction’s regulatory environment.
Cross-Border Tax Expertise
We specialise in structuring financial arrangements under India’s DTAA network, helping NRIs, expat professionals, and globally active businesses ensure that they are not paying tax twice, that their income is reported correctly in every jurisdiction, and that their overall tax position is as efficient as the law allows.
You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers
We offer a comprehensive suite of financial and legal services: accounting and bookkeeping, GST registration and filing, income tax planning and compliance, payroll management, legal advisory, and personalised investment advisory. For clients with international interests, we provide crossborder tax structuring, NRI financial planning, and multi-jurisdiction compliance management across India, the UAE, UK, Kenya, Oman, and Azerbaijan.
Yes, NRI advisory is a significant part of our practice. We regularly work with Indian professionals and entrepreneurs in Dubai and the UK on NRI income tax obligations, the benefits available under India’s DTAA with the UAE and the United Kingdom, foreign asset and income reporting requirements, and structured repatriation planning. We understand both the Indian and the overseas regulatory environments, which allows us to give advice that is genuinely complete rather than one-sided.
Absolutely. We actively serve clients operating in all three markets. For Kenya, we assist Indian businesses and diaspora entrepreneurs with KRA compliance, entity structuring, and financial advisory tailored to the East African market. In Oman, we handle NRI financial planning, Oman VAT, and India-Oman DTAA structuring. In Azerbaijan, we support Indian businesses and investors with market entry advisory, cross-border tax structuring, and local compliance guidance. Our presence in these markets is hands-on, not theoretical.
Very much so. Some of our most valued long-term client relationships began when those clients were at the earliest stages of building something. We offer practical, affordable compliance packages for startups, along with company incorporation support, financial planning for growth phases, and the kind of strategic advisory that helps early-stage businesses make smart financial decisions from day one, rather than having to unwind costly mistakes later.
Our operations are built for remote engagement. We use cloud-based accounting and document management systems that allow us to work with clients in Dubai, London, Nairobi, Muscat, or Baku just as effectively as we work with clients who walk into our Nainital office. Communication happens through video calls, secure document sharing, and regular digital check-ins. Physical presence has never been a barrier to receiving the full quality of our advisory.
A few things stand out. First, the combination of a CA and a practising Advocate at the leadership level means we can address financial and legal complexity together rather than in isolation. Second, our genuine international presence across six countries allows us to advise on crossborder matters with real, practised knowledge, not general guidance. Third, our client relationships are built on long-term partnership, not transactional service. We invest in understanding your situation so that our advice gets better and more valuable over time.
Simply reach out. Call us at +91 8679966804, email us at contact@smandassociate.com, or visit us at our office on Panchakki Road, Kathgodam. The first conversation is always free, and there is no obligation. Tell us where you are and where you want to go, we will tell you honestly how we can help.
