About
Built by two people who wanted the paperwork done properly.
Astra Wealthcraft started with a simple observation: the unglamorous work — tax returns, GST, books and registrations — is where most households and small businesses lose money, sleep and deadlines. We built a practice you pay directly, that sells nothing else, and that explains every number in plain English.
The partners
Complementary by design.
Co-founder · Financial Education & Technology

Has run finance and accounts for companies in Hyderabad and, earlier, in Tanzania, after training with a chartered accountancy firm. He completed the ICAI chartered accountancy qualification in 2022; his ICAI membership is not currently active and he does not practise as a Chartered Accountant.
LinkedInWhat we believe
Five principles we won't trade.
1 · Paid only by you
No commissions, no distribution income, no referral fees. Our fee is the only money we make.
2 · You stay in control
Your accounts, your logins, your decisions. We prepare and explain; you approve.
3 · Written down
Every filing comes with the reasoning and the documents behind it.
4 · Lawful, documented, on time
Tax planning uses the levers the law gives you — nothing else.
5 · Plain English
If you cannot explain a filing to your family in two sentences, we have not finished explaining it.
