Our Story

Built on one family's commitment to getting it right

R B Shah & Associates was founded in 1994 by RB Shah (Advocate) in Rajkot. What started as a one-partner firm serving local businesses has grown into a full-service chartered accountancy practice advising 500+ clients across Gujarat and beyond.

In 2020, CA Rushabh Shah — AIR 22 in CA Final and AIR 4 in CA Inter — joined as partner, bringing Big 4–calibre advisory thinking to an established family practice. Today, the firm operates across audit, direct tax, GST, FEMA, RERA, finance advisory, and proprietary technology — a combination that few firms of our size can match.

Our clients stay with us for decades. Not because of contracts, but because of results.

Zero litigation defeats

Every CIT(A), ITAT, GSTAT, and High Court matter argued since 1994 — resolved in the client's favour.

Technology-first delivery

Proprietary SaaS tools — TaxTalk for ITR filing, XpensR for expense management — built in-house.

Full-spectrum expertise

Audit, direct tax, GST, FEMA, RERA, Ind AS — genuine depth, not just a service menu.

30-year client retention

Our oldest clients have been with the firm since 1994 — some since the very first year.

What We Stand For

The principles that haven't changed in 30 years

— Precision

No approximations

Every figure in every filing is verified against the source document. We don't estimate where we can verify.

— Integrity

We tell you what you need to hear

If a transaction has a problem, we say so. Clients deserve honest advice, not comfortable agreement.

— Outcomes

Results that hold

A tax position that gets overturned in three years isn't advice — it's delay. We structure for permanence.

— Continuity

The same team, every year

Our clients don't get handed to juniors. The partners who know your business are the ones doing your work.
