Bio
Parag Bajaria
I have worked with Darshi for the last three years. She has handled taxes for my corporation. She is very knowledgeable about tax strategy for technology startups. When we needed to contact tax authorities, she handled most of the tedious work of talking to them. She is also very responsive - she has always returned my calls in a business day. I am extremely pleased with the services that she has provided. Parag Bajaria
