Partners in your financial success
At EliteNine, we are more than a tax, payroll and bookkeeping firm. Our mission is to bring a Big Five experience to every client, whatever the size or complexity of their needs.
Our story
EliteNine was founded on a simple belief: do things the right way. We follow the law of the land and deliver transparent, accurate financial services with the expertise of a large firm and the personal attention of a boutique practice.
Our founder, Kumar Bacchu, built his career at a Swedish multinational and leading Indian companies before earning his IRS credential as an Enrolled Agent. Together with co-founder Nandeesha PM — a CPA, Chartered Accountant and CISA — he created EliteNine to serve individuals and businesses with complex needs.
