Get to know our Founder
Palash Patni, Chartered Accountant


Accounting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I come from a family of Chartered Accountants, where the profession has been practiced with integrity for generations.
Growing up, I watched my father and grandfather guide clients through complex financial matters, and those early experiences instilled in me not only technical curiosity but also a deep respect for the role of an accountant as a trusted advisor.
I qualified as a Chartered Accounting in 2019 & carrying forward this legacy, I began my professional journey as a 3rd generation Chartered Accountant at Patni & Patni, our family firm with a history of more than 35 years in Aurangabad and Pune, Maharashtra (IN).
My work here gave me hands-on exposure across the spectrum of Indian taxation and compliance—income tax advisory, statutory audits, GST litigation and compliance, and accounting support for businesses of various sizes and sectors.
These experiences shaped my belief that accounting is not just about numbers; it is about problem-solving, strategic thinking, and being a partner in a client’s growth journey.
Driven by curiosity and preparedness, I further augmented my qualifications:
Along the way, I expanded my expertise through professional certifications and training.
I am a Chartered Accountant (India) with specialized certifications by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Certified Overseas Outsourcing Services Provider (US Market)
Concurrent Audit of Banks
Preparation of Appeals, Drafting of Deed & Documents & Representation before Appellate Authorities & Statutory Bodies.
I am also a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor (by Intuit), which allows me to work seamlessly with global accounting platforms used widely by businesses across the world.
My professional journey is also marked by active contributions to the ICAI Aurangabad branch and continuous involvement in tax forums, ensuring that I stay current with the latest regulatory and industry developments.
Bridging Two Worlds
As I watched Indian businesses evolve and the U.S. accounting landscape grow more complex, I recognized an opportunity—a convergence: that expertise developed in one country could bridge gaps for clients in another.
This realization inspired the founding of Advicekey: an accounting and bookkeeping services provider devoted to U.S. clients, led by a qualified CA with a solid legacy and fresh enthusiasm.
With Advicekey, my aim is to support businesses in the United States—by offering accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparation services and advisory services that bring both efficiency and reliability. From bookkeeping to payroll, accounts receivable to payables, and tax preparation—all powered by cloud-based tools—we bring not just services, but the assurance of credentials, integrity, and global readiness.
At the heart of my work lies a simple principle: to build relationships based on trust, integrity, and clarity. Whether working with a startup, a growing enterprise, or collaborating with a MNC, I see my role as more than just an accountant—I strive to be a consultant, mediator, and problem-solver who helps businesses move forward with confidence.
Those who choose AdviceKey aren’t just getting a service provider—they’re partnering with me, someone who respects traditions, embraces technology, and believes in building relationships as deeply as balance sheets.
