Zinzuwadia & Co. CA
"It was an absolutely amazing and exciting experience to receive the “GGI Member Firm of the Year Award 2017”. The other two winners of the awards, Mowery & Schoenfeld LLC (Chicago, IL, USA) and CONTAX (Vienna, Austria), added flavour to this proud moment.
Five years ago, when we joined GGI as a new member firm and I attended my first GGI World Conference in Rome, I didn’t know anyone over there. But since then, I have made many GGI friends from all around the world. Our main aim in joining GGI was to network with professional firms for outbound referrals and to gain international exposure. We found the functioning and structure of GGI’s Practice Groups to be very professional, and worked hard to focus our participation within the following: International Taxation (ITPG), Global Mobility Solutions, M&A, Business Development & Marketing, and Audit, Reporting & Compliance. I also made sure to attend many Regional and World Conferences.
The main outcome of being GGI member firm, I realise, is that our firm is recognised to have global reach. At the same time, we have gained many friends, and become part of a much larger global family, which just happens to have a networking and knowledge-sharing platform.
I worked with many GGI firms so far, from Singapore and Australia to Mexico, Canada, and the UK. The best thing about GGI is that all GGI member firms are very high-quality service firms and are quick to respond as a part of their perceived moral responsibility. In common, I found that the approach of GGI member firms is always personalised and attentive.
We specialise in providing professional services to small to mid-size foreign companies for inbound investment and small to mid-size Indian companies for outbound investment for start-up strategies, FEMA (FDI) compliances and advisory services including support services. Let me assure all GGI firms that, given an opportunity to work with any of you or your clients, we will stay committed to provide the best quality services in terms of effective and clear communication, quick turnaround times and the best service solutions under the available circumstances. If anyone wants any information or preliminary support, kindly write to us and we would be happy to assist the best way we can."
