Why I Started Helmsman Financial Services

  • I’ve always believed that good financial advice should be rooted in honesty, simplicity, and a deep understanding of one’s goals—not in product commissions or quick wins.

  • Growing up in Ahmedabad, I saw people around me—friends, family, and even well-educated professionals—make poor financial decisions simply because they didn’t have the right guidance. They were overwhelmed by jargon, misled by aggressive sellers, or trapped in short-term thinking. That struck a chord.

  • As a Chartered Accountant (CA) and CFA (US) charterholder, I had the tools to make sense of the financial world. But more importantly, I had a calling: to make finance approachable, thoughtful, and truly aligned with people’s lives.

  • That’s why I founded Helmsman Financial Services—to steer individuals and families through the complexities of wealth management with discipline, clarity, and long-term vision. This business is my way of offering the kind of support I wish more people had access to: independent, values-driven, and deeply personal.

  • Because money is not just numbers—it’s about the life you want to live. And everyone deserves a guide who helps them navigate it with confidence.
