About Nikhil Makhija

CA Nikhil Makhija is a Partner at S.K. JHA & Co., Chartered Accountants, Ahmedabad. He holds a B.Com degree, qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2016, and has additionally qualified as a Forensic Auditor (FAFD) which is a combination that positions him as one of the more technically versatile practitioners at the firm, equally at home in statutory compliance, audit and assurance, and forensic accounting engagements.

With over a decade of experience, Nikhil ensures that the firm's large and diverse client base, spanning individuals, SMEs, family-managed businesses, corporates, banks, and charitable trusts across more than twenty sectors, is served with the same standard of precision and professionalism on every filing, every audit, and every compliance deadline. His role is not administrative; it is the kind of deep, client-proximate practice that builds the trust on which long-term advisory relationships are founded.

What distinguishes Nikhil is the breadth of his technical competence combined with his FAFD qualification in forensic accounting, a discipline that requires an investigative eye for financial irregularities, a rigorous approach to evidence, and the ability to present complex financial findings clearly to management, boards, and regulators. He brings this forensic mindset to all his work: whether reviewing a client's books, conducting a stock audit, or building out an internal control framework, he looks not just for compliance, but for what the numbers are actually saying.
