About Financial Agency Group
Built to open the world's deepest capital markets to the world's fastest-growing companies.
We are a U.S.-based strategic advisory firm with one specialization: preparing companies from India and other emerging markets to become publicly traded in the United States.
Who We Are
The strategic partner behind the scenes
Financial Agency Group was founded on a simple observation: the United States hosts the deepest, most liquid, and most trusted public capital markets in the world — yet for high-quality companies in emerging markets, the road to those markets is opaque, fragmented, and full of avoidable mistakes.
Founders are told they need lawyers, auditors, transfer agents, EDGAR agents, market makers, and investor relations firms — but nobody tells them in what order, at what cost, or to what standard. Timelines slip. Budgets balloon. Momentum dies.
We exist to solve that. Financial Agency Group provides milestone-based advisory services covering regulatory documentation, listing readiness, and coordination with experienced U.S. professionals — including securities counsel, PCAOB-registered auditors, transfer agents, and EDGAR filing agents. We specialize in supporting non-U.S. private companies through U.S. public listing pathways, including Regulation A+, SEC Form F-1, and OTC Markets.
We do not act as a broker-dealer, underwriter, or custodian of investor funds. Our role is strategic: ensuring that each client is structurally and operationally prepared to access U.S. public markets, and that every professional in the process works to a single, coherent plan.
Our Principles
How we work
Readiness before ambition
A premature listing damages a company more than no listing at all. We assess readiness honestly — and we tell clients when the answer is "not yet," along with exactly what must change.
Milestones, not retainers
Engagements are structured around defined phases with defined deliverables. You always know what has been achieved, what comes next, and what it costs.
Compliance is the strategy
In U.S. markets, regulatory credibility is the asset. Every recommendation we make is built around SEC, FINRA, and PCAOB standards — never around shortcuts.
One coordinated ecosystem
Attorneys, auditors, agents, and market professionals working to one timeline, with one advisory partner accountable for keeping the process coherent.
Leadership
Founder-led, operator-minded
Financial Agency Group is led by its co-founders, who remain directly involved in every client engagement.

Co-Founder & Chief Financial Officer
