2025 WCG India Team Tax Kickoff

Jason Watson, Terra Plamp and Beth Buchanan just returned from Ahmedabad, India to meet with our 23-person team on the other side of the globe, do some training, kick off tax season and share some laughs.

Meet your WCG India team-

Left to right standing- Sahil Sheth, Riya Maheshwari, Shivani Trivedi, Saloni Patadiya, Trishla Chaplot, Surbhi Setia (WCG India Team Director), Terra Plamp (WCG U.S. Senior Tax Manager), Payal Nainwani, Rohit Kewlani, Dhanesh Tiwari, Ashita Jain, Rachit Ved, Sumit Sirwani,  Mohit Prajapati,  Shubham Rathod, and Abhay Singrotiya.

Left to right sitting- Khushi Shah, Simar Singh Bagga, Jason Watson (WCG U.S. Partner), Shikha Sahu, Varsha Sangtani, Priyanshi Nagar, Aashini Shah.

India gets hot, right? Like 35 Celsius or more hot. Look at our picture again… Dhanesh is covering up the R in HEARTBEAT. So, the joke is now “WE ARE ONE TEAM, ONE HEAT.” Yes, we are getting t-shirts.

Who is on WCG India? We have tax accountants, tax support team members and accounting services team members.

What about credentials? Sahil, Trishla and Surbhi are Chartered Accountants. This is similar to a Certified Public Accountant, but for those who have both the CA and CPA, they all say the CA is way way harder. Dhanesh is an Enrolled Agent and Saloni is almost done with the same. How is an EA different than a CPA? Read more.

We also went to the 2025 International Kite Festival on Tuesday. Want some fun facts about kites?

In 1870, Australian inventor Lawrence Hargrave designed box-kites and inspired the aeroplane. He later worked with the Wright Brothers who are obscurely famous.

1890 – 1940, box-kites were used to collect meteorological and other weather data. Balloons were the upgrade.

In 1903, Samuel Franklin Cody crossed the English Channel using a specially designed kite. He’s nuts.

Kite-Buggying and Land-Boarding use kites attached to buggies to race across sandy beaches.

Jason Watson, CPA is a Senior Partner of WCG CPAs & Advisors, a business consultation and tax preparation CPA firm located in Colorado Springs, and is the author of Taxpayer’s Comprehensive Guide on LLC’s and S Corps and I Just Got a Rental What Do I Do? which are available online and from mostly average retailers.

Professional Consultation

Did you want to chat about this? Do you have questions about us? Let’s chat!

The tax advisors and business consultants at WCG are not salespeople; we are not putting lipstick on a pig expecting you to love it. Our job remains being professionally detached, giving you information and letting you decide within our ethical guidelines and your risk profiles.

We see far too many crazy schemes and half-baked ideas from attorneys and wealth managers. In some cases, they are good ideas. In most cases, all the entities, layering and mixed ownership is only the illusion of precision. As Chris Rock says, just because you can drive your car with your feet doesn’t make it a good idea. In other words, let’s not automatically convert “you can” into “you must.” Yes, it is fun to brag about how complicated your world is at cocktail parties, but let’s not unnecessarily complicate it for the bragging rights.

Let’s chat so you can be smart about it.

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.
