About the author, CA S Srinivasan

Hi there ....

Thank you for visiting my blog - I’m glad you stopped by!

My name is Srinivasan, based in Mumbai (India). Professionally, I’m a self-employed consultant, but beyond work, I wear a few other hats - teacher, traveler, blogger, and music lover.

I teach Indian classical music, something that keeps me rooted and inspired. I love exploring new places, trekking in the mountains, or jogging to stay fit. I’m also deeply involved with my alma mater’s alumni network, helping current students find direction while reconnecting with old friends. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of training students who went on to excel in CA, CFP, and CPA qualifications - something I consider one of my most fulfilling contributions.

In addition, I actively promote financial awareness as a Resource Person for the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) program under the ICAI’s Committee of Capital Market & Investors Protection, conducting sessions that simplify money matters for investors and young professionals alike.

My blogging journey began in 2015, originally to share my experiences with music - my first passion. After a short pause, a 2019 trip to South Africa reignited my love for writing, and travelogues soon became a favorite form of storytelling. Since then, I’ve written about (my) journeys to places like Markha Valley, Odisha, Meghalaya, Ashta Vinayak, etc. capturing each trip in day-by-day narratives that let me - and my readers relive those memories.

In May 2020, when I lost my mother during the COVID period, I wrote a heartfelt tribute titled “Superwoman.” That period also gave rise to my writing on Personal Finance, where I strive to explain complex topics in simple language and help readers take charge of their finances. For everything else that doesn’t fit a category, there’s “Random Thoughts.”

I graduated in Commerce from the University of Bombay in 1987 as a Rank Holder, and later qualified as a Chartered Accountant, Chartered Wealth Manager, Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Trust & Estate Planner, and Qualified Personal Finance Professional.

I began my professional practice in 1990, focusing on Accounts, Taxation, and Audit, before expanding into Wealth Management and Financial Planning.

As of August 2025, I’ve written over 300 blog posts most on Personal Finance, with others spanning Travel, Music, and Random Reflections.

If any of these resonate with you, feel free to drop me an email,  I’d love to connect, exchange ideas, or simply chat about travel, music, or money management over a virtual cup of coffee.
