# InvestMates

> InvestMates is a cross-border financial advisory and wealth management firm serving Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) — primarily those living in the United States — who navigate the complexity of managing money, taxes, and investments across two countries. We provide end-to-end financial services through a team of expert Chartered Accountants (CAs), Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), supported by an AI-powered platform that gives clients clarity, compliance, and control over their entire financial life.

**Who we serve**

Our primary clients are NRIs living in the United States who earn in dollars, hold Indian investments, and face the unique challenge of being financially active in two regulatory and tax systems simultaneously. This includes software engineers and tech workers with RSUs and 401(k)s, business owners with assets in both countries, families planning to retire in India, and NRIs navigating estate planning, repatriation, or a return to India.

Our secondary audience includes NRIs living in India and other countries globally who face similar cross-border financial complexity — managing foreign income, overseas accounts, and multi-jurisdiction tax obligations.

**What we do**

InvestMates provides end-to-end financial services purpose-built for the NRI's cross-border reality:

We help clients with NRI tax planning and filing — handling US returns, Indian ITR filings, FBAR (FinCEN 114), PFIC reporting, DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) optimization, TDS management, and FATCA/CRS compliance. We provide personalized financial advisory services covering investment management in Indian mutual funds, PMS, and equities using compliant NRI structures. We guide clients through repatriation of funds from India to the US, ensuring FEMA, RBI, and LRS compliance. We advise on retirement planning across 401(k), IRA, NPS, and Indian pension assets. We structure estate and inheritance planning for NRIs with assets in both countries. And we support NRIs planning to return to India with a complete financial transition roadmap.

Alongside our advisory services, InvestMates operates a wealth management platform with tools for portfolio tracking, AI-driven financial coaching (Otto), cashflow management, cross-border remittance, and family wealth visibility — giving clients a single place to see and manage everything.

**Trust and credentials**

InvestMates is trusted by 50,000+ NRIs. The firm is registered and regulated across both countries.
