Professional Background

CA Regi Tom Antony is a Fellow Chartered Accountant (FCA, ICAI) with over 30 years of experience in Indian and international business advisory. He holds an MBA from Australia, is an Associate Member of CIMA (UK), a Chartered Global Management Accountant certified by AICPA (USA), and a Certified Information Systems Auditor (ISACA, USA) — a rare multi-jurisdiction credential set among Indian CAs.

Regi brings deep Big 4 / multinational experience, including senior roles at Crowe Horwath Consultants (an international chain of consulting firms) and board-level involvement in establishing and managing subsidiaries of global corporations including Siemens and Westcon/Comstor Group across Asia and the Middle East. He brings first-hand experience of the regulatory, operational and governance challenges that arise when Indian and foreign businesses expand across borders.

His international experience spans cross-border transactions, DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance) treaty planning, FEMA / RBI structuring and a long-standing NRI client base across the Gulf, the US, the UK, Singapore and Australia.

He now advises startups, SMEs and international businesses through RTA & Associates, a CA firm based in Kakkanad, Kochi, offering CA-led advisory across entity formation, compliance, cross-border structuring, virtual CFO, valuation and investor readiness — serving clients India-wide and internationally.
