I have had the pleasure of working with Hemant Mundhra and Total CFO across multiple transactions over a considerable period of time, and I can say with confidence that his expertise in Corporate Tax and VAT services is genuinely exceptional. In the world of corporate finance and advisory, having a tax professional who truly understands the commercial context, not just the technical rules; is rare, and Hemant is exactly that. His knowledge of Corporate Tax is thorough and applied. He does not simply reference legislation; he interprets it in the context of real transactions, structures, and business outcomes. On VAT matters, similarly, his guidance has been precise and commercially aware, which has been particularly valuable in complex cross-border and multi-entity scenarios. What sets Hemant apart further is his commitment to staying current. Tax is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of professional services, and Hemant consistently demonstrates that he keeps pace with legislative changes, HMRC guidance updates, and international developments. In every interaction, it is clear that his knowledge is live, not dated. On a professional level, he is reliable, responsive, and communicates complex matters with clarity, qualities that matter enormously when working under deal timelines. And beyond the professional relationship, he is simply a pleasure to engage with: thoughtful, considered, and always willing to have a substantive conversation. I would not hesitate to recommend Hemant and Total CFO to any business or advisory firm seeking high-quality, dependable tax expertise.Posted on Google![]()

You don’t have to chase for updates, and there’s a clear sense of ownership on whatever they take up. If you’re looking for someone reliable for corporate tax and VAT support, Hemant and his team are a solid choice.Posted on Google![]()
