The Second Signature

Every engagement here gets signed twice.

Pick your situation. A sample engagement letter assembles in front of you — each line of work signed by the brother whose specialty owns it. That is not a metaphor for how this firm works; it is how this firm works.

Services

Seven services. One roof. Two CPAs over all of it.

Attest, tax, books, and payroll usually live in three different firms. Here they live in one office on West Shaw Avenue — so the people who keep your books are the people who plan your taxes, and the CPA who files your return can audit the statements behind it.

Flagship service

Audit & Review

The service most firms this size cannot offer you. Our audits are conducted in accordance with required auditing standards and conclude with an opinion on the fairness of your financial statements — and Roken has put that opinion to work for for-profit companies, not-for-profit organizations, and government agencies alike.

  • Audits conducted in accordance with required auditing standards
  • An opinion on the fairness of your financial statements
  • Internal-control understanding, built into the engagement
  • Evidence examination and testing
  • Management-improvement findings, communicated to you

Signed by Roken Bhatt, CPA — who has audited for-profit, not-for-profit, and government organizations.

Meet the brothers

The partners are the firm.

Two brothers from Fresno, two accounting degrees from Fresno State, two CPA licenses — and one practice they opened together in 2020. When you hire Bhatt & Associates, these are the two people who do the work.

Roken Bhatt, CPA
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT — PARTNER

Roken Bhatt, CPA

The attest depth. Roken has been in public accounting since 2008 — twelve years of it before the brothers opened this firm — and his career runs across the returns and audits other firms refer out.

  • B.S. Business Administration, Accountancy Option — California State University, Fresno
  • Returns prepared across individual, partnership, exempt-organization, fiduciary, and corporate filings
  • Has audited for-profit, not-for-profit, and government organizations
  • Has assisted clients with mergers, acquisitions, and tax planning

Fresno-raised. Find him on a Yosemite trail — or, since a 2018 trip to Egypt, under water with an open-water scuba license.

Ronek Bhatt, CPA
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT — PARTNER

Ronek Bhatt, CPA

The operations depth. Ronek keeps the firm’s books-and-payroll engine running — the monthly discipline that makes tax season and audit season boring, in the best way.

  • B.S. Business Administration, Accountancy Option — California State University, Fresno, 2011
  • Received his CPA license in 2015
  • Deep experience in tax planning, tax preparation, small-business bookkeeping, payroll processing, and internal controllership
  • Proficient in English, Hindi, and Spanish

Off the clock: tennis, basketball, and the same Yosemite trails his brother hikes.

Questions, answered straight

Before you ask, here are the answers.

Who will actually do my work?

The two partners. Roken Bhatt, CPA and Ronek Bhatt, CPA are the firm — the CPAs you meet are the CPAs who prepare, review, and sign your work. Between them they cover both sides of an engagement: Roken brings the attest and complex-return depth, Ronek the bookkeeping, payroll, and controllership depth, and every engagement gets the second signature before it leaves the office.

What happens at the free consultation?

You sit down with one of the brothers and walk through your situation — a return that needs filing, books that need keeping, an audit your board or lender is asking for. We explain what the engagement would involve, which services apply, and what your next step is. The consultation is free, and there is no obligation to engage us afterward.

Can you work with us in Hindi or Spanish?

Yes. Ronek Bhatt is proficient in English, Hindi, and Spanish, so the conversation about your taxes and your books can happen in the language you think in — questions, explanations, and documents reviewed together, with nothing lost in translation.

My board, bank, or grantor needs audited or compiled statements. Can you do that?

Yes — audit and review is our flagship service. Audits are conducted in accordance with required auditing standards and conclude with an opinion on the fairness of your financial statements; Roken has audited for-profit, not-for-profit, and government organizations. If a compilation is what is required, we prepare the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows from your information — yearly, quarterly, monthly, or on a comparative basis, including the compilations banks and lenders ask for.

When should tax planning happen?

Before the year ends — that is the whole point. Planning has to be completed before the prior year-end to capture the credits and deductions available to you, which is why we recommend every client meet with us before year-end, while the moves can still change the outcome. A plan made in April is just an explanation of what already happened.

How do we exchange documents securely?

Through our client portal, powered by Verifyle: a secure login where you upload and download documents directly with the firm. Tax returns, payroll records, and financial statements do not belong in ordinary email — the portal keeps them out of it.

Do you only work with Fresno clients?

Our office is on West Shaw Avenue in Fresno, and we serve clients throughout California and the United States. If your books, payroll, and filings can travel through the secure portal — and they can — geography is not a barrier to working with us.

Free consultation

Bring us the work. Both of us will look at it.

One conversation with a partner — your taxes, your books, or your audit requirement, reviewed straight. The consultation is free; what you do with the answers is up to you.
