The Person Behind Half Pace
Irfan Khatri
Founder, HalfPace
“Most business owners are not concerned about paying taxes — they are concerned about not understanding them. Our goal is to simplify that journey and bring clarity into the system.”
01 The Beginning
Founded in 2017 as Irfan Khatri and Associates, the firm began with a clear purpose — to make professional tax and financial guidance more practical, accessible and meaningful for businesses and individuals.
02 Becoming HalfPace
In 2021, the firm evolved and was rebranded as HalfPace, carrying forward the same commitment while building a broader, modern and more approachable professional brand.
