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.
About Us
A professional firm built around real businesses
Half Pace helps individuals, entrepreneurs and growing businesses handle taxation, GST, accounting and compliance with clarity — and get practical advice along the way.
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.”
Founder's Story
From one practice to a firm
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.
The Belief
Irfan believes professional advice becomes genuinely useful when clients can understand it and apply it to their own decisions. HalfPace therefore looks beyond a filing or a deadline to understand the individual, entrepreneur or business behind the numbers.
That belief also shapes the team: explain clearly, use technology where it removes friction, and build relationships through dependable, practical support.
The Vision Ahead
HalfPace is continuing to build a trusted professional brand around clarity, long-term relationships and a team that understands its clients' businesses.
Through the firm's work, HalfPace GPT and Irfan's book, Tax Samajh Lo Yaar, the vision is to make tax and financial knowledge more approachable while keeping professional guidance personal and useful.
Irfan also authored Tax Samajh Lo Yaar, a practical guide to GST, income tax and compliance written without complicated jargon. Explore the book →
