G2 Catalyst is led by CA Dayanidhi Harichandan, a Chartered Accountant with more than 26 years of experience across corporate finance, accounting, controllership, taxation and business advisory. His work has spanned financial reporting and controls, statutory and tax compliance, cost and cash-flow management, and advising business owners on structure, funding readiness and growth decisions. G2 Catalyst was founded to bring that same standard of financial discipline to founders and small businesses that usually cannot access it in-house.

A clear, documented process.
No open-ended retainers or vague deliverables. Every engagement is scoped in writing before it starts.
1. Free 30-minute consultation
A candid conversation about where your business is, what you're solving for, and whether we're the right fit. No cost, no obligation.
2. Written scope and fee
You receive an engagement letter setting out deliverables, timelines, responsibilities and fees before any work begins.
3. Delivery with a single point of contact
Work is delivered to agreed milestones — financial models, filings, plans or CFO reporting — with one accountable advisor throughout.
4. Ongoing review
Retainer clients get monthly reporting and a review call; project clients get a handover pack and a follow-up session.
Let's map your next inflection.
Book a complimentary consultation — no decks, no pitches, just a candid look at where you're headed.

Answers founders ask us most.
End-to-end advisory for founders and growing businesses — startup registration, business planning, financial modelling, fundraising, virtual CFO, tax and compliance, corporate structuring, growth strategy, IT consulting, and social media optimization.
Early-stage founders, growth-stage startups, and established SMEs looking for strategic clarity, capital, or operating rigor. We work across sectors — technology, SaaS, D2C, FinTech, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.
Book a slot through the scheduling link. It's a no-obligation call to understand your context, discuss what you're solving for, and map out how we could help. You leave with a few concrete next steps, whether or not you engage us further.
It depends on scope — a fundraising or business-planning engagement usually runs 8–16 weeks, while Virtual CFO and compliance retainers are ongoing monthly relationships. We agree on scope, milestones, and duration upfront.
Most engagements are either a fixed fee tied to defined deliverables or a monthly retainer for ongoing work. Fundraising mandates include a success fee. Every engagement letter is transparent about scope, fees, and payment schedule.
We work across technology, SaaS, AI, FinTech, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, D2C, food, agriculture, education, and real estate. Our approach adapts to sector-specific unit economics, regulations, and capital markets.
