Rize FinAdvisors

The Firm

Our Story

Rize was founded by three chartered accountants who spent their careers at the intersection of finance, transactions, and company building. Before starting the firm, the founding team worked across financial services, NBFC regulation, investment analysis, and CFO roles at early-stage companies.

The firm was built around a straightforward observation: founders and promoters doing significant transactions often end up with advisors who are either too large to give them real attention, or too narrow to handle the full scope of a deal. Rize was set up to fill that gap, working as a small, senior team on transactions and advisory work that requires both technical depth and practical judgment.

We are based in Chennai and work with clients across India on transactions, fundraises, valuations, and ongoing advisory mandates.
