Leadership

Three partners. Three practices. No hand-offs

Every engagement at iAdvizors Nexoium is owned by one of three partners — scoped by them, delivered by them and answered for by them. These are the people you will actually work with.

The partners

Managing Partner · M&A Advisor

Balaji Selvaraj

“Most businesses do not fail at the deal. They fail at the readiness.”

Deals are decided long before the term sheet. By the time a buyer or an investor is in the room, the cap table has already been built, the numbers have already been recorded a particular way, and the structure is already whatever it is. Balaji’s work is to get to those questions early — while there is still room to change the answer.

As Managing Partner he holds the firm’s overall direction and client relationships. As M&A Advisor he leads transaction work end to end: buy-side and sell-side advisory with particular depth in founder-led deals; investor readiness for businesses that need to be underwritable rather than merely promising; valuation, financial modelling and feasibility work that will survive a diligence process; deal structuring and financial due diligence; multi-year exit and succession planning designed as a runway rather than a scramble; and post-acquisition integration, where deals are actually won or lost.

He came to transactions from the finance chair rather than the deal desk. That shapes how he works: diligence starts with the numbers a buyer will genuinely test, and readiness work begins with the reporting that has to hold up under it.

Engagement lens. Transactions, transitions and turning points. A confidential conversation is the starting point.

Partner · Tax, Compliance & Cross-Border Structuring

Dinesh Jain

“The cost of the wrong structure is rarely visible — until it is expensive.”

Tax is not the point. Structure is. Tax is the bill that arrives once the structure has already been chosen, usually by someone, somewhere, in a hurry. By the time the bill is visible, the room to negotiate it has already closed. Dinesh’s work is to make sure that conversation happens early, while there is still room to move.

He leads the tax, compliance and cross-border structuring practice, working with promoters, family offices, international groups and mid-market businesses on the architecture underneath their operating reality: UAE corporate tax registration, qualifying free zone analysis, transfer-pricing readiness and group relief; UAE VAT advisory, structuring, recoveries and disputes; cross-border UAE–India structuring, including holding architecture, treaty analysis, remittance pathways and repatriation efficiency; residency and tax-residency planning, including Golden Visa, tax residency certificates and substance; and the compliance layer around all of it — Economic Substance, UBO and AML.

His view is shaped by working on both sides of the corridor, UAE outbound and India inbound, which is where structuring decisions actually compound.

Engagement lens. Restructuring, repatriating, expanding — or pressure-testing what you already have.

Partner · Virtual CFO Advisor

Sasi Kumar

“Founders do not need more reports. They need the right three numbers.”

Most growing businesses do not have a finance problem. They have a finance leadership problem — and that is the gap Sasi closes. The bookkeeping is happening and the compliance is filed, but the owner is still flying blind on the questions that move the business: unit economics, working capital, runway, pricing, margin, and what to keep versus what to stop.

Sasi leads the virtual CFO and strategic finance practice, sitting alongside founders and management teams as their finance leadership for as long as it takes to build the function that eventually replaces him. In practice that means partner-level virtual CFO support, embedded and on call; management reporting and FP&A that surfaces the few numbers an owner should see weekly; cash-flow, working-capital and treasury discipline — the unglamorous work that keeps companies alive; budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning; finance transformation and ERP; and board and investor reporting that pairs the right narrative with the right numbers.

He has sat on both sides of the table, inside the business and advising it from outside. The view from each side sharpens the other.

Engagement lens. If the finance function is slowing the business down, that is almost always fixable.
