The Story Behind Vaelo

Vaelo was built by a solo founder—Smeet Mehta, a B.Tech CSE AI/ML student at VIT Chennai—with a singular goal: to bring institutional-grade financial analysis down to a price point and workflow that works for India's smallest CA practices.

Independent Chartered Accountants are increasingly asked for strategic advice—valuations, M&A feasibility, and health modeling. However, the tooling required to deliver this rigor is often locked behind expensive enterprise licenses, and building deterministic models from scratch takes time that working practices simply don't have.

What makes us different

Vaelo bridges the gap in the market by being built specifically for solo and small CA practices, not massive enterprise finance teams. We do not use "black-box" AI tools to guess numbers. Every model is entirely deterministic, strictly formula-driven, and fully auditable. The final output is delivered through your practice's own client relationship, empowering your advisory role rather than replacing it.

Being an early-stage product built by one person is our greatest strength. It means you have direct access to the founder. We are hyper-responsive to feedback, and we build features based exactly on what your practice needs, without bureaucratic delays or enterprise bloat.
