Explore our workTrusted by founders across finance, production and startups. Finance systems and creative work for founder-led businesses across India.
So we built Kalakaari Monkey, a place where brands and founders can just come as they are.
The monkey in the banana costume? That's us. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we take the work very seriously.
Serious about the work, never serious about ourselves. The Monkey Manifesto
Brand identity, content systems, website builds, launch assets. Built for founders who want to be remembered.
We run your finance back office like a product. Clean books, cash visibility, compliance without chaos. Via Finmentals.
Most founders end up using both, because brand without systems breaks and systems without brand does not convert.
Founders, families and small businesses, in their own words.
We availed financial consultancy from the Kalakaari Monkey team. They helped us manage our finances systematically. Best thing was they understood our issue and gave a suitable solution as per our requirements.
Had a great experience with the online consultancy to set up my small business. They also helped set up my social media pages to reach customers better. Will definitely recommend. 10 out of 10.
Super great service sorting my finances with Samuel. Very easy, to the point and hassle free. Would highly recommend anyone looking to get advice or just sort their finances. Absolute gem to work with.
A very satisfying experience. Their approach was thorough and well researched. They took the time to understand my financial goals, risk appetite and future aspirations. The personalised attention and transparency stood out.
I opted for the income tax return service and the experience was quite amazing. Done within a few minutes without any obstacles. I would love to recommend it to my friends and family members.
We build our own products, so we understand what founders actually face.
Next venture: still in the lab.
