THE CYNOVA APPROACH

Technically grounded. Personally delivered.

CYNOVA was founded to give business owners and individuals something often missing from traditional accounting relationships: direct access to an experienced advisor who can connect tax, accounting, and business decisions.

Raj spent approximately seven years with Ernst & Young, including experience as an audit manager. That background developed a disciplined approach to evidence, risk, controls, and the financial story behind an organization.

As a business owner, Raj also understands that technically correct advice must still be practical. Clients need to know what matters, why it matters, and what to do next.

ROOTED IN PLAINFIELD. COMMITTED TO SERVICE.

Business experience shaped by community leadership.

CYNOVA is built on relationships—with business owners, local leaders, veterans, and the community Raj calls home.
