Who We Are .
MABS & J is one of the oldest audit firms in Bangladesh with around 42 years of professional experience and Central Banks ranking as one of the top six firms at their last ranking done in March 2017. Recently, BB has published their latest enlistment of CA firms in Alphabetic Order and discontinued the ranking of firms. However, we are in the latest list in Alphabetic Order; MABS & J attends upon and meets the demand of the diversified services of its valued clients. It has developed expertise in Audit & Assurance, Forensic & Investigative Audit, Accounting Services, Taxation, Secretarial work, Corporate Finance, Stocks & Securities Management, Management Consultancy, Human Resources Consultancy, Information Technology Consultancy, Initial Public Offering (IPO) & Fund Raising, Outsourcing & Payroll Services, Feasibility & Market Study, Review of Financial Management System and Performance Audit of various national and multinational organizations. Our continuous efforts to ensure quality, practical advice, ethical solutions, and integrity have resulted in a magnificent growth of the firm over the last few years.
Legacy of the Firm
1979
MABS & J Partners (formerly known as Saha Mazumder & Co) is a firm of Chartered Accountants established through the merger of two separate firms, M/S B. B. Saha & Co, Chartered Accountants (est. 1979) and M/S Mazumder & Co, Chartered Accountants (est. 1981). The experience of the firm is thus reckoned as around 42 years under the license of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB).
Effective from 20 June 2013 the firm has been renamed as MABS & J Partners, Chartered Accountants. This name change has been done only to facilitate future expansion and inclusion of new partners in days ahead; hence the new name will represent the former firm, Saha Mazumder & Co. Chartered Accountants, in all respects and will carry experiences of more than four decades.
