Core practice
The work that must be right.
A wide catalogue sits behind the door. In front of it: accounting, statements, income tax, VAT, withholding and the monthly close — the mandates a CGA firm is built to carry.

Financial Statements & Management Reports
Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and board packs prepared so numbers mean something to people who are not accountants.

Withholding Tax (TDS)
Deduction maps, challans, certificates and vendor compliance — the quiet source of most assessment adjustments.
Read the mandate →The firm
A principal-led CGA practice.
Lutfar Rahman & Co. is organised as a professional accountancy practice, not a volume shop. Work is led by Md. Lutfar Rahman, a Fellow Certified General Accountant and Income Tax Practitioner, based in Dhaka.
The Institute of Certified General Accountants of Bangladesh (ICGAB) is the professional body for CGA credentials in the country. We practise within that tradition: competence, confidentiality, and files that can be opened in daylight.
Why clients instruct us
Scrutiny-ready
Books and tax files prepared as if a bank or the NBR will read them — because eventually someone will.
Tax at the table
An Income Tax Practitioner who can compute the return and, when needed, speak for the file.
Systems-minded
Ledgers, VAT codes and ERP finance design treated as one problem, not three vendors’ leftover work.
Written scope
No vague retainers. What we will do, what we will not, and when it is due — on a letter.
Engagement situations
The conversations that start a file.
Illustrative situations — not testimonials from named clients. If one of these is yours, write to us.
- The catch-up
- Twelve months of mixed Excel, a VAT return that no longer matches the ledger, and a bank asking for last year. We rebuild the close, then keep it.
- The first company
- Incorporation is done; the first employee is not. Chart of accounts, TIN/BIN, payroll and a tax calendar before the first messy year hardens.
- The notice
- A withholding or VAT query has arrived. We assemble the file, map the exposures, and represent as an ITP where the matter is tax.
- The system
- An ERP is going live with tax codes copied from another country. We put an accountant in the blueprint before the integrator paints the screens.
Insights
Notes from the practice.
A month-end close that a tax officer could sit through
Five working papers every Dhaka SME should finish before the fifth of the next month — and why “we will catch up at year-end” is how assessments are born.
What a VAT file that holds actually contains
Mushak discipline is not a software feature. It is a pile of matching documents that a reasonable inspector can follow in an afternoon.
Withholding tax: the assessment you can still prevent
Wrong section, wrong rate, late challan. A two-hour payment map in December is cheaper than a two-year argument after the notice.
