A few words from the founders and executives who trust us with their finances, compliance and growth.
★★★★★
It's been several years since I handed over to Mr. Sakib's team the responsibility to optimize the finances of my companies. That was by far one of the best decisions I took in the past years. It has been so relaxing since — to pilot in clear waters. I'm super confident in him and his team. A dream which became true!!

★★★★★
Our thriving digital marketing agency needed a way to effectively communicate key metrics of success to our clients. Each client had specific needs but TurnQi Advisors was able to produce a customized dashboard tailored to each one of their needs. This allowed us to show clear progress to our clientele with ease, and the clients could easily access the information themselves at any time. This resulted in increased client retention rates and overall greater client satisfaction.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about entering, operating and scaling in Bangladesh — and how our four service verticals help.
Book a free assessment →What services does OZMO Consult offer?
OZMO Consult is a Dhaka-based advisory firm working across four verticals: Bangladesh Market Entry (Market Assessment, Entity Setup & Management, EoR & Business Presence); Corporate Secretarial (CoSec) & Compliance (Registration & Renewals, FDI Reporting, Statutory Audit Coordination, Regulatory Recovery, Liquidation); Managed Services (CFO Services, Offshore Business Support, Payroll & Workforce Management, Tax & VAT, Onsite Admin Support, Export Subsidy Claim); and Strategic Growth Advisory (UAE & HK Market Entry, Financial Modelling & Valuation, Investment Readiness, Impact Measurement & Management, Forensic & Due Diligence, Cost Management & Product Costing). Most clients start in one vertical and grow across all four.
How do I register a company or set up a foreign entity in Bangladesh?
Through our Bangladesh Market Entry practice. We begin with a Market Assessment, then handle Entity Setup & Management end to end — company incorporation with the RJSC, BIDA registration for foreign investors, e-TIN and VAT registration with the NBR, bank-account opening and ongoing statutory maintenance. Most sectors in Bangladesh allow 100% foreign ownership.
Can I hire staff or operate in Bangladesh without setting up a company?
Yes — our EoR & Business Presence service lets you employ people and run a compliant presence in Bangladesh without incorporating your own entity. We act as the legal employer, handling contracts, payroll, income-tax (TDS) and labour-law compliance, so you can test the market or launch in days rather than months.
What corporate secretarial (CoSec) and compliance services do you provide?
Our CoSec & Compliance vertical keeps your statutory calendar current: Registration & Renewals (RJSC, trade licence, IRC/ERC), FDI Reporting Support to Bangladesh Bank and BIDA, Statutory Audit Coordination, Regulatory Recovery for missed filings, and Liquidation when it is time to wind an entity down cleanly.
We've fallen behind on statutory filings and renewals — can you fix it?
Yes. Our Regulatory Recovery service audits your standing across RJSC, NBR, BIDA, Bangladesh Bank and the City Corporation, back-files outstanding returns, works to mitigate penalties, and puts a compliance structure in place so it does not happen again.
Do you offer outsourced CFO, accounting, payroll and tax services?
Yes, through Managed Services: CFO Services for senior financial leadership without a full-time hire, Payroll & Workforce Management, Tax Managed Service (Tax & VAT) covering corporate income tax and monthly VAT (Mushak) filings, Onsite Admin Support, and Export Subsidy Claim management for eligible exporters. For UK, US and Hong Kong companies, we also run Offshore Business Support (see the next question).
Can you run our UK, US or Hong Kong company's filings, tax and bookkeeping from offshore?
Yes — that is our Offshore Business Support service, built for UK, US and Hong Kong companies. One team in Bangladesh runs the domestic obligations your company generates at home: companies-registry filings (Companies House, the Secretary of State, or the Companies Registry), corporate tax returns (HMRC, the IRS, or the Hong Kong IRD), VAT / sales-tax and payroll filings where applicable, monthly bookkeeping and management accounts, and a single tracked filing calendar across every jurisdiction you touch. Because it is delivered offshore rather than by a local firm, clients typically pay around half of what an onshore provider charges for the same scope — the deliverable does not change, the cost structure does.
What strategic growth and advisory services do you provide?
Our Strategic Growth Advisory practice supports the decisions that move a business: UAE & HK Market Entry, Financial Modelling & Valuation, Investment Readiness (IR), Impact Measurement & Management (IMM), Forensic & Due Diligence Advisory, and Cost Management & Product Costing.
Can you help my business set up in the UAE or Hong Kong?
Yes. Our UAE & HK Market Entry service guides businesses through jurisdiction selection, incorporation, licensing, corporate bank-account opening and ongoing compliance in the UAE and Hong Kong. We work with companies globally, with particular focus on Bangladeshi-built businesses expanding abroad.
Do you build financial models, valuations and investor-ready materials?
Yes. We provide Financial Modelling & Valuation (three-statement models, DCF and comparables) and Investment Readiness (IR) to prepare your financials, data room and pitch for investors. Our modelling and valuation work is international — we have built financial models and project and entity valuations for leading Canadian, American and European organisations. We have also helped Bangladeshi startups and SMEs secure international funding — equity, grants, soft loans and SAFE notes.
Do you provide impact measurement and management (IMM) for impact-linked or catalytic funding?
Yes. Our Impact Measurement & Management (IMM) service is aligned to IRIS+, GRI and the UN SDGs, and is increasingly essential for impact-linked financing and catalytic funding — where investors and development funders expect credible evidence of outcomes, not just financials. We are certified service providers under Biniyog Briddhi (a Government of Switzerland initiative), and have helped shape the impact measurement — including Theory of Change (ToC) development — and reporting frameworks for many impact enterprises in Bangladesh.
What is forensic and due-diligence advisory, and when do I need it?
Our Forensic & Due Diligence Advisory independently validates financial integrity and operational risk before major decisions — investments, acquisitions, partnerships or internal concerns. It covers financial due diligence, forensic accounting, fraud-risk assessment, related-party review and clear risk reporting.
Can you help improve margins with product costing and cost management?
Yes. Our Cost Management & Product Costing service builds practical costing systems — product and SKU-level costing, contribution and break-even analysis, overhead allocation and pricing support — so you can protect margins and scale profitably. We have helped organisations from small businesses to large corporations recover margins eroded by poor resource planning and allocation, weak costing models and strategic missteps.
What is the Free Assessment — and is it really free?
Yes, it is genuinely free and with no obligation. In a focused session with a senior advisor, we assess where your business really stands across internal controls, FP&A (financial planning & analysis), financial reporting, governance, forensic and due-diligence readiness, product costing, investment opportunities and growth positioning. You leave with an honest read on your strengths, gaps and priorities — and, depending on your situation, we will often deliver your first, most urgent (“on-fire”) service completely free of charge, so you experience the value before any commitment.
