STARTUP
Under the Sistem Global Danışmanlık umbrella.
About
20+ years in tax advisory, bilingual operations and locally-rooted, globally-minded intuition.
I have practiced as a CPA in Istanbul since 2006. My career began not with an ordinary ledger, but as the first financial advisor to a company that has since become Türkiye's unicorn. Reading the numbers of a young firm, I came to see that figures speak of a company's character, its intent, its future. That intuition has stood at the centre of my work for twenty years.
Today I serve as senior auditor in an Istanbul-based, multi-client SMMM practice; alongside that, my own atelier sets up and sustains the entire Turkish operation of foreign-capital investors. I conduct my services in Turkish; in English and Mandarin I work alongside my team. The two words my clients say most often are trust and continuity. The promise I make them is plain: a written response within one business day.

The questions that come up most about how I work, the process and pricing. If you can't find the answer, I'm a message away.
I work with SMEs, family businesses, e-commerce ventures, foreign-capital companies and self-employed professionals. My sectoral focus is on technology, retail, manufacturing and service businesses.
We start with a complimentary 30-minute intro call to clarify your needs and design the right solution. Once the agreement is signed, the first two weeks cover ledger handover, e-invoice integration and setting the monthly rhythm.
I deliver my services in Turkish; in English I work together with my team. With foreign-capital clients, communication runs directly in the relevant language, without translators. This matters especially for European and international investors.
With all documents in hand, typically 7–10 business days. This covers tax number, MERSİS registration, Trade Registry filing and bank account opening. The potential tax number for foreign partners may extend this by 1–2 weeks.
At month-end I deliver a standardized P&L, income statement and cash-flow summary. For SME clients, I hold a 30-minute monthly review — to read last month's numbers and plan the next.
I work on a fixed monthly fee; the amount depends on transaction volume, headcount and scope of services. After the intro call I define the scope and provide a written quote — no surprise items later.
