Celikel CPA

About Celikel CPA

Founded and run by Yiğit Çelikel, a Turkish SMMM with more than 15 years of accounting and financial management experience, this Istanbul practice in Maltepe is built around foreign investors who want to set up and operate a company in Turkey. Its client base is mainly international businesses, foreign-owned subsidiaries, branches and liaison offices, and it communicates in English, Turkish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic, with the website published in all five languages. Formation is carried out by the firm itself, including remote set-up through a power of attorney: entity choice between a limited and a joint-stock company, MERSIS drafting, trade registry filing, tax number activation and bank account onboarding. Once the company is registered the firm keeps the statutory books, files corporate tax, VAT and withholding returns, runs payroll and social security reporting, and prepares reporting packages reconciled to IFRS or US GAAP for parent companies. Work permits for foreign shareholders and employees, free zone set-ups and foreign investment advisory complete the offer.
