Metin Keser Business & Tax Consultancy

About Metin Keser Business & Tax Consultancy

Established in 1974, this Bakırköy-based CPA practice in Istanbul presents itself as an English-speaking firm focused on foreign companies setting up and operating in Turkey. Its site has a section for foreign investors that walks through choosing between a limited company, a joint stock company, a branch or a liaison office, and explains the tax, employment and profit repatriation rules that follow. The firm performs the incorporation itself: it prepares and notarises documents, arranges apostilles, sworn translations and powers of attorney, obtains tax numbers and registers the entity with the trade registry, the tax office and the social security institution, and then assists with the bank account. After set-up it keeps statutory books under the Turkish uniform chart of accounts, files corporate tax, VAT and withholding returns, runs payroll and SGK administration, prepares transfer pricing documentation and reports to head offices in English. Work permits for foreign staff are coordinated alongside payroll registration, and audit and forensic accounting support is available.
