About Howlader & Co Chartered Accountants

Operating from an office near Aldgate East in London, this chartered accountancy and tax practice describes itself as having several decades of history and a team drawn from former Big Four backgrounds. Its director, Hasib Howlader, is an ICAEW-qualified accountant, and the firm also lists CIOT and ACCA accreditation. Clients are mostly London owner-managed businesses, sole traders, contractors and franchises, with additional sector experience in private equity, funds, property, health, education and legal.
