What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in tax advisory and compliance while contributing to a dynamic team focused on quality service delivery.

I am a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) since 2003, with extensive experience in accounting, audit, tax, and corporate services. I have been running my own Chartered Accountant firm, Ovais Ansar & Co., since January 2018, where I provide tax compliance, advisory, and appellate services to a diverse clientele, including individuals, partnerships, and corporates.

Before establishing my own practice, I held significant roles in leading CA firms such as A. F. Ferguson & Co. and Shekha and Mufti. My expertise lies in income tax advisory, compliance, and appellate services, having worked with notable clients like Emirates Airlines and Tapal Tea. I am passionate about delivering quality services and maintaining strong relationships with my clients.
