I believe that most public accountant preceives this as the ultimate destination, I believe that my endevor to the peak just started there. I realized my true potential and started preparing myself for the journey ahead. In 2022, I had left Howladar Yunus & Co. and joined J U Ahmed & Co., Chartered Accountants.
