What does Veridian Partners do?
We are a multi-practice professional services company with six service lines under one roof: taxation and related advisory, accounting and financial reporting, HR consulting, corporate advisory, corporate law and secretarial compliance and IT consulting. We also offer our own FBR-integrated software, Veridian E-invoicing Pakistan, as one solution for businesses that need it.
Where are you based, and where do you work?
Our head office is in Karachi (Office 203, 2nd Floor, Tariq Center, Main Tariq Road). We work with clients across Pakistan, mostly online with on-site visits when an engagement needs them, and we support cross-border engagements in the Middle East, Europe and the USA from Karachi. Our regulatory expertise covers Pakistan, the UAE (including DIFC and ADGM), the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. We do not have offices outside Karachi. See the jurisdictions we cover.
Who leads Veridian Partners?
The company is led by its three founding directors, whose qualifications span ICAP, ACCA and IFMP: Muhammad Shahjahan, CAMLP (IFMP), Chief Executive Officer & Founder Director; Muhammad Bilal Nadeem, ACA (ICAP), ACCA (UK), Founder Director; and Abdul Hannan Ahmed Sheikh, ACA (ICAP), Founder Director. Meet the founding team.
Do you perform statutory audits?
No. In Pakistan, statutory audits under the Companies Act, 2017 are carried out by chartered accountants and audit firms in practice registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP), and in other jurisdictions by locally registered auditors. We do not sign statutory audit reports. We do provide internal audit, risk and controls reviews, audit readiness (preparing your accounts and schedules for your external auditor), due diligence and forensic or investigative reviews.
How do your fees work?
We agree a clear scope and a fixed fee, or a monthly retainer for recurring work, before we start, and confirm it in an engagement letter. There are no surprises: if the scope changes, we discuss it with you first.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. The first conversation — up to 30 minutes with a founding director — is free and without obligation. We use it to understand your situation and explain how we can help and what it will cost. Book a consultation.
