Finance and portfolio support in Bangladesh helps business owners, families and non-resident Bangladeshis see and manage their whole financial position: business cash flow, bank deposits, savings instruments, listed shares, property and loans. We consolidate reporting, align it with the income tax return and wealth statement, and coordinate with banks and BSEC-licensed portfolio managers, without giving investment advice or managing funds.
Finance and portfolio questions usually start with a simple problem: the owner cannot see everything in one place. Money sits in company accounts, personal FDRs, savings certificates, BO accounts with brokers, property and loans to family members. Each is reported differently, and the annual income tax return and statement of assets and liabilities must somehow capture all of it accurately.
This service is for owner-managers, family groups and NRBs who want order and visibility. We act as your finance coordinator and reporting partner. We are not a portfolio manager, merchant bank or investment adviser; decisions to buy or sell securities stay with you and the BSEC-licensed entities you appoint.

Tax side of investment income
Different investments are taxed differently under the Income Tax Act 2023. Interest on bank deposits and savings instruments usually has tax deducted at source, dividends are subject to withholding, and gains on listed securities and on property follow their own rules. Some investments may also qualify for investment tax rebate within limits set by the current Finance Act. Getting the classification right, and claiming credit for every tax deducted at source, avoids paying twice.
Unexplained growth in wealth from one year to the next is a common trigger for questions from the tax office. A consolidated record that ties each asset to its source of funds makes the wealth statement defensible.
Monthly and annual reporting
We agree a reporting rhythm that fits you. Typically a monthly or quarterly summary shows cash position, upcoming maturities and commitments, and a year-end pack reconciles everything to bank and broker statements, TDS certificates and the figures that go into your return. Reports are in plain English with a one-page dashboard at the front.
Common financial blind spots
- Savings certificates bought in family members' names without matching their tax files
- TDS on interest never claimed as a credit in the return
- Loans to and from the company not documented or not shown in the wealth statement
- Listed shares in BO accounts forgotten in the return
- No view of when large FDRs and loans mature
How the process works
- DiscoveryWe list every account, investment, property and loan across the people and entities involved.
- Collect statementsWe gather bank, broker, savings instrument and loan statements plus TDS certificates.
- Build the consolidated viewWe prepare a single register and reconcile it to source documents and prior tax returns.
- Agree reporting rhythmWe set the format and frequency of reports and who receives them.
- Ongoing reporting and tax alignmentWe update the reports and feed accurate figures into annual returns and wealth statements.
Typical timeline: Setting up the first consolidated picture typically takes three to six weeks, depending on the number of accounts and how quickly statements can be obtained; ongoing reporting then follows the agreed monthly or quarterly cycle.

Frequently asked questions
Do you tell me what to invest in?
No. We do not give investment recommendations or manage money. We give you an accurate, consolidated view of what you hold and its tax effect, so you and your licensed investment professionals can make better decisions.
Can you help NRBs with their finances in Bangladesh?
Yes. Non-resident Bangladeshis often have deposits, savings instruments, property and rental income at home. We keep track of them, coordinate with local banks and tenants' payments, and help ensure tax filing obligations in Bangladesh are understood and met.
How does this connect to my income tax return?
The year-end pack provides the figures for income, tax deducted at source, investments eligible for rebate, and the statement of assets and liabilities. Your return can be prepared directly from it, which reduces errors and makes the wealth statement easier to defend.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Financial information is used only for the agreed purpose and shared only with parties you authorise, such as your banks or auditors. We recommend you keep access rights to shared folders under your own control.
How is this different from portfolio management?
Finance and portfolio support covers your whole financial position, including business cash flow, property and loans. Our portfolio management support page focuses specifically on oversight and reporting of investment portfolios held with licensed portfolio managers and brokers.
