Prior to founding Madan Chartered Accountant in Mississauga, he worked for the prestigious firm Deloitte for 6 years, where he held the position of International Tax Manager. He has completed Parts 1 and 2 of the Canadian In Depth Tax Course, which is the most comprehensive tax training in Canada. He has held several tax seminars, including “Taxation for Real Estate

At Madan Chartered Accountant, we know how important experience is. We also know how critical it is to have someone in your corner that knows your unique situation. Too often, an accounting firm will have staff that doesn’t take the time to know you. Sure, they will do business with you and answer your questions before you pay. But once you do, where do they go? To them, you are little more than a number.

That’s why we value you as a person, and not just a customer. Your taxes are important to us, because they are important to you. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will always take the time to go the extra mile. Among all the accounting firms in Mississauga, we’re special. Our unique size enables us to answer the most complex of problems, yet provide personal attention to all our clients.
