What we believe

Human-first, AI-assisted

Technology handles repetitive tasks. Humans handle judgment, relationships, and the nuances that matter.

Radical transparency

No hidden fees, no jargon, no surprises. You'll always know exactly what you're paying for and why.

Built for founders

We understand the startup journey because we've lived it. Your growth is our success metric.

Our story

What happens when you pair ten years of European accounting experience with a seasoned local firm owner? You get a different kind of accounting partner. Our founders, Amjad & Hazli, realised that the industry was changing. Amjad had just returned from a decade-long stint in Europe, and Hazli was looking to evolve his solo practice into something more dynamic and fun.

Over teh tarik and a shared vision at a mamak in Shah Alam, the idea for our firm was born. We saw foreign companies struggling to navigate Malaysia's business landscape — juggling multiple service providers for incorporation, compliance, tax, and payroll. We knew there had to be a better way. From our base in Plaza Azalea, Shah Alam, we combine modern technology with chartered expertise to help businesses thrive, no matter where in the world they call home.

Amjad & Hazli was born from a simple realisation: the future of finance is human-led but AI-driven. Founded at a mamak in Shah Alam by Amjad, who just came back from a decade-long stint in Europe, and Hazli, a veteran in the accounting & audit industry.

We've built systems that let us serve clients from Singapore, the US, Europe, and beyond — without the friction of traditional firms. Whether you're a local SME or a foreign investor setting up your first Malaysia entity, we bring a decade of experience and a digital-first mindset to your business.
