Paul
Fellow Chartered Accountant & Partner
Professional Profile
Mr. Probir Kumar Paul FCA is a Partner at M A Fazal & Co., Chartered Accountants, one of Bangladesh's reputable professional accounting firms. A Fellow member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) with membership number FCA-1583, he brings over 13 years of diverse professional experience spanning public practice, senior industry roles, and international consultancy assignments.
Mr. Paul holds the distinction of being simultaneously enrolled as an Authorized VAT Consultant under the National Board of Revenue (NBR) and a qualified Income Tax Practitioner (ITP) — making him one of the few professionals in Bangladesh with a full triple-credential coverage in audit, income tax, and VAT. He is also an active member of the Dhaka Taxes Bar Association (DTBA).
Beyond public practice, Mr. Paul serves as an Independent Director on the board of Hwa Well Textiles (BD) PLC, a publicly listed company, where he contributes to audit committee oversight and corporate governance under BSEC guidelines. He has also served as a financial consultant to Nepal Rastra Bank for a Loan Portfolio Review (LPR) — a high-profile international engagement reflecting his credibility at the sovereign institutional level.
His professional journey before joining public practice includes top-tier industry positions: Chief Financial Officer at Rose Sweaters Limited, Vice President (Accounts & Finance) at Robintex Bangladesh Ltd., and Finance Controller at the PRAN-RFL Group — one of Bangladesh's largest conglomerates. This industry background gives him a rare, ground-level understanding of the operational realities his clients face, enabling him to deliver advice that is commercially sound, not merely technically correct.
At M A Fazal & Co., Mr. Paul leads engagements across statutory audit, tax advisory, VAT compliance, business valuation, corporate restructuring, and financial advisory — serving a client portfolio that spans multinational corporations, listed companies, government-owned entities, NGOs, and private enterprises across more than two dozen industry sectors.
