A&M Consulting Co. Joins Global Law Experts as an Exclusive Advisory Member for Company Registration & Tax Compliance in Türkiye

Headquartered in Istanbul, A&M Consulting Co. provides accounting, tax and business advisory services to foreign investors, international companies and local businesses operating in Türkiye. The firm supports clients throughout the business lifecycle, from company registration and tax registration to accounting, payroll, social security compliance and ongoing corporate administration.

A&M’s approach is built around a practical principle: company registration is only the beginning of establishing a business in Türkiye. Foreign investors also need to consider tax registration, accounting systems, payroll, Social Security (SGK), corporate banking and ongoing statutory compliance. A&M coordinates these requirements through an integrated advisory model designed to help businesses become operational and remain compliant.

Leadership and Professional Credentials

A&M Consulting Co. is led by professionals with extensive experience in accounting, taxation, payroll and business compliance in Türkiye.

Abdullah Mercanli, Co-Founder and Head of Tax & Investment Coordination, is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA/SMMM) with more than two decades of professional experience, including experience with the Turkish Social Security Institution (SGK) and senior finance and tax management positions in the private sector.

The firm’s professional background combines technical accounting and tax expertise with practical knowledge of the administrative procedures involved in establishing and operating businesses in Türkiye.

Company Registration and Compliance in Türkiye

Company registration in Türkiye involves more than incorporating an entity with the Trade Registry. Businesses must also address tax registration, accounting setup, social security requirements, electronic tax applications, banking and ongoing compliance obligations.

A&M Consulting Co. assists clients with the establishment and registration of different business structures, including:

• Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
• Joint Stock Companies (JSCs)
• Branch offices
• Liaison offices

Depending on the client’s requirements, A&M can coordinate Trade Registry documentation, tax registration, SGK registration and post-incorporation accounting and compliance procedures.

The firm also supports corporate changes after incorporation, including capital increases, company name changes, registered address changes and director or manager appointments.

For foreign investors, this integrated approach provides a single point of coordination rather than requiring separate providers for each stage of the establishment process.

From Company Formation to Operational Readiness

A&M’s services extend beyond the initial company registration process.

Once a company has been incorporated, businesses may need to establish accounting systems, register for applicable tax obligations, implement electronic tax applications, arrange payroll and SGK processes, and establish a corporate bank account.

A&M coordinates these areas as part of its broader business advisory model.

The firm can also assist with corporate bank account onboarding, including document preparation and coordination with banking institutions, subject to the bank’s own compliance and KYC requirements.

For businesses employing foreign managers or employees, A&M can also provide work permit support and related payroll and social security coordination.

This lifecycle approach allows foreign investors to address the practical requirements of establishing and operating a business in Türkiye through one coordinated advisory relationship.

Supporting Foreign Investors and International Businesses

A&M Consulting Co. works with foreign investors, international companies and entrepreneurs establishing or operating businesses in Türkiye.

Its experience covers businesses in sectors including:

• Energy
• Construction
• Real estate
• Logistics
• Hospitality
• Information technology
• Professional services

The firm’s international focus is particularly relevant for clients who may be unfamiliar with Turkish administrative, accounting and tax procedures.

Foreign-owned businesses may require additional support with matters such as foreign shareholders, cross-border transactions, international reporting, foreign employees and communication with Turkish authorities.

A&M provides practical guidance in these areas while coordinating the accounting, tax, payroll and compliance requirements applicable to the business.

Ongoing Corporate and Tax Compliance

For A&M, company registration is not treated as a one-time service.

Businesses operating in Türkiye have continuing obligations relating to accounting records, tax declarations, VAT and withholding tax, payroll, social security and electronic tax systems.

A&M provides ongoing accounting and tax compliance support designed to help businesses maintain accurate records, meet statutory deadlines and manage administrative requirements efficiently.

The firm also assists with corporate changes that may arise during the company’s lifecycle, including capital increases, share transfers, company name changes, registered address changes and director or manager changes, depending on the circumstances.

Remote Company Registration in Türkiye

Foreign investors do not always need to be physically present in Türkiye for every stage of the company establishment process.

Where appropriate, A&M can coordinate remote company registration through a properly executed Power of Attorney (POA), allowing the necessary incorporation and administrative procedures to be managed in Türkiye on behalf of the client.

This can be particularly useful for international founders who want to establish a Turkish company before travelling to the country.

A&M can coordinate the relevant documentation, notarisation, translation, Trade Registry procedures and post-incorporation requirements as part of the overall establishment process.

Corporate Bank Account and Post-Incorporation Support

Opening a corporate bank account is an important part of becoming operational in Türkiye.

A&M assists foreign-owned companies with the banking onboarding process by helping prepare the required corporate documentation and coordinating communication with banks. Final account-opening decisions remain subject to each bank’s internal KYC, compliance and risk assessment procedures.

Following incorporation, A&M can continue supporting businesses with accounting, tax compliance, payroll, SGK, electronic tax applications and other ongoing administrative requirements.

This continuity helps foreign investors avoid the common situation of completing incorporation but then having to find separate providers for the operational requirements that follow.

Client Education and Practical Guidance

A&M Consulting Co. also places strong emphasis on client education.

The firm publishes practical resources covering subjects such as:

• Company registration in Türkiye
• Company formation for foreign investors
• Tax compliance
• Accounting and bookkeeping
• VAT
• Payroll and Social Security (SGK)
• Electronic tax applications
• Corporate changes
• Corporate banking

These resources are designed to help international businesses understand the Turkish business environment and prepare for the administrative requirements involved in establishing and operating a company.

Why A&M Consulting Co.?

A&M Consulting Co. combines company registration, accounting, taxation, payroll and compliance advisory within one coordinated service model.

For foreign investors, this can reduce the complexity of managing multiple local service providers and help ensure that the different stages of establishing and operating a Turkish business are properly coordinated.

From initial company registration and tax registration to accounting, corporate banking, payroll, SGK and ongoing compliance, A&M provides practical support throughout the business lifecycle.
