What KMS Advisory BD does

KMS Advisory BD (legally KMS & Associates) is a Dhaka-headquartered management consulting firm founded in 2017 that delivers financial advisory, tax planning and compliance, audit and assurance, legal and compliance, BPO/PEO, and foreign-investment advisory services to over 700 companies, including 350+ IT-sector clients in Bangladesh and abroad. The firm operates a partner-led delivery model with nine staff, supported by senior credentials including a retired Commissioner of Taxes, Fellow Members of ICAB and ICMAB, and CA finalists. Its commercial model is professional-services-based with a consultative sales motion, free initial consultations, and direct enterprise engagement; pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are custom-quoted based on scope. The firm monetizes through recurring compliance (tax filings, VAT, bookkeeping), one-off advisory mandates, and newer PEO/foreign-investment bundles, while differentiating on IT-industry specialization and embedded relationships with Bangladesh's core regulators (BIDA, NBR, Bangladesh Bank, RJSC, BEZA). KMS operates entirely on bootstrapped, founder-led capital with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed financials in the public record.
