Melikhan Özçelik
Melikhan Özçelik is a certified public accountant (Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavir, SMMM) who combines an academic background in law and public administration with the accounting profession.
A graduate of the Yalova University Faculty of Law and the Anadolu University Public Administration programme, he draws on knowledge from different disciplines when assessing financial regulation, taxation and the financial processes of businesses.
He has worked in accounting since 2021, gaining experience in the formation, bookkeeping, tax compliance and financial reporting of Turkish and foreign-owned companies. In particular, he is involved in setting up and running the accounts of foreign-owned companies in Türkiye and in communication with their international shareholders.
His professional work focuses on company formation and restructuring, bookkeeping and tax returns, tax planning, financial advisory, tax audits, settlement and tax dispute procedures.
With the analytical perspective gained from his background in law and public administration, he approaches financial and tax matters not only through accounting practice but together with the legal and administrative dimensions of the relevant legislation.

His professional approach is built on adherence to legislation, analytical assessment, transparent communication and the sustainable management of each business’s financial processes.
Law and finance together
A command of statutory and procedural rules provides a solid basis for both day-to-day accounting and complex audits.
Advisory for international companies
From formation to monthly reporting, every step is communicated directly in English to foreign shareholders.
Assessing tax risks in advance
Records are reviewed in advance against potential audit risks; written opinions are prepared under Law No. 3568 Art. 2/A-c.
