ABOUT US

Celikel CPA History

Celikel CPA was established in Istanbul in 2023 by our founder, Yiğit Çelikel. Our journey, which started as a small accounting office, has led us to become one of Turkey’s leading international accounting and consulting firms today.

During our early years, we witnessed firsthand the difficulties experienced by foreign entrepreneurs seeking to invest in Turkey: language barriers, complex bureaucratic procedures, lack of pricing transparency, and the challenge of finding a trustworthy contact. To address these issues, we committed ourselves to delivering services at international standards.

Today, we proudly serve clients from over 15 countries. Investors from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, the Middle East, and the Far East trust us to guide them through their Turkish business journeys. We offer tailored solutions for every client, acting not merely as accountants, but as genuine business partners.

As we look toward the future, our goals include continuing our technology-driven and digital-focused growth, reaching more international investors, and showcasing Turkey’s dynamic business environment to the world.
