About BDE Accountants
The Best Decision You'll Ever Make for Your Business
At BDE Accountants, we believe every business deserves the clarity, confidence, and control that comes from having the right financial partner by your side. Whether you're a start-up finding your feet or an established business aiming to grow, we're here to help you make smart decisions — the kind that move your business forward.
After all, BDE stands for "Best Decision Ever."
Meet Our Founder – Jafar Iqbal
With over 20 years of experience in accountancy and business advisory, Jafar founded BDE Accountants with a simple mission: to help small business owners understand their numbers and use them to make better decisions.
Frustrated by the one-size-fits-all approach of many firms, he built BDE to be different — focused on relationships, not just reports. Clients see him as more than an accountant — he's their trusted advisor, financial coach, and sounding board for all things business.
