Jamal Asif
I began my accounting career with KPMG Pakistan in 2010, building a strong foundation for a successful journey in finance. In 2014, I became a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, which advanced my career. Over a decade in Pakistan, I gained expertise in audit, financial management, and business consultancy, progressing to the role of CFO. I also served as Head of Internal Audit at MyTM, improving internal processes and financial controls.
In May 2022, I moved to Canada and became Manager of Accounting at Janke LLP. My international experience allowed for a smooth transition. In 2023, I passed the Common Final Examination (CFE) and earned my CPA designation in Saskatchewan. I currently specialize in tax consultancy, offering tax planning and advisory services to businesses and individuals, helping them manage their tax liabilities effectively.
I believe in breaking down challenges into smaller steps, with persistence and strategic planning driving success. Alongside my technical skills, I am passionate about mentorship and have guided teams and professionals to achieve their goals. I am committed to helping others grow, offering practical advice, motivation, and insights to turn aspirations into reality.
As a mentor, I can offer advice on the following:
✅ CPA licensing pathways

✅ Mutual recognition agreement to expedite licensing
✅ Transferring licenses from other provinces
