Credentials that stand up to scrutiny.

Anyone can call themselves an accountant. Pro Accountants is led by partners who hold the senior credentials Fiji’s accounting profession recognises — CA, CPA, FRCS Tax Agent — and the firm is independently certified by Business Link Pacific, the regional advisory programme backed by DFAT and NZ MFAT.

Professional memberships

The senior credentials behind every file.

Each of these is independently administered by a professional body. None are self-issued.

CA (Fiji)

Chartered Accountant with the Fiji Institute of Accountants — the senior credential for the Fijian accounting profession. Held by our Managing Partner, Ashwini Goundar.

CPA (Australia)

Certified Practising Accountant with CPA Australia — one of the world’s largest professional accounting bodies. Held alongside CA Fiji by our Managing Partner.

Registered Tax Agent (FRCS)

Authorised by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service to act on behalf of clients in tax matters — filings, objections, voluntary disclosures and FRCS representations.

25 years of CFO experience

Our Partner for Technology & Advisory, Shan Ali, brings a quarter-century of senior finance experience across Fijian businesses — the operator’s perspective that shapes every advisory engagement.

Business Link Pacific

Certified by an independent regional programme.

Business Link Pacific (BLP) is the Pacific’s leading business-services certification programme — backed by Australia’s DFAT, New Zealand’s MFAT, and the Asian Development Bank. BLP vets advisors through a structured competency assessment before they can list. Pro Accountants is BLP-listed across three service categories.

What we stand for

“We add value, more than numbers.”

It’s on our logo and it’s on our wall. A chartered accountant is supposed to give you reliable numbers. We start there — and then we look at what those numbers mean for the decisions you have to make next.

Credentials matter. Outcomes matter more.

The reason any of these credentials matter is the work they back. Let’s talk about what you need done.
