Hi there! I am Sudip Sengupta, the face behind “Tfin Career”. Tfin Career is a sole proprietorship finance and consulting firm that makes complex tax and financial concepts easy to understand for everyone. With more than 21 years of experience in the field, I have noticed that people cannot make the right decisions in this field. So, I decided to create “Tfin Career” to help individuals and businesses alike. Here I urge those who are confused to make better choices. Also, it is good news for my dear clients and every visitor that I/we are going to start a training module for those who want to choose a career path in Finance and Taxation. Just follow my website.
