M C Bhandari Co Chartered Accountants

Our office is right in the heart of Burra Bazar on Shivtalla Street. If you’ve ever been to this part of Kolkata, you know it’s one of the busiest places on earth. Number 18 is where we spend our days. Being chartered accountants in such a crowded market means there’s never a dull moment. M C Bhandari Co has been around for some time, and we’re used to the constant noise of the street outside. The building is old, and the stairs are a bit narrow, but it’s got character. We have stacks of ledgers and computers that hum all day long. It’s a lot of calculating and checking facts. Sometimes the humidity in West Bengal makes the paper curl at the edges, but we just keep going. People from the market pop in all the time with questions about their business. We don't have a receptionist in a suit; it’s just us answering the phone and filing away documents. It’s a practical setup for the type of work we do. We know the shopkeepers nearby and often grab tea from the stall on the corner when we need a break. Working in Burra Bazar teaches you a lot about how money really moves in the world. We don't talk much about ourselves; we just focus on the balance sheets in front of us. It’s a way of life here on Shivtalla Street.
