By Emdad Rahman

Abul Hyat Nurujjaman, founder of TAJ Accountants, has been crowned Best Hospitality Accountant 2025 at the 34th Tommy Miah International Chef & Hospitality Awards.

Among the chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality leaders gathered at the ILEC Conference Centre in West London, one accounting firm stood tall. TAJ Accountants was the only UK accountancy practice recognised in the multi billion-pound hospitality sector.

For more than 15 years, Nurujjaman and his team have quietly served restaurants and hospitality businesses with diligence and innovation. Their work goes far beyond numbers and is all about helping small businesses thrive. From digital bookkeeping to cost cutting solutions, TAJ has become a trusted partner for those navigating the often complex financial landscape of the hospitality trade.

The recognition was met with heartfelt gratitude.

“I am deeply honoured to receive this award,” said Nurujjaman. “It belongs to our clients, whose trust and support inspire us every day. This is about their journey as much as ours.”

He reflected on TAJ’s mission: simplifying accounting, empowering restaurant owners, and ensuring that even the smallest business has the clarity and confidence to succeed. “We invite hospitality businesses to work with us,” he added. “Together, we can save time, reduce costs, and create a smoother path to growth.”

The evening itself was spectacular. Hosted by Lisa Aziz and Nitin Ganatra, the event welcomed esteemed guests including Bangladesh High Commissioner Abida Islam and community leader Iqbal Ahmed OBE. Cultural performances and a celebration of excellence set the stage for a night to remember.

For TAJ Accountants, this award is more than a personal victory. It’s a recognition of community enterprise, resilience, and innovation. It shows that behind every successful restaurant or café, there is often unseen but vital support, like the steady guidance of accountants who understand the industry.

As the hospitality sector continues to evolve, TAJ Accountants stands ready. Their story is one of service, trust, and leadership. And now, with this international award, their place at the heart of the community is stronger than ever.
