Hi
I am Mohammed Jafar Akram the Finance Director of Alpha Technology and I have joined this site to just to clarify a couple of issues and concerns regarding an Individual who has posted on this site who visited M Akram & Co today (this message is intended for this individual):
1) your comment regarding "change in business function from Accountant to bit coin mining"
What the hell are you talking about? There is no change in business function. M Akram and Co and Alpha Technology are two seperate businesses.
M Akram and Co is headed by an accountant and Alpha Technology by an Engineer. (Two separate people).
2) with reference to your comment "You spoke to a couple of residents on the street who said the accountants seems to open and close and change name at will"
Our accountancy firm "M Akram & Co" has been established and open since 1986, during this period it has never changed names and has never closed for business since 1986. It has always been solely owned by my father and nobody else. You are free to check this up from official government records.
We have over 100 clients which include a wide range of businesses ranging from solicitors, medical practices, takeaways, online retail stores, warehouses, and taxi drivers (to name a few). As far as I am aware our clients are extremely happy with us and 90% of our client base is as a result of word of mouth referrals from satisfied clients.
3) These individuals commenting that they "have little Trust in the business"
Have these people you spoke to ever been clients or done business with us or do they even know us? I'm guessing not.
We are qualified accountants. My father is a Financial Accountant (Registered with IFA) and a Certified Public Accountant (Registered with CPA UK), and I am a qualified Chartered Certified Accountant (Registered with the ACCA). You can again verify this information via official channels.
I don't know if you know anything about these bodies but they are highly reputable professional accountancy bodies. We are also registered and supervised by the IFA for Money Laundering Regulations. We are also required to oblige with strict Professional Codes of Conduct by these bodies.
We have clean records and have never been subject to any type of criminal investigation in our lives (my dad is 65 years old and ZERO criminal convictions) and I can assure you we will not in the future either. The work you go through and the respect and reputation you gain from being part of such prestigious bodies such as ACCA is not worth ruining for any kind of money even it be a billion pounds.
4) I have recently took on the role of Finance Director in Alpha Technology.
I am not part of the operations team, I am only an accountant and will be in charge of handling FINANCIAL duties and do not have enough knowledge of the operations and engineering aspects of this project to comment with certainty on these things. However, I did do enough due diligence before taking the role of Finance Director and would NOT have taken this role if this was a scam.
The reason I did not and cannot give any phone numbers or email addresses is because I can not give private information on the telephone numbers of Alpha Technology staff, due to one of the professional Codes of Conduct us accountants have to abide by called Confidentiality.
5) You mention the area we are located "Rusholme" being a criminal area. The road we are located on has many other professional practices such as many accountants, solicitors, a large dental practice, letting agents etc. I did not know this was a criminal hot spot?
Please check things up properly via official channels and do your due diligence before character assassination attempts after a 2 minute chat.
If you want to ask about technical details or batch 2 orders or anything Alpha Technology related you will have to communicate with the operations team and not me (whom as I said should be open next week at 66 Dickenson Road).
I am sorry if I've sounded rude in this message. I have always worked hard and with integrity, and I was just shocked at some of the assumptions you made about us.
Anyway, I hope you have a good day and I hope in a couple of months time when Alpha Technology ships batch one to customers and we have satisfied customers and positive comments that you order from batch two

I will not be visiting or commenting on this site again, my intention was only to make the misinformed public after this character assassination attempt aware of the reality of the situation.

weird, according to this public documentation, "M. Akram & Co" used to be "MAC Accounting Solutions Limited" and was changed back in 2013. So how about that NEVER changed names?
