Small enough to care. Qualified to deliver.
Tardigrades Inc is a Maldivian accounting and advisory practice built for small and medium-sized enterprises — the businesses that power our islands' economy.
Built for the backbone of the Maldivian economy.
SMEs make up the vast majority of businesses in the Maldives, yet many founders are left to navigate registration, tax and compliance on their own.
Tardigrades Inc was registered in February 2021 to change that. We give small and medium businesses access to the same quality of professional accounting and advice that larger companies take for granted — at a scale and price that makes sense for them.
We help clients start the right way, stay compliant with MIRA and other authorities, understand their numbers, and — when times are tough — find a way through. Whatever stage you're at, you deal directly with the founder, an ACCA-trained accountant who takes the time to understand your business.
Why we're called Tardigrades.
Tardigrades — “water bears” — are tiny, eight-legged animals famous for surviving almost anything.
They thrive in conditions that would end almost any other life form. We think that's exactly what every business owner wants: the ability to weather shocks, adapt and keep going. Our logo — a tardigrade formed of ocean-coloured currents — reflects that resilience and our home in the Maldives.
Founder & Principal Accountant
Misbaahu Mujthabaa
ACCA-trained accountant and MBA graduate with a decade of experience across public-sector finance, procurement and local governance.
Misbaah's career began in government finance at the Maldives Land and Survey Authority, handling financial reporting, budgeting, payments and cash flow — and running the procurement and corporate functions when required. Roles as Lead Accounting Consultant at Picad Pvt Ltd, in private-sector procurement, and as Vice President of the Ga. Maamendhoo Council followed. Tardigrades Inc brings that experience to SMEs: clients work directly with Misbaah on incorporation, tax, accounting, advisory and insolvency matters.
