FINANCIAL & OPERATIONS CONSULTING — PROVIDENCE, RI

Financial clarity,
built in layers.

Nácar & Ledger is named for mother-of-pearl — a material formed one careful layer at a time until, years later, it catches the light. That's the same discipline I bring to your books.

A NEW NAME FOR TWO DECADES OF THE SAME WORK

The person
behind the practice

Arif Shurdho

I'm a Providence-based bookkeeper and financial & operations consultant with more than two decades of full-charge accounting experience — from multi-entity real estate portfolios to small businesses just getting their footing.

I've also spent a long time underwater. I was part of the first group worldwide to earn the PADI Research Diver certification, and worked as a science research diver on an artificial reef restoration program. Nácar — mother-of-pearl — is built the same way good books are: one careful layer at a time, until what looked unremarkable starts to catch the light.

Nácar & Ledger exists for Providence's next generation of business owners — first-generation entrepreneurs, LGBTQ+-owned businesses, women and non-binary founders, and a new generation of Gen Z and Millennial owners — who deserve bookkeeping that's precise where it counts and never condescending anywhere else.

This practice carries forward two decades of the same discipline, previously operating as BatemanBryce. Same standards, same person — a name that finally reflects who I'm building it for.
