History and Background

AG Singapore started as a sole proprietor by John Woo in 2014 offering audit services. Under John’s leadership and entrepreneurship, he managed to take only the next few years to turn it into a “one-stop” professional group offering a full range of auditing, accounting, taxation, corporate secretarial, and business support services. Till date, it has grown to a 6-professionals senior management team with over 20 professional staff having served more than 1,000 clients since inception. Our clientele includes MNCs, government agencies, SMEs and listed companies. 

Our Mission

Impacting businesses with value, care and passion. We believe if our clients know we genuinely care for them, our business will definitely grow. 

Our Value

Our name, Ackenting means the combination of innovation and accounting. We actively integrate technology into our process to make us more cost-effective, efficient and people oriented. This underlie the core value of our services to our clients. 

AG’s role in addressing common challenges businesses face today as a trusted auditing firm 

With the emerging complexities of business transactions and changing requirements of financial reporting, businesses often find it hard to catch up with the financial reporting and regulatory compliance. Business owners often spend more time and focus on top-line and cash-flows issues and forget the importance and urgency of financial reporting. This often leads to unnecessary “pain” which could have been avoided if they had engaged a trusted auditor. 

AG Singapore recognises the challenges faced by business owners and has specifically set up a team of audit specialists to cater to this growing demand of business owners. We offer customised and practical auditing solutions to business owners at a competitive rate.

Main competencies as a professional assurance firm

AG Singapore has 3 senior audit professionals accredited by local authorities, with many years of experience in top international audit and accounting firms. At AG Singapore, with our experience and expertise, we believe we are in a position to distinguish ourselves from other service providers by offering the following: 

One-Stop Solution

With a deep knowledge of financial reporting requirements and best practices suitable with local regulations, you can meet all your needs with our assurance services in AG, which ultimately will save time, cost and hassle. 

Personal Consultant

Clients will be assigned a senior auditor to analyse your business and explore any potential accounting issues. Practical solutions are tailored to meet individual needs including financial accounting and compliance matters. 

Quality

Our audit team comprises qualified and experienced auditors to help you meet the financial reporting and regulatory requirements in Singapore. Our recruitment policy is to hire experienced senior auditors with a minimum years of audit experience to ensure our audit quality. 

Compliance

Non-compliance of Companies Act is a serious offence. We help you manage your reporting and filing obligations and support your compliance needs. 

Building trust and satisfying customers 

We believe in gaining the trust of business owners, and in the process of helping and guiding them, grow together with their businesses in a “win-win” situation. 

We have a strict 24-hour response policy. Communication will be tight and fast so business owners can run their business with a peace of mind. We also dedicate a senior auditor for each client who will ensure all their enquiries are answered promptly. As all engagements are assigned to senior or managerial staff who can offer more assistance and solution, we often deliver quality and speed to our clients. 

Can you share the company’s future focus? What are some important developments and improvements we can expect from you in the years to come?

We want, are, and will continue to grow, organically and strategically. 

We want to reach an optimum size to achieve economies of scale. Given our strengths and capacity, we believe we can reach out to more business owners and offer our unique services to add value to their business. 

We are always on the look-out for strategic partners and professional network to increase our exposure and standing in the professional arena. This will help our clients in cross-border and cross-discipline matters, as a truly “one-stop” professional firm.
