Asian Consulting Group

What Asian Consulting Group does

Asian Consulting Group (ACG) is a Philippines-headquartered tax advisory and investment consulting firm founded in 2011 by Mon Abrea. The firm provides professional services across tax planning and due diligence, tax compliance, tax audit and settlement, estate tax advisory, and accounting/finance restructuring for multinational corporations, foreign investors, top Philippine enterprises (including Ayala Corporation), and government institutions such as the Department of Finance, Bureau of Internal Revenue, and PEZA. ACG also operates the TaxWhizPH Mobile App, which provides free tax information, online filing tools, and financial resources to Filipino MSMEs, freelancers, and overseas Filipino workers.

ACG earns revenue primarily through fee-for-service professional engagements with enterprise clients, supplemented by advisory contracts with government agencies on tax policy reform. The firm's go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, event-driven international investment briefings (the International Tax & Investment Roadshow spanning 30+ countries), and government partnerships via PEZA, BOI, PTIC, and the OECD. It has expanded physically with satellite offices in Singapore, Sydney, Dubai, London, New York, San Francisco, and Madrid to serve foreign investors entering the Philippines and broader Southeast Asia.

The firm's strategic differentiation rests on its founder's Harvard/Oxford/Duke credentials, deep relationships with Philippine regulators and the OECD, and a thought-leadership platform that includes the 'Reimagining the World' book series (archived at the U.S. Library of Congress) and the 'Thought Leaders & Game Changers' podcast. ACG has delivered ₱191 billion+ in tax savings to over 100 clients across more than 30 countries, positioning itself as a bridge between global capital and Philippine tax policy.
