What TGS TW PLT does

TGS TW PLT is a Malaysia-based professional services firm operating as a Limited Liability Partnership (PLT) from its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, with additional offices in Penang and Johor. Founded in July 2019 by Group Managing Partner Tan Tian Wooi and reincorporated as an LLP in January 2021, the firm delivers four integrated service lines: Audit and Assurance, Taxation, Accounting, and Business Consulting Services, primarily to publicly listed companies (PLCs) and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) across Malaysia.

The firm's core offering is statutory and special-purpose audit, supported by AOB registration (achieved February 2021) which permits it to serve as external auditor for Bursa Malaysia-listed issuers. It complements audit with corporate and individual tax compliance and advisory, transfer pricing, IFRS/MPERS advisory and conversions, and business advisory covering valuation, feasibility studies, and CFO services. Engagement delivery relies on a partner-led model using senior practitioners with backgrounds at Big Four and Tier-2 firms, deploying industry-standard audit technology (CCH/Inflo) rather than proprietary platforms.

TGS TW PLT is a member firm of the TGS Network, a global alliance of independent firms with more than 4,400 professionals across 58 countries, providing cross-border reach for multinational clients. The firm earns professional services fees on a per-engagement, quote-based model with no public pricing or revenue disclosure; it holds no outside funding and operates as a private partnership employing 180+ professional and support staff alongside seven partners.
