Saw Meng Tee founded Saw Meng Tee & Co as a sole-proprietor firm in Feb 1999. He started his accounting career with a Big Four firm. In 18 years, the practice grew more than 20 times. With EisnerAmper, our vision is to be one of Singapore’s leading professional services firm in the specialist areas of Financial Services, Corporate Solutions and Advisory.

The firm started very small with a few people only. With the firm’s focus listening and understand the client’s needs and providing an effective and efficient solution, the firm was able grow steadily every year.

In the early years, our firm was the appointed accounting advisor to the Bureau which was appointed by the Registry of Companies(currently known as Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority

With a view to be more integrated globally, Saw Meng Tee & Co was invited in 2005 to join Premier International, an accounting association of mid-sized accounting firms with especially strong European presence ( Premier International Associates is one of the top 30 international accounting and professional service networks. Founded by SRLV (London) in 1996, it has grown from to more than 60 firms globally through membership and affiliation.

The next few years after 2005 were especially fast growth years for the firm. In addition to assurance and tax assignments, the firm took on Corporate Finance transactions, working with our associate firms internationally and helped more than 10 Chinese companies list on the London AiM exchange. We were one of the leading accounting firms working on Chinese companies listing on the London AiM exchange.

To enable us to grow and take advantage of the business opportunities at that time, the firm merged with another firm, Wong Sook Yee & Co. Iris Loo joined us as a Partner and Saw Meng Tee & Co became a partnership firm and hence Saw Meng Tee & Co converted to a Public Accounting Corporation in 2008.
