CLA Global Increases Asia Presence

The latest mergers and acquisitions and other corporate actions at CLA Global, an international organisation of accounting and advisory firms.   

CLA Global announced this week that Singapore-based accounting and professional services firm Nexia TS will join the organisation as a network firm. 

Nexia TS, which has re-branded to become CLA Global TS, will continue to provide assurance, taxation, accounting, and consulting services from locations in Singapore, China, and Malaysia, the firm said in a statement. 
 
CLA Global was founded in July by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP and wealth manager Evelyn Partners. The organisation offers financial outsourcing services and private client and wealth advisory platforms, serving more than 10,000 global clients in over 100 countries. 
 
Welcoming the move, Henry Tan, group CEO and chief innovation officer, CLA Global TS (formerly Nexia TS), said: “We are truly honoured to be the first independent network member to join CLA Global. We trust that our pool of Asia-centred business advisors will contribute greatly as the key gateway to Asia within an internally recognised accounting network.” 

“As a result of joining CLA Global we hope to expand our regional footprint in Asia with headquarters in Singapore. We are confident that our new connection will raise the bar of our services to offer more opportunities for our clients, people, and the community,” he continued.
  
Sancho Simmonds, co-CEO of CLA Global added: “Henry Tan and his team at Nexia TS have a well-established reputation providing accountancy services to clients in key markets in Asia. As we continue to receive inquiries from professional services firms across the globe who are interested in joining our network, Nexia TS illustrates the high quality of organisations we are able to attract as members.”
