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.”
