AG Singapore: An Award-Winning Mid-Tier Accounting Firm for SMEs

For growing businesses in Singapore, choosing between a large international firm and a small local practice can feel like an awkward gap to fill. AG Singapore, part of the Ackenting Group, positions itself squarely in that gap — a mid-tier firm offering the credentials of larger practices with pricing and service designed for SMEs.

What's Behind the Name

The firm's group name, Ackenting, is a deliberate combination of "innovation" and "accounting," reflecting a stated commitment to integrating technology into what can otherwise be a traditional, paperwork-heavy industry. AG describes its mission as impacting businesses with value, care, and passion, built on the belief that clients who feel genuinely cared for will help the business grow in turn. Its values are summed up in three words: Break Barrier (moving past traditional accounting norms), Fast (zero tolerance for delays), and Effective (straight-to-the-point, practical solutions).

Credentials That Matter

AG's team includes a Public Accountant registered with ACRA, a Chartered Accountant (Singapore), an ASEAN CPA, and a certified Internal Auditor, with leadership bringing over 10 years of Big 4 audit and accounting experience. The firm is recognised by ACRA, the Chartered Accountant (Singapore) designation, the Singapore Institute of Accredited Tax Professionals, the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, and the Certified Internal Auditor credential — a stack of professional recognitions that signals a level of rigour beyond a typical small bookkeeping shop.

Transparent, SME-Friendly Pricing

Unlike many accounting firms that keep pricing behind a "contact us" wall entirely, AG publishes starting rates for its core services. Bookkeeping and accounting services start from S$200 per month, with both fixed monthly rates and customised quotes available depending on business needs and reporting requirements. Compilation of an unaudited report starts from S$800, while accounting advisory work is quoted individually given how much it can vary by scope.

A Full Suite Beyond the Basics

Beyond bookkeeping and audit, AG offers company incorporation, corporate financing, financial reporting, GST services, payroll, corporate secretarial services, tax services, and winding up services — positioning itself as a one-stop shop rather than requiring clients to juggle multiple providers as their business needs evolve, from setup through to eventual closure if needed.

Recognition and Track Record

AG has served more than 1,000 clients since inception, spanning industries like logistics, construction, engineering, printing, and oil and gas, with clients across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Japan, South Korea, and further afield. The firm holds over 260 five-star Google reviews and a Trustindex verified badge, which requires a review score above 4.5 over the preceding 12 months. AG reports a 96.5% customer satisfaction rate and commits to a 24-hour response time for new enquiries.

The firm's accolades include being named Most Trusted Tax Service Provider in Singapore by APAC Headlines Magazine in 2020, receiving the Singapore 500 SME Award in 2018, and being named an OCBC Prestige Partner in 2024 — a status the firm notes matters because "nothing is better than having your accounts trusted by banks." AG is also a member of the IR GLOBAL professional services network, connecting it to more than 1,000 firms across over 155 countries, useful for clients with cross-border needs.
