Lee & Hew is a Singapore-headquartered professional services firm delivering Audit, Accounting, Tax and Company Secretarial services to businesses navigating an increasingly complex and regulated environment. With a second office in Kuala Lumpur, the firm serves clients across Singapore, Malaysia and, through its global network, well beyond.
Lee & Hew's story began in 2013 as Lee & Hew Services Pte. Ltd., focused on Accounting, Tax and Company Secretarial work. Growth came quickly as clients recognised the value the firm delivered. In 2014, the firm took the next step, being granted an Audit Licence by ACRA — Singapore's regulator for auditors, public accountants and companies — and launching its Public Practice as Lee & Hew Public Accounting Corporation. Led by its founders and grounded in technical competence, integrity and a service-first attitude, the firm has continued to grow since.
Lee & Hew positions itself as a full-service provider covering the full spectrum of compliance obligations: Accounting & Bookkeeping, Audit & Assurance, Tax & GST, Company Secretarial, Regulatory Compliance, Payroll & HR, and Complex Accounting Advisory & Operations for companies wrestling with evolving FRS/IFRS standards. Beyond these core offerings, the firm also provides IT Security and Advisory, Valuation, and Registered Address/Virtual Office services.
A standout part of the business is its dedicated Financial Services Practice, built specifically for fund managers, family offices, fintech companies, trusts, investment companies, securities and brokerage firms, payment services providers, financial advisers, insurance brokers, underwriters, custodians and banks. This is paired with deep sector experience across manufacturing and industrial services, retail, FMCG and industrial trading, shipping, logistics and transportation, real estate, and group audits for holding companies.
