TGS Global Network is a world-wide organisation of professional accounting and tax firms, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity. TGS Global Limited is an English company limited by guarantee which co-ordinates the international activities of the TGS Global Network organisation.
TGS has been set up to provide an international network, for forward thinking, internationally minded, dynamic and entrepreneurial accounting and tax firms around the world. This is not a network with the highest ranking or the most member firms as its No.1 target. Instead, TGS is a network built on the highest quality standards and professional services, with truly involved and dynamic firms that recognize the value of the global marketplace. TGS Global is a network that both member firms and clients can rely on to add value to their business, and it is an exciting opportunity for forward looking firms.
Currently, TGS global network covers most of the G20 countries, including China, US, UK, France, Germany, Singapore and etc. Further, it is expected that the TGS network will extend to other significant “key” countries in next one or two years.
The advantages of working with the TGS global network can be summarised as follows:
▪ International coordination of work: All international engagement teams will be supported by the TGS Global Network Executive Office which has a key function to provide support in the smooth running of international assignments — assuring clients a coordinated approach throughout assignments, including meeting deadlines and providing quality work products.
▪ Partner-led involvement:Companies engaging accounting/tax firms are in substance engaging the relevant professionals. That is why the TGS Global Network emphasizes that all client engagements should be led by our partners at the clients’ locations.
▪ Continuity of engagement teams: TGS member firms endeavour to ensure that the team you meet as a prospective client will be the same team that will provide the actual services to you. Further, every effort is made to keep the stability of our engagement team from year to year, particularly for senior level professionals.
▪ Seamless services: Whilst the TGS member firms remain legally independent, the TGS group maintains its cohesiveness through its international client business activities, a common identity, continuous communication and regular TGS global or regional technical conferences. Through such efforts, our clients can receive seamless services.
▪ Reasonable service fees: As you will see more details in this brochure, TGS member firms offer a wide range of services, resources, and experts that are similar the “Big 4” international accounting firms, but at more reasonable fee levels.
In summary, our goal is to make your life easier. With our flexible approach, we are able to offer clients adequate but necessary support as they require. Through the regular and on-going interaction between our partners/staff of the TGS member firms and clients, year-end fee surprises or delay issues can be avoided.
