Hello, we’re a-pass

All our best work begins with an introduction. We’ve been helping businesses set up and operate in Hong Kong for over 10 years. We started in 2006 when founder Andrew, an accountant, did what all of us in this team do every day: go one step further.

As a boutique firm, we pride ourselves on our agility, attentiveness and personal approach. Our size belies our might. We have the experience and capabilities to meet the demands of all businesses, big or small.
