Our Story
From boutique practice to trusted audit firm
1992
Peter Tang & Associates founded
Our story began in 1992, when Dato' Peter Tang and Yeo Eng Thong, both alumni of what is now PwC, established Peter Tang & Associates. The boutique firm built its reputation in accounting, tax, and corporate finance, helping growing companies prepare for listing on the then KLSE Second Board.
As the practice grew, its parent group was restructured and listed on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange as Axcelasia Inc. The audit practice continued as YT Associates, with Yeo Eng Thong leading the transition and keeping the same experienced team and long-standing client relationships.
Today, YT Associates (AF1112) combines Big Four-trained leadership with the personal attention of a boutique practice. Our risk-focused, data-driven approach helps clients meet their reporting obligations while strengthening controls and decision-making.
Together, YT Associates and Peter Tang & Associates provide audit, corporate advisory, restructuring, accounting, and payroll services to Malaysian businesses.

Our Values
The principles behind every engagement
Integrity
Independence and objectivity are the foundation of every audit we sign. We tell clients what they need to hear, clearly and professionally.
Excellence
Our standards were shaped in Big Four practice. Every engagement, large or small, is planned, reviewed, and signed off with the same rigour.
Personal Attention
You work with a consistent team led by senior people who take the time to understand your business, your industry, and your people.
Partnership
We aim for long-term relationships, looking beyond this year's assignment to the reporting and strategic decisions your business faces next.
Forward Thinking
From e-invoicing to evolving reporting standards, we track regulatory change and use data analytics to work more efficiently and effectively.
Clarity
We explain our findings in plain language, with practical recommendations that management can understand and act on.
Leadership
The people behind your engagement
Every engagement is led by a partner or director, not handed down to a junior team. Between them, our leaders have trained at PwC, EY, and Price Waterhouse.
