As one of the 40 accounting firms in China holding the license to audit securities, GP CPAs has a strong focus on capital market services and ranks in the top 10 in Chinese IPO services. In the past, GP CPAs has successfully facilitated IPOs for over 80 Chinese mainboard/GEM board companies and over 100 National Equities Exchange and Quotations companies.
GP CPAs delivers a full range of audit & assurance, tax and specialist advisory services to listed companies, state-owned enterprises, privately-owned, family-owned, not-for-profit organisations and public sector clients. GP also has the largest tax advisory services in South China and its tax division achieved AAAA ranking, regarded as a top 2% tax professional service provider in China.
Clients come from all the major industry sectors including real estate and construction, food and beverage, hospitality and tourism, resources, education, healthcare, and asset management.
Mr JIANG Hongfeng, Managing Partner of GP CPAs LLP said: “It is a significant step towards the firm’s global strategy as it will allow GP CPAs to gain global experience and build up reputation internationally. On the other hand, existing and potential clients, domestically and internationally, can also benefit from its new role. GP CPAs insight into the local market is invaluable for foreign companies planning to operate in China, while local clients can tap into HLB International’s partner network through GP CPAs so as to explore opportunities for growth globally. “
