Kuala Lumpur, 3 September 2025 – YYC, a home-grown Malaysian accounting and business advisory firm backed by SeaTown Private Capital Fund, announced its first footprint in Hong Kong through a strategic partnership with The Asian Business Partner Co Ltd (ABP). SeaTown Private Capital Fund is managed by SeaTown Holdings International, a leading Asia-focused alternative investment firm owned by Seviora, Temasek’s asset management group. ABP is a respected Hong Kong–based advisory firm with nearly four decades of experience serving international clients.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in YYC’s regional growth journey. With established operations in Malaysia and Singapore, YYC is now extending its reach to Hong Kong—one of Asia’s most dynamic financial and commercial hubs—to help businesses establish, scale, and thrive.
The timing is pivotal: more Malaysian and Singaporean entrepreneurs are looking to expand into Hong Kong, while international businesses increasingly view Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong as a combined gateway to the Asia-Pacific region. Through this partnership, clients will benefit from YYC’s expertise in accounting, taxation, and corporate advisory, complemented by ABP’s strong capabilities in Hong Kong corporate services, payroll administration, and family office advisory.
“This move capitalizes on the growing trend of businesses and high-net-worth individuals simultaneously establishing a presence in Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong to preserve and grow their wealth across these financial centres. With our established presence in Singapore and Malaysia, plus our partnership with ABP, we are uniquely positioned to serve clients across these three jurisdictions with seamless, integrated services,” said Datin Yap Shin Siang, Group Chief Executive Officer of YYC.
She added, “Hong Kong’s family office landscape is experiencing remarkable growth, with a projected 43% increase in 2025 driven by government initiatives and the city’s unique advantages as a global financial hub. Partnering with ABP, which has been serving international clients since 1997, allows us to provide clients with comprehensive solutions to expand and succeed in Hong Kong.”
Founded by Katherine Huang, a seasoned advisor with over 40 years of experience in corporate growth, restructuring, and cross-border advisory, ABP has built a strong reputation serving multinational companies, family offices, and businesses across industries. Today, Matthew Tsui, Managing Director of ABP, continues to lead ABP’s mission of delivering tailored solutions to clients navigating Asia’s competitive markets.
“We are delighted to partner with YYC, a firm that shares our values and dedication to empowering entrepreneurs,” said Matthew Tsui, Managing Director of ABP. “Together, we aim to provide Malaysian and Singaporean businesses with the clarity, confidence, and connections they need to succeed in Hong Kong and across the region.”
The YYC–ABP partnership will focus on providing clients with:
- Company incorporation and compliance services in Hong Kong.
- Cross-border accounting, tax, and advisory solutions.
- Talent, payroll, and immigration support for businesses setting up operations.
- Family office advisory for high-net-worth individuals expanding their wealth management footprint.
This strategic collaboration underscores YYC’s vision of becoming a trusted partner for Asia Pacific based businesses in their regional and global growth journey.
