ISCA opens first professional services centre in Johor Bahru

This is the first of 10 such centres that it will launch in major cities worldwide by June 2025.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has launched its first Professional Services Centre in Johor Bahru (JB), which is located within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).

ISCA’s Professional Services (PS) Centre in Johor Bahru is the first of 10 such centres that it will launch in major cities worldwide by June 2025 to support the growth of businesses in their respective countries.

These centres mark a new joint partnership between ISCA and the following organisations, which are part of ISCA’s Professional Accountancy Hub: Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, Institute of Valuers and Appraisers, Singapore, Law Society of Singapore, Singapore Manufacturing Foundation, and Tax Academy of Singapore.

ISCA’s PS Centre in Johor Bahru will serve as a conduit to promote the expansion and availability of professional services such as accounting, sustainability, legal, business valuation, taxation, and other corporate services to meet the needs of Singaporean businesses seeking to expand in Malaysia and vice versa.

In addition, it will help to foster cross-border partnerships and drive the development of accounting talent in both countries.

ISCA will also be forming partnerships with local universities based in Malaysia (Sunway TES College, University of Reading Malaysia, and the University of Southampton Malaysia) to create pathways for their students to pursue the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ), through the provision of resources, learning support, as well as scholarships.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
