We’re structured as a network of member firms, connected through membership in TpG International Limited.
TPG member firms operate locally in countries around the world. But by working together, member firms also comprise a vigorous global network. This structure provides TpG firms with the flexibility to operate simultaneously as the most local and the most global of businesses. As a direct result, we are able to serve a broad range of clients: large, publicly-listed multinationals; small, private, domestic companies; and almost everything in between.
In most parts of the world, the right to practice accountancy is granted only to national firms in which locally qualified professionals have majority or full ownership. Consequently, TpG member firms are locally owned and managed. But local ownership also confers two additional strengths: a deep understanding of local markets; and the sense of individual responsibility and initiative that comes from having a stake in the practice.
The member firms are linked together through membership in TpG International a UK membership-based company. TpG Intl does not provide services to clients. Its primary activities are to: identify broad market opportunities and develop associated strategies; strengthen TpG’s internal product, skill, and knowledge networks; promote the TpG brand; and develop and work for the consistent application of common risk and quality standards by member firms, including compliance with independence processes.
Member firms are also part of regional groups that promote cooperation and application of common strategies, risk, and quality standards.
The unit of organisation most critical to our success is also its smallest and most fluid: the client engagement team. Much of the decision-making authority relating to how client needs are met rests with engagement teams. The team also has primary responsibility for building and expanding client relationships. And the team is where much of our people’s professional development occurs and TpG’s culture is passed to younger professionals. As a consequence, each piece of the TpG network shares a single, overriding aim: to help engagement teams connect with clients, win work, and mentor the next generation of leaders.
