About Terra Advisory Services — Singapore Accounting, Incorporation & Immigration Since 2012

Who Is Terra Advisory Services?

Singapore-registered. ACRA-licensed. Operating across Singapore and Malaysia since 2012.

Terra Advisory Services is a Singapore-registered accounting and corporate services firm that helps entrepreneurs, SMEs and foreign business owners set up, run and grow companies in Singapore and Malaysia. In short, Terra handles the compliance work so clients can focus on the business.

Since 2012, Terra Advisory Services has supported hundreds of companies — from first-time founders incorporating a Singapore Pte Ltd to established groups expanding into Malaysia via the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). Furthermore, the firm works with clients across industries including technology, professional services, trading, manufacturing and financial services.

As a result of more than a decade in practice, Terra understands what Singapore regulators expect — and how to keep your company fully compliant without surprises.

What Terra Advisory Services Does

Six core services. One firm. One point of contact for Singapore and Malaysia compliance.

Our Credentials — What They Mean for You

ACRA registration is not optional for a filing agent. Here are the specifics.

Terra Advisory Services is officially registered with ACRA as a licensed filing agent. In other words, the firm is authorised to submit ACRA filings — annual returns, incorporation documents and corporate changes — on your behalf. This is a legal requirement, not a marketing claim.

Professional Qualifications — Malaysia Team

The Malaysia affiliate, JT & CY Advisory, is led by CY Sim, who has been in professional practice since 2017. Specifically, CY Sim holds two professional designations that matter in cross-border work:

• FCCA — Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (globally recognised)
• MIA — Member of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (required to sign off on Malaysia accounts)

Singapore and Malaysia — Why Terra Advisory Services Covers Both

More Singapore companies are setting up in Malaysia. Terra and JT & CY Advisory make that transition straightforward.

In 2026, the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is the most significant cross-border business development in Southeast Asia. It offers qualifying companies a 5% corporate tax rate on Johor operations for 10 years — compared to Malaysia's standard 24%.

However, applying for JS-SEZ status requires setting up a Malaysia Sdn Bhd, obtaining IRDA approval, and managing a dual-entity structure across two tax systems. That said, Terra Advisory Services and JT & CY Advisory handle this entire process together — from Sdn Bhd registration through to ongoing compliance in both jurisdictions.
