About Terra Advisory Services

Who Is Terra Advisory Services?

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

Terra Advisory Services is an ACRA-registered filing agent (FA20122913) based in Singapore, specializing in company incorporation, accounting, corporate tax, compliance, and immigration services. Serving Singapore and foreign companies since 2012, we have over 14 years of industry experience. We also support business expansion into Malaysia through our affiliate, JT & CY Advisory.

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). The firm works with clients across industries including technology, professional services, trading, manufacturing and financial services.

With 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.

Professional Qualifications — Malaysia Team

The Malaysia affiliate, JT & CY Advisory, is led by CY Sim, who has been in professional practice since 2017. CY Sim holds two professional designations:

• 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%.

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. Terra Advisory Services and JT & CY Advisory handle this entire process together — from Sdn Bhd registration through to ongoing compliance in both jurisdictions.
