A firm built on expertise
PlusAccountants was founded in 2011 by RA Mr. Anthony Croes, a highly-driven professional with over 30 years of experience in accounting and business. A former partner at one of the "Big Four" global firms, Mr. Croes saw that many clients were looking for something new. With the rise of new technologies and growing competition, he established PlusAccountants and introduced the innovative “Plus Service Ingredients” concept to address these evolving needs.
Today, as “PlusGroup”, we are a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes, delivering audits, accounting, tax compliance, payroll, and HR services through our three specialized divisions—PlusAccountants, PlusAccounting, and PlusTax & Payroll—each driven by technology and a customer-centric approach.
