After years of working in the accounting industry, Lawrence Chai (30) decided to establish their own accounting firm, 3E Accounting, in Novena, Singapore.

His decision to open a business of their own was due to the discrepancy in service they noticed at some other firms in Singapore. The other accounting companies charged more for low quality financial services.

By offering clients with a list of services and solutions to choose from, 3E Accounting broke ground by becoming the first company in Singapore to take that route.
