Jay Lo

Jay Lo is the Managing Partner of Grant Thornton Taiwan, based in Taipei, where he directs one of the island's most established assurance, tax and advisory practices. In recognition of his standing in the profession, he was named Accounting Services Expert of the Year in Taiwan at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards, an accolade that reflects both his personal reputation and the breadth of the firm he leads.

Grant Thornton Taiwan traces its roots to 1971 and became a member firm of Grant Thornton International in 1993, connecting its local expertise to a global organisation of more than 76,000 people across in excess of 150 countries. From four offices, the Taiwan practice fields over 210 professional staff, including eleven partners, giving it the scale to serve substantial domestic groups and inbound multinationals alike while retaining the responsiveness of a closely managed partnership.

As Managing Partner, Jay Lo oversees a full-service offering that spans assurance and audit, including support for companies reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards, alongside a tax practice covering transfer pricing, tax audit defence and expatriate tax matters. The firm also provides outsourcing services such as bookkeeping, payroll and VAT return preparation, global mobility support covering work permits and employment assistance, corporate legal services, and advisory and mergers and acquisitions work. This integrated structure allows clients to draw on accounting, tax and transaction expertise from a single, coordinated team.

The practice is underpinned by strong quality and compliance credentials. Grant Thornton Taiwan achieved registration with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in April 2004, positioning it to audit entities with United States reporting obligations, and has held ISO certifications since 2010, adding ISO 27001 information security certification in 2016. These credentials are particularly valued by clients operating across borders and in regulated sectors where data protection and audit reliability are closely scrutinised.

Jay Lo and his colleagues advise organisations across a wide span of Taiwan's economy, with notable depth in electronics, manufacturing, information technology, financial institutions, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and hospitality. Working within the wider Grant Thornton network, the firm helps Taiwanese businesses expand internationally and assists foreign investors in navigating local accounting, tax and regulatory requirements. His recognition as Accounting Services Expert of the Year in Taiwan underlines a career built on technical rigour, sector insight and a commitment to guiding clients through an increasingly complex financial and regulatory environment.
