Greenfield Expansion into South Korea Extends Acclime's Regional Footprint

SEOUL, South Korea, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclime, a leading global provider of business advisory, tax, and governance services, is proud to announce its greenfield expansion into South Korea with the launch of Acclime Korea, a newly established entity. This greenfield expansion, driven by strong client demand, reinforces Acclime's commitment to delivering seamless, high-quality cross-border business solutions across the region with a fully organic, ground-up presence.

Acclime has teamed up with industry expert HyunJung (Joann) Kong, an international tax adviser and CPA, and Hwa Sook Lee, international tax professional and CTA, to form the nucleus of Acclime's presence in Korea. Both have vast experience assisting Korean clients expand abroad as well as helping foreign clients enter and manage the complexities of the Korean market. The combination of their networks and client base with Acclime's platform in the rest of the APAC & Middle East markets will provide a compelling proposition to clients with a Korean connection.

South Korea's dynamic economy and strong outward investment trends make it one of Asia's most strategically significant markets. The nation is also a primary destination for international businesses looking to establish a foothold in the region. Acclime's direct presence in South Korea enhances its ability to support Korean companies expanding overseas and international clients entering the Korean market.

By incorporating South Korea into its regional platform, Acclime strengthens its capacity to offer truly integrated services across Asia, supporting clients at every stage of their regional growth.

Izzy Silva, Group CEO of Acclime, commented: "South Korea is an important market for us. Our greenfield approach to launching Acclime Korea showcases the flexibility of our expansion strategies and demonstrates our ability to deploy diverse market entry approaches tailored to each jurisdiction's unique requirements. We are delighted to team up with Joann and Hwa Sook to launch Acclime into Korea. This enables us to deliver even greater value to our clients, whether they are looking to grow into Korea or from Korea into the rest of Asia and beyond. This expansion underscores our commitment to building a regional platform that simplifies doing business across borders."

Joann Kong, Director of Acclime Korea, added: "We are proud to officially become part of the Acclime group at a time when Korea is playing an increasingly strategic role in regional business expansion. As a member of the Acclime network, we can now provide Korean clients with seamless access to markets across Asia and offer foreign investors the local expertise they need to succeed in Korea. We are excited to join a team of experienced professionals across the region and contribute to delivering truly integrated, cross-border solutions."

Going forward, Acclime will establish a dedicated office in Seoul, recruit local talent to grow its team, and fully integrate its Korean operations into the Acclime regional platform.
