About Us

Partnership beyond the numbers.

AGPT Accounting and Business Consultancy is a general professional partnership officially registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, established on July 1, 2015. The firm was born from the shared vision of four Certified Public Accountants who had been working independently before coming together. Their goal was to bring accounting and tax services closer to small and medium-sized business owners in Legazpi City, Albay and across the Bicol region. AGPT offers a wide range of services focused on quality, cost-efficiency, value, and client satisfaction. These principles are reflected in their tagline: "Partnership beyond the numbers."
