About Ernst & Young in China

China is a vast market undergoing unprecedented changes, posing challenges and complexities even for those with significant experience of operating in China. At Ernst & Young, we draw upon our global and local knowledge to help you retain the confidence of investors, manage your risk, strengthen your controls, grasp opportunities and achieve your potential. Our experience in China dates back to 1981 when we were among the first international professional services networks to set up operations in mainland China. We offer Assurance, Tax, Transaction and Advisory services to many well-known Chinese companies and multinational companies operating in China.

We have 14 offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dalian, Wuhan, Chengdu, Tianjin, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Xiamen, Hong Kong and Macau. With over 8,500 people in China, we can pull the right resources to give you quality client service that will meet with your requirements.

China Overseas Investment Network

The current wave of globalization continues to transform the business landscape and impact companies around the world. China’s increasing economic presence on the world stage has undoubtedly played a part in this global trend. Whether Chinese companies expanding their footprint globally or investing overseas, their globalization strategies involve many challenges because of cultural differences, language barriers, financing difficulties and regulatory issues.

Our China Overseas Investment Network (COIN) links Ernst & Young professionals around the globe, facilitates collaboration, and provides consistent and coordinated services, to our clients with overseas investment from and into China. Building on the existing China Business Group in the Americas, EMEIA and Oceania areas, COIN has expanded our network in over 40 countries and territories around the world.

To learn more about the China Overseas Investment Network, please contact COIN Leader, Loletta Chow, or COIN Markets Team Director, Alex Lu.

COIN is part of Ernst & Young's commitment to provide seamless and high-quality client service, worldwide, to Chinese companies going overseas and doing business overseas. Our globally integrated structure enables us to deploy dedicated teams with strong local experience, and profound industry knowledge to provide seamless services to our clients.
