The story of TNG

TNG Group

True North Group (TNG) was established in 1990 by Marc Bruce, an Australian Chartered Accountant, together with his father Ian Bruce. Based in Sydney, the firm grew rapidly, reaching the Top 50 in Australia, and in 1999 Business Review Weekly ranked it Australia’s #1 fastest growing firm. Marc pursued a multi-disciplinary practice approach, with innovative tools and systems developed in-house, and the firm grew internationally.

Other firms asked to learn from that success. A training program was born for progressive accountants who wanted to create or strengthen a Business Consulting division: the Focus Business Advisor program, with the Strategic Planning module as its flagship. Over 18 years it was adopted by hundreds of accounting firms in 8 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.

TNG Global then became an online community of independent accountants who shared ideas and experience to build better practices. Our guiding word was Kaizen, the Japanese word for continuous improvement.
