Our History
In 1998, Jan Glas founded Quintus, an accounting firm dedicated to supporting international investors. This was the first company in what is today TPA Romania, an organization whose development has evolved alongside the growth of the Romanian economy. From a local accounting services provider, TPA Romania has grown into one of Romania’s leading firms offering tax advisory, accounting, audit, legal advisory, and business consulting services.
A defining milestone in this journey was 2007, when Quintus joined the Vienna-based TPA Group, integrating its local expertise into one of the leading professional services networks in Central and South-Eastern Europe.
Today, TPA Romania brings together more than 150 professionals across its offices in Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca and is part of a regional network of over 2,100 specialists in 12 countries. The firm provides integrated services to both local and international clients across a broad range of industries, including real estate, construction, renewable energy, information technology, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation and logistics, and trade, as well as to private individuals and non-profit organizations.
Jan Glas – Founder
The story of TPA Romania is closely linked to the vision and entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Jan Glas. After an international career with one of the Big Four firms, he relocated to Romania in 1997 and, one year later, established Quintus with the objective of becoming a trusted partner for international investors entering the local market.
Following the integration into TPA Group, and serving as Managing Partner between 2007 and 2023, Jan played a pivotal role in the growth of TPA Romania, strengthening the Group’s reputation in the Romanian market and fostering the development of a new generation of partners. The values that shaped this journey, namely professionalism, integrity, proactivity, and the commitment to building long-term partnerships, continue to define the identity and culture of TPA Romania today.
