Calibre Business Advisory
Clarity, Expertise and Options
Our team has global and local expertise, but will also invest considerable time into getting to know you and your business in order to deliver tailored, reliable solutions.
Calibre Business Advisory is a firm motivated toward providing solutions that open doors for you when other accounting firms tell you that your options are limited.
Top tax accountants should be able to deal with all and any complex issues that may arise. Calibre Business Advisory is proactive, not simply reactive. Calibre’s tax accountants build a long-term partnership with you to mitigate risks and drive growth.
Our Services
Calibre Business Advisory was founded with this difference in mind. Run by business advisors and with over 20 years of experience in China, Korea, Vietnam and the entire Asia-Pacific, our business advisors aim to separate themselves from the rest by offering added value in three significant ways across all our services.
Calibre’s business advisors in Sydney go the extra mile. We spend hours with you – on the phone, in your offices and warehouses, and with your staff and contractors. We understand an enterprise from the owners’, managers’, and shareholders’ points of view. Our business advisors and Virtual CFOs work very hard to see your optimum outcomes as their own.
Our tax accountants have been chosen not only for their technical nuance, but their communication expertise – we offer you an array of compliance choices (and even options with tax audits) in plain language.
Your concerns may be broader than just compliance or tax audit and assurance. Smart planning creates options for growth. The top tax accountants will therefore present you with choices that other tax accountants are unable to provide. Calibre Business Advisory has a team of tax accountants that look to structure your planning in a way that can often provide surprising options. A long-term relationship with Calibre’s tax accountants can bolster your business by providing additional funds, rebates, offsets, incentives, grants, and finances.
The federal and state governments have set up small business grants, rebates, and offsets to drive the Australian economy forward. Whether you are starting out, restructuring, or simply looking to increase your revenue, it would be remiss of you not to explore opportunities for additional funding. Calibre Business Advisory has successfully accessed numerous small business grants in NSW for businesses across a variety of industries.
You not only need to know how to apply for these small business grants, but also how to include them in your overall finance and tax strategy. Calibre’s business advisors know how to successfully apply for small business grants and help you integrate the funds into your business strategy.

Vietnam is arguably the number one emerging economy of Asia. It stands where China did 20 years ago – ready to surge ahead, and take savvy investors ahead into new levels of growth. Foreign investors have flocked to Vietnam of late, drawn to low costs, abundance of labour, and increasingly skilled workforce. At Calibre, we can help tap into this growth with an informed tax and business plan.
We have had the opportunity to engage in business and strategic planning in a number of sectors, including Vietnamese education and agribusiness. This has helped us successfully advise foreign investors in setting up and remaining compliant in these industries. Our entity structure set-up services have been tailored to the nuances of Vietnamese regulations. We understand the nexus of Australian-Vietnamese tax and business regulatory systems, and so have given our clients more than just routine tax or Asian business guidance. We have provided Vietnamese specific advice on compliance, tax, and strategy in order to secure the best possible pathways for success.
The end result is that we boast a team with a unique grasp of what is needed for international investors to be successful in Vietnam, and what is need for Vietnamese investors to be compliant and profitable in Australia.
Our Services in Vietnam:
Structuring advice for entities in both Australia and Vietnam
Legal and tax advice on repatriating funds and protecting IP
Statutory direction on getting a business license, an office, or a business partner in Vietnam

Singapore is a thriving global financial hub with transparent and well established financial and legal infrastructure. Singapore prides itself on its stability and security.
Singapore and Australia joint agreements reduce the overall tax burden on citizens of both countries by eliminating the double taxation of income between the two countries.
This is especially relevant for Singapore businesses who intend to set up operations in Australia or returning citizens with personal or business income derived from Singapore. Whether you intend to establish a business in Australia or plan to return to Australia, Calibre can assist you in setting up a structure that is right for you and/or your business.
