International Business Services — Australia & Singapore

One firm, both jurisdictions. Full-suite accounting, tax, and advisory across Australia and Singapore.

Most Australian businesses expanding into Singapore end up with two separate accounting firms, two separate sets of advice, and a gap in the middle where the real structuring questions live. Local Knowledge eliminates that gap.

We offer the complete suite of accounting, taxation, and advisory services in both Australia and Singapore — from company incorporation through ACRA, DTA structuring to prevent double taxation, transfer pricing documentation, Employment Pass support, GST coordination across both jurisdictions, and ongoing compliance. Every engagement is managed by Graham Chee FCPA, with direct knowledge of both regulatory environments.

The CPA Australia–ISCA Mutual Recognition Agreement and the Singapore-Australia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) underpin this practice — giving our clients the benefit of recognised qualifications and preferential market access in both countries. Singapore's 17% corporate tax rate, zero capital gains tax, and territorial tax system create genuine structuring opportunities for Australian businesses willing to establish a real presence.
