This page is factual, not promotional. Every row is grounded in public evidence — CPA Australia membership records, IP Australia trade-mark files, award finalist lists, and the Asian Masters Fund prospectus. We describe our own position. We describe a typical suburban practice generically — no competitor is named or compared by name.
Graham Chee FCPA personally signs every return and every piece of written advice that leaves this practice. There is no junior-staff tax desk — the person reviewing your file is the person engaging with the ATO on it.
Sign-off is spread across multiple tax agents and junior preparers. Partner review is typically triggered only when a file is flagged as high-risk or above a dollar threshold.
Continuous CPA Australia member since 1986. Advanced to Fellow (FCPA) in November 2005 — a status reserved for CPAs with at least 15 years of senior experience and documented contribution to the profession. 40 years continuous membership in 2026.
Principal tenure is typically 5–15 years post-qualification. Fellowship (FCPA) status is considerably less common — most suburban practices are staffed by CPAs or CAs without Fellowship.
Prior roles: Goldman Sachs (Regulatory Compliance, Singapore & Hong Kong), Merrill Lynch (Operations, Due Diligence & Investment Structures, Japan & Sydney), and Merrill Lynch HSBC (Head of Sales Alliances). Tier-1 investment-bank training in two of Asia’s most demanding regulatory jurisdictions.
Career typically spent inside domestic suburban or mid-tier practices. Limited exposure to cross-border compliance frameworks or institutional investment-bank operations.
FCPA (Fellow, CPA Australia) · GRCP (Governance, Risk & Compliance Professional) · GRCA (Governance, Risk & Compliance Auditor) · AFSL holder via Global Mutual Funds Pty Ltd. Active designations spanning accounting, governance and financial services.
Usually a single designation — CPA or CA. Governance, risk & compliance and AFSL authorisations are uncommon in suburban practice.
AFSL authorised to advise on and deal in a range of financial service products in asset management and investment banking. Asian Masters Fund (IPO December 2007) returned +29% AUD versus MSCI Asia Pacific (ex Japan) to 31 December 2009. Live private-equity due-diligence and underwriting experience on rules-based software investments.
Focus is tax returns, BAS and bookkeeping. Capital-raising, fund structuring and investment due diligence are typically referred out to third-party advisers.
Three published trade-mark outcomes on the practice file, including MyMoney® (TM 819051, TM 1627186, TM 2147662), INVESTOR VIEW (TM 812479 — defeated opposition by Prudential) and Qoney (TM 1870584 — [2020] ATMO 142, defeated opposition by Qantas Airways).
No in-house IP or trade-mark capability. Clients are typically referred to external trade-mark attorneys at additional cost.
Australian Accounting Awards finalist in seven consecutive years (2019–2025). Australian Fintech Awards finalist in 2018, 2019 (Accounting Innovator of the Year) and 2021 (AI in RegTech — MyMoney Australia).
Few suburban practices submit to or are shortlisted by the Australian Accounting Awards or the Australian Fintech Awards in any given year.
Every engagement is signed by Graham personally. No junior desk. No outsourced advice.
