Founded by Austrian born Gerhard Felser in 1941, we have helped many clients from Austria, Germany and Switzerland grow successful Australian businesses for over 78 years. Our experience working with German-speaking inbound clients means we are better able to solve business problems, manage risks and provide insights that enable your business to thrive in Australia.
Business beyond borders? That’s our forte.
Our clients include many family-owned companies from the German-speaking areas of Europe with international operations. They are especially active in technology, science, manufacturing, trade, distribution, ecommerce, media and real estate services. We also advise many other international businesses from the UK, European Union and Scandinavia.
German-Australian partnerships
Accru Felsers enjoys a long partnership with Roedl & Partner public accountants in Germany who have affiliate offices throughout Europe. Like Roedl firms, we understand the concerns and requirements of German family-owned companies with international operations. Our clients appreciate that and see us as a reliable partner for their Australian audit, outsourced accounting, international tax and business advisory needs.
We also have strong relationships with InterGest business process outsourcing specialists, the Austrian Trade Office and the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Sydney. As a result, we can offer German-speaking businesses useful contacts to German advisors in Europe, Australia and globally.
