Accru Asia is a unique group of accounting firms with strong capabilities across Australia, Asia and beyond. We help businesses succeed in Asia-Pacific by providing the skills, strategies and multi-cultural team needed to navigate different business cultures and regulatory environments.
Consistency and quality throughout Asia
Accru Asia can provide your business with on-the-ground experts throughout Asia and Australia who meet high-quality, globally recognised standards of accounting practice. Our advisers combine local knowledge with a high level of consistency to smooth the implementation of your Asia-Pacific growth strategy.
85 years of international experience
With the global focus shifting from the West to the East and the trade bridge connecting Australia and Asia already in place, Accru has been at the forefront of advising Asia-Pacific clients. Accru in Sydney was established by a European in 1941 and we have been advising international businesses ever since. Accru is part of a global network of professional accounting firms and we have been using our Asian connections to help Australian and Asian clients invest, export and manufacture in the Asia-Pacific region.
Long-standing relationships throughout Asia
Our long-standing personal relationships across the Asia-Pacific differentiate us. Building trust is important in any market, especially so in Asia where business is more personal and based on longer-term connections. Our advisers have been working together for over 30 years and our trust has been built through delivering many successful outcomes for clients.
Multi-lingual, multi-cultural support
In Australia, our bilingual, first and second-generation accountants from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India and the Philippines bridge cultural and language gaps for clients. Together with our English-speaking advisers, they can help to streamline your global financial management and negotiations across various countries and parties.
Cross-border expertise
Accru Asia has all the specialist expertise required for cross-border business but, unlike other global networks, we can scale our services to small-to-medium business. Whether you are starting up in a new country, capital raising for international expansion or facing complex global tax issues, we can customise our services to your goals.
Recent Experience
Industrial Manufacturer, South Korea
Services provided: Accounting, Audit, Taxation
About this Engagement:
Beyond compliance, our partners have provided support in various areas, including an internal control review, tax audits, transfer pricing strategies, an analysis of the tax implications of relocating to a suburban area, and conducting due diligence for a merger.
Following their advisory on a merger, this client realised that the proposed merger would not yield the anticipated benefits and opted not to proceed. The insights gained from the due diligence process were instrumental in refining their strategic approach.
Business Owner, Australia
Services provided: Wealth Management, Superannuation
About this Engagement:
This Australian business owner moved permanently overseas for business reasons but decided to leave his investments in Australia due to its strong banking and financial system.
Accru in Sydney managed his long-term wealth strategy, superannuation and investments while also establishing an online trading platform so he could make trades and take advantage of shorter-term opportunities. This approach gave the client flexibility to invest in Australia and overseas, visibility and control of his investments and excellent tax outcomes, while simplifying his financial management.
Large Hotel Group Owner, Malaysia
Services provided: International Taxation, Business Advisory, Accounting
About this Engagement:
This international hotel group has been an Accru Sydney client for 17 years. During this time, we have maximised the benefits of their international tax arrangements and reduced their average tax rate across jurisdictions.
We completed the due diligence for a major hotel acquisition in Melbourne with a transaction value of over $200 million. We are currently advising on a large property development in a new Sydney waterfront suburb.
