I regularly assist foreign businesses and investors entering the Australian market, providing initial structuring and setup advice, strategic tax planning, ongoing operational advice, and fully outsourced accounting, taxation, and corporate secretarial compliance services.

I advise Australian and foreign-owned businesses across a range of industries, including hotels and hospitality, financial and professional services, start-ups, information technology, property and construction, and wholesale and distribution.

I have also developed expertise in providing strategic business and outsourcing services to major hotel and hospitality groups in Australia. My experience includes assisting these clients with due diligence assignments, cross-border structuring advice, funding negotiations, post-acquisition settlement reviews, and outsourced CFO services involving responsibility for full finance and compliance functions.

I am fluent in English, Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian. My multilingual skills and ability to bridge language and cultural barriers have been invaluable when working with businesses from around the world, including China, the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

My experience includes:

• assisting with the successful acquisition of a major five-star hotel for A$85m
