As a Partner leading across both Business Process Outsourcing and Tax Advisory at Accru Felsers, Jake draws on his depth of experience to deliver solutions that span daily operational management through to complex tax structuring.
Jake’s clients range from Australian owner-managed businesses to large multinational groups and their local subsidiaries, with a particular focus in Investment funds, and foreign-owned enterprises.
