“Kalaro” is a Filipino term that conveys a sense of community and teamwork
Meet Keno
Managing Director and Founder
Born and raised in the Philippines, my parents took a leap of faith and migrated to the Lucky Country, Sydney, Australia.
As a proud Ryde local, I developed an interest in business and finance early in life, which led me to pursue accounting and build a career in the field.
With over 14 years' experience as a top-performing corporate tax specialist and chartered accountant at a Top 10 chartered accounting firm and an ASX20 company, I founded Kalaro Australia in 2025 to bring that experience directly to everyday Australians, entrepreneurs, and business owners who deserve the same calibre of tax and accounting support.

My difference
Starting a business is hard enough without the tax and compliance side to think about too. I take that off your plate, so you can focus on running your business and living your life.
I'm 100% Australian-based, no offshore processing, ever. Your return and your business advice are handled here in Australia, not outsourced overseas.
As a solo practice, you work directly with me on every matter. No handoffs to junior staff, no account managers in between. That means direct access to over 14 years of experience across public practice and corporate tax at an ASX-listed company.
