Meet Keno
Managing Director and Founder
Born and raised in the Philippines, Keno’s parents took a leap of faith and migrated to the Lucky Country - Sydney, Australia.
As a proud Ryde local, Keno developed a passion for business and finance early in life - an interest that led him to pursue accounting and build a rewarding 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, Keno founded Kalaro Australia in 2025.

Our difference
Starting a business is hard enough without the tax and compliance side to think about too. Kalaro Australia takes that off your plate, so you can focus on running your business and living your life.
We're 100% Australian-based - no offshore processing, ever. Your return, your business advice: 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.
