Story

This firm was born out of a need to demystify the world of numbers. Mike Kalyaniwala came to Australia in 2000 to complete a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Monash University. His chosen path was to enter into the world of Management and Finance when Fate stepped in and turned that dream on its head. In 2001, while getting his taxes done, he was offered a job by the same accountant in the field of taxation. With nothing to lose and a lot to gain, he took up the offer and steadily learnt the ropes in the field of Australian Taxation and business structures while simultaneously completing his M.B.A.

Five years later, having seen how a Tax Practice grows from one person to 5, he realised this was what he was destined to do.

Another five years later, now having completed his CPA Australia certification, Mike was ready to take the next step and set up Caliyan Associates in 2011.

The mission was clear. The firm would offer what Mike called Transparent Taxation guidance and Demysitified Accounting to folk who rate accounting and tax next to a trip to the dentist. The world of taxation and presenting figures is vast and ever-changing. And Mike has been on that side of it. Now, he intends to not only present the figures at the end of ever year, but help the clients understand what they mean going forward. By getting clients to “Look Through Numbers”, you get them to understand what they point towards – Transparent Accounting!

The firm is growing at a phenomenal rate – getting widespread recommendations from businesses and individuals alike and has recently increased their scope of service to Self Managed Superannuation Funds ASIC company management.

While we celebrate our history, it’s the future that excites us. Join us on our journey.
