About Clarus

Clarity · Strategy · Partnership

Clarus Advisory Partners is a Sydney-based finance and tax advisory firm for founder-led growing businesses. We bring together fractional CFO leadership, tax strategy, accounting and compliance, and cross-border advisory — so founders get senior financial thinking and strategic tax advisory in a single, joined-up conversation, rather than across disconnected advisers.

Our name says what we stand for: Clarus is Latin for clear. We help you see your business with clarity — the numbers, the structure, and the decisions ahead — and turn that clarity into confident action. Not just advisors, but long-term partners invested in where you're going.

Our Story

Most founders don't get stuck for lack of effort. They get stuck when the numbers, the structure, and the decisions stop lining up — when the accountant files the tax, the bookkeeper closes the month, and still no one is helping them see the road ahead. The pieces all exist, but no one connects them. And the founder carries that alone.

Clarus Advisory Partners was built to close that gap.

We're a firm founded by two complementary specialists - a strategic finance partner and a tax strategist — working as one team.

Meet The Founder

Vicky Fei Dong

Co-Founder, Fractional CFO

Vicky grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, and learned early that a business's growth often comes down to one thing: whether the founder can see the way ahead and make the right call when it matters. With a background spanning economics and finance, large corporates and small businesses, and domestic and international markets, she now works as a senior fractional CFO to founder-led companies.

Her focus is the strategic side of the finance function — financial health diagnostics, roadmaps, budgeting and forecasting, KPI and performance cadence, cash flow and capital planning, and readiness for equity raises or exit. Vicky reads the numbers, the business, and the founder all at once.

She'll help you turn complexity into clear, confident action — as a thinking partner you can trust.

Chirag Gandhi

Co-Founder, Tax Strategist

An accountant by chance, but a tax strategist by choice. Over more than 15 years, Chirag has managed the financial health of 100+ small and medium businesses across manufacturing, property development, healthcare, IT consulting and fitness. He reads a business model fast — which means sharp, practical advice without a long ramp-up.

He also believes the accounting profession is overdue for change. Chirag builds his own AI tools to carry the heavy lifting of compliance and research, freeing the firm to spend its time where it matters: forward-looking tax strategy, asset protection, entity structuring, equity-raise readiness and tax-efficient exits.

For Chirag, managing tax is the baseline. Maximising a founder's potential is the point.
