Hong Kong Based Accounting, Tax & Corporate Services Firm Brings European Business into the Asia Pacific region
Hong Kong, 22nd April, 2019- Stefano Passarello came to Hong Kong from his native Italy in 2005 seeking opportunity in the accountancy field and eventually decided to found his own accountancy business. The business blossomed and grew over the years and caught the eye of Hawksford Group who acquired it and retained him as their Managing Director.
The small business that Passarello founded a decade and a half back has grown to encompass ten global offices spanning continents, serving more than fifteen hundred clients. “I am glad to have been able to bring business to the Asia Pacific region. Hong Kong is home now and I am excited to be a part of its growth history.” Says Passarello.
As far as his business philosophy is concerned, Passarello is a big fan of value investment and acknowledges Benjamin Graham as his guru. In fact he is quite involved in sharing his business expertise with fledgling entrepreneurs. An example of this is the STARTIT.asia launched by him in 2012. This is a startup program initiated with the help of Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong, Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macau, the Innovative Enterprise Incubator of the Politecnico of Torino(13P) and Intesa Sanpaolo Bank. The aim of this program is to encourage Italian startups to set up base in the Hong Kong region and grow in Asia Pacific.
Going forward, Passarello is confident that the Asia Pacific region will witness exponential growth on the account of it being a favourable international trade and business destination. He is sure that his firm will continue to play a role in facilitating this growth and in the process to scale up to much higher levels than it has in the times ahead.
Passarello, besides mentoring multiple startups is also a serial entrepreneur in “business having an impact on society”, as he describes in his guidelines to investment: “I will only commit capital to projects that will leave a positive trace to society”.
