We've made the crossing ourselves.
Volpe Advisory is a cross-border strategy consultancy built by practitioners who have operated across the China · Hong Kong · Australia corridor — not consultants who studied it from the outside.
We exist because most advisory firms have never actually made the crossing. They sell research. We sell judgment.
Independent. Fee-only.
We are paid exclusively by our clients. We do not receive commissions, referral fees, or payments from partners, vendors, or third parties. Our advice is not shaped by what earns us the most — it is shaped by what is right for the business in front of us.

How we operate
PrinciplesWe don't manufacture deliverables to fill a brief. We tell you what we see, including when we think you're wrong, because that's the only thing worth paying for.
We don't hand over a strategy and disappear. We remain engaged until the approach is working — and we adjust when the market tells us to.
No commissions. No referral arrangements. No financial incentive to point you toward any particular vendor or partner. We are paid by you, and only by you.
The specialist network
Behind every engagement sits a network of 50+ masters-level specialists across finance, technology, marketing, and business strategy — drawn from China, Hong Kong, Russia, and Australia. This gives us genuine multi-disciplinary depth on any brief, without the overhead of a large firm.
Let's talk about the crossing.
Tell us where you are and where you want to go. We'll tell you if we're the right firm to help you get there.
