Credentials
Twenty-two years at EY in London and Singapore, across the sectors where reporting is scrutinised most closely.
Experience highlights
Digital assets · Global
Led assurance work with global digital asset exchanges and custodians: the controls, processes and reporting required for businesses in a new asset class to withstand scrutiny from institutional investors, banks and regulators. Building credible finance where no playbook existed.
Practice leadership · Asia-Pacific
From a low, fragmented base to a structured revenue contributor across the region, designing its internal finance machinery from scratch: revenue and cost tracking, budgeting, pipeline management and headcount planning. The same build-a-function-that-scales problem founders and owners face, executed inside a Big 4.
Financial services · London & Singapore
Trained and promoted through EY's Financial Services team, working on external audits of some of the world's largest banks and trading institutions: environments where reporting standards, controls and deadlines are non-negotiable.
Funds · Singapore
Served VC funds, fund managers and investment vehicles in Singapore: the reporting, valuation oversight and governance that institutional LPs expect. Useful preparation for knowing exactly what your future investors will look for.
Payments · Regional
External audits of cross-border payments businesses: high transaction volumes, multiple currencies and jurisdictions, client money safeguarding, and the regulatory reporting that licensed payments firms must get right every time.
Commodities · Singapore
External audits of commodity traders: physical supply chains, inventory in transit, complex valuations of open positions, derivatives and hedge accounting, and the trading strategies behind them. Businesses where the numbers move daily and the controls have to keep up.
Transactions
Due diligence for acquirers and investors: the discipline of finding, quickly, what matters in a target's numbers. Now applied in reverse, preparing companies to be looked at.
What clients say
“What I really appreciated about Adam was that he didn't just focus on getting the numbers right. He took the time to understand our business, helped us make sense of the financials, and brought some really useful insights along the way. Whenever we ran into an issue, he was proactive about finding a solution rather than just pointing out the problem. He's knowledgeable, easy to work with, and someone we're looking forward to working with again next year. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone who knows their stuff and can get things done.”
