Adam heads our client assets, prudential and fractional CFO practice. He advises FCA-regulated firms on client money and the safeguarding of client assets, the ICARA process, regulatory reporting and audit remediation, and takes interim finance leadership roles where a firm needs senior capability without a permanent hire.

He has been the senior individual responsible for CASS at five FCA-regulated firms, including Cantor Index and FXCM and chaired the CASS committee at three.

Adam is an ACCA qualified accountant with ten years in practice and almost 30 years’ experience in regulated firms, where he has held approved roles as CFO, director and CEO. At IKON he was CFO and a member of the board, and led the firm out of a voluntary requirement (VREQ) and back to full permissions. At Britannia Global Markets he brought the finance function in-house from a fully outsourced model and, as CEO of Trivepro from 2021 to 2024, turned a loss-making CFD-only business into a profitable multi-asset institutional broker.

Since 2024, his consulting work has included remediating CASS frameworks following unsatisfactory audit opinions, building client asset frameworks for fixed income and digital asset launches, rewriting ICARAs and the stress and reverse stress testing behind them, reviewing K-factor methodology and regulatory returns, and supporting MiCAR and VASP licence applications.
