About Richard

Richard brings fifteen years of thoughful partnership to his role as Partner of Audit & Assurance and Corporate Advisory (Asia) at Nexia Melbourne.

Let’s just come right out and say it: audit and assurance aren’t typically fields that inspire excitement. But Richard believes they should be. Because financial transparency isn’t just about compliance, it’s about creating foundations for authentic business growth and cross-cultural understanding.

His bilingual fluency and experience across premier global firms enable him to bridge Western financial frameworks with Asian business philosophies. As steward of the Asian Advisory Service, he creates meaningful connections across Australia, New Zealand, China, and the broader Asian region – transforming financial oversight from a compliance exercise into a cornerstone of organisational integrity and vision.
