James Steele-Perkins

I lead our Client Asset financial services team. I have over 24 years' experience working in the financial services sector, providing audit, assurance and advisory services to a broad range of regulated firms.

I've specialised in client asset regulation for over a decade. My career has included working with firms in administration, performing forensic and skilled person reviews for the FCA and a secondment to the FCA's client asset supervisory team in 2010. This gives me a uniquely practical perspective on how the regulator thinks about client assets.

I'm a qualified accountant with the ICAEW and I enjoy working with clients to navigate the complexities of CASS regulation.
