We have been working with the Big 4 accounting firms consistently for the last 25 years, and we currently provide financial advice and investment management services to over 300 current and former Partners at KPMG, across the UK.
This gives us an intimate knowledge of the firm’s internal arrangements and an excellent working relationship with their Partner Independence team and Partnership Tax team.
Our knowledge and track record of KPMG independence matters means that we have developed a KPMG White List of pre-approved and centrally monitored investments, available to all KPMG UK partners and directors. This should eliminate the need for KICS updates within a Saunderson House portfolio with only one ‘Saunderson House’ entry required and furthermore, ensure that your investments will always be fully compliant with independence requirements, allowing you to invest safely without fear of breaching any rules.
Meet our experts:
Olly Cheng
Olly started at Saunderson House in 2008, following the completion of an M.Phil in Social and Economic History from the University of Oxford. He is a Chartered Financial Planner and also has a diploma from the Society of Trust and Estate practitioners (STEP).
From the start of Olly’s career at Saunderson House he has been involved in the team advising KPMG partners. Over the years this has involved everything from providing the compliance reporting data to clients (in the days before this could be reported through a single Saunderson House KICS entry) through to providing complex estate planning for retired partners.
Olly has been authorised to provide advice directly to clients since 2012, and has been part of our Technical Research team since 2011. For those clients who work with Olly, he is responsible for their overall financial planning, providing a combination of strategy, technical advice and investment planning. His aim with his clients is to build a strong relationship and knowledge of their circumstances, which then allows him to answer the big picture questions around retirement, gifting and estate planning as they arise.
Outside of work, Olly enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children. Having given up playing rugby a few years ago, he has been keen to take on some new sporting challenges, and in the last couple of years has completed a Tough Mudder and a triathlon, which help offset his love of food.
