He added: “We are really excited to now offer treasury accounting advice as part of the Rochford service. Having listened to our clients' grievances around hedge accounting and the complexities that come with it, we realised that there was an untapped opportunity to streamline the whole process for clients."
Kevin Mitchell, the former bank and treasury accounting manager at AMP, has been appointed to head up the function boasting experience in end-to-end accounting services.
The demand for specialist advice on financial risk now sees Rochford advising on in excess $20 billion since its launch in 2010, with offices in Hong Kong and Sydney.
“It is crucial that in today’s environment CFOs understand the market risks their business is exposed to and how best to manage them.
