Our Story
Founded in 2007, DM Financial began as a specialist in IFRS fund reporting. Today, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of global services to fund administrators and asset managers, including IFRS and US GAAP Financial Reporting, Management Accounting, Regulatory Reporting, Directorships & Corporate Secretarial, Fund Administration, Taxation Compliance and Fund Liquidation.
In 2015, we entered the Asian market with the opening of our Singapore office. In 2021, we established our Cayman Islands office to support clients in one of the world’s leading fund domiciles. Later that year, we also secured growth investment from Synova to support the continued expansion of the DM Group.
Our European footprint has expanded steadily. In 2022, we welcomed Netherlands-based Solutional to the DM Group, adding 35 EU financial reporting and regulatory specialists. The opening of our Bulgarian office in 2023, which is dedicated to servicing existing clients, further enhanced the cost effectiveness, resilience and scalability of our model. In 2024, we acquired Luxembourg-based Phoenix PSF, extending our accounting, domiciliation, corporate secretarial and administrative services for investment entities.
Today, DM Financial partners with funds representing over US $800 billion in assets. We now have offices in Ireland, the UK, Singapore, Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Bulgaria. Our 270 professionals deliver round-the-clock services to the global asset management sector helping clients navigate complexity, stay ahead of regulatory change and build investor confidence.
Partnering with the world’s largest global investment managers and fund administrators, our growth to date has come from the expertise, hard work and agility of our team. We continually seek new opportunities as our clients request outsourced services that not only relieve administrative burdens, but also elevate standards in core processes and in compliance.

How We Work
For our clients, we are not just another service provider— we are a partner committed to Doing More every day.

With a team of over 270 professionals— including more than 100 qualified accountants— our technical depth spans IFRS, US GAAP and complex multi-jurisdictional requirements. This expertise drives confidence, clarity and efficiency across every engagement.
Partnership that creates value
We are more than an outsourced service provider. Clients benefit from direct access to our senior experts throughout every reporting and governance cycle. This hands-on continuity ensures seamless onboarding, execution and review— delivering greater value at every stage of the process.
We have always been committed to building diverse, motivated teams. We look for people with talent, energy and scope to grow. The sort of people who can learn together and collaborate with clients naturally, helping us evolve our business as regulation and technology keeps changing.
