Ray Tay
Co-Founder & Managing Director
Over my 15 years in banking, climbing the corporate ladder at HSBC, SCB, and OCBC, I saw countless businesses with incredible potential struggle to expand globally because of complex compliance requirements and a lack of guidance.
I’ve worked extensively in ASEAN markets, providing tailored solutions for distressed situations, compliance challenges, and scaling opportunities. My unique blend of professional expertise and personal grounding ensures clarity and success, even in the most complex business environments.
In the press: On 13 October 2026, the South China Morning Post’s This Week in Asia quoted me in “Not just about tax: why Australia’s tech entrepreneurs are moving to Singapore”. My point: the founders who do well here move for the market, not just the tax rate. For the Australian-side tax issues and the Singapore setup steps, see our guide for Australian founders.
