Institutional-grade COO/CFO leadership for hedge funds and investment managers

Seamount Advisors is a specialist COO/CFO and operating-infrastructure advisory for hedge funds, asset managers, family offices and private capital.

​

At the core is a senior operator in the seat - embedded, fractional or interim COO/CFO across finance, operations, governance, NAV/valuation, treasury, investor dealing and provider oversight. Managers can engage through a focused project, with the relationship extending into ongoing operating leadership where required.

​​​

Seamount is led by Martin Murphy, FCCA - a practitioner who has run operations across a $50bn EMEA fund-services platform at Morgan Stanley, held a hedge fund launch COO/CFO seat, and served as interim Investment Operations Director over a £240bn regulated multi-manager platform. Every engagement is delivered directly by Martin, supported where needed by a trusted network of specialist legal, tax and regulatory partners.

What we do

​​

• Fund Administrator Benchmarking, RFP & Fee Optimisation - independent review of your provider stack, benchmarked against live market terms, with a retain / renegotiate / switch recommendation.
 

• Independent Shadow NAV & Fund Controls - independent control over administrator/PB outputs, with exception governance and sign-off.

• DDQ/ODD & Institutional Readiness - allocator-ready DDQ/ODD, operating-model documentation and provider oversight.

• Fund Launch & Operating-Model Build - front-to-back execution from structure and governing documents through go-live and stabilisation.

• Operating-Model Transformation & Control Enhancement - target operating model redesign across people, process, technology, data and governance.

​​

We provide independent oversight, control and governance - not official NAV calculation, books and records, fund accounting or transfer agency. That separation keeps Seamount the independent adjudicator of your operations, not a competing book-keeper.
