Founder's Message: Martin Murphy, FCCA
I am the founder, CEO, and CFO of Seamount Advisors Limited.
​With more than three decades of leadership in financial services, I’ve had the opportunity to work with hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and asset management firms, leading transformative projects across global markets.
My career began at MeesPierson (Dublin, Ireland), followed by key roles at Hemisphere Management and West End Capital (Hamilton, Bermuda), where I helped guide the transition from a multi-billion dollar hedge fund to NYSE listed reinsurance company, Flagstone Reinsurance. These early experiences shaped my expertise in fund administration, operational restructuring, fund finance, relationship management, investment operations, and middle office.
​​
​At State Street (Dublin, Ireland), I deepened my expertise in complex fund accounting, FX share class hedging, and talent development, which set the stage for a leadership role at Morgan Stanley (London, UK), where I led a $50 billion EMEA fund administration business. There, I drove a 400% increase in sustainable profitability by optimising processes, managing globally diverse teams, and building trusted partnerships, which lay the foundation for my client-focused approach to leadership and business management.
​
In 2022, I founded Seamount Advisors (London, UK) with a vision to bring this depth of experience to a wider range of clients. Today, Seamount Advisors specialises in providing COO/CFO services to hedge funds, private equity, and other alternative investment firms, empowering them to optimise their operations and achieve sustainable growth.
​​​
I believe in fostering enduring partnerships rooted in trust, transparency, and integrity, with a focus on doing the right thing and achieving mutual success for long-term growth.
​​
My hands-on leadership ensures that Seamount Advisors' clients receive tailored, actionable solutions that drive real results.

Personal Note
​​
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and coaching youth rugby, both of which keep me grounded and energised.
I believe in maintaining balance in life, which brings clarity and focus to my work, allowing me to continuously deliver exceptional results for my clients.
