Steven Manning
Chief Executive Officer – Walkers Professional Services
Cayman Islands
Walkers Professional Services (WPS) has appointed Benette Sparg as Director of Accounting Advisory Services, strengthening support for our global client base and aiding the continued growth of the service offering.
Benette brings 17 years' experience in fund audits, financial accounting and accounting advisory services, with a particular focus on alternative investment structures. She joins from a global accounting and audit firm, where she was a director in the Accounting Advisory team, coordinating with clients, auditors and administrators to manage large hedge fund and private equity fund financial statement engagements.
At WPS, she will work closely with the firm's established team of qualified accountants and auditors to expand our existing accounting advisory services globally. Her focus will be supporting funds clients through the annual and quarterly reporting cycles, addressing technical questions early and delivering high-quality financial statements for entities across multiple jurisdictions.
On Benette's arrival at the firm, Steven Manning, WPS CEO, said: ‘Benette brings excellent technical experience, but just as importantly, she understands what clients need when they are working through a demanding reporting process. Her practical approach will be a big asset to our clients and to the team as we continue the global expansion of our accounting advisory services.'
On her appointment, Benette commented: 'It’s great to join WPS at such an exciting time of change for the business. The team works with a strong client base across the asset management sector, and that brings a real opportunity to support clients through increasingly complex reporting requirements. I’m looking forward to working with the team to help clients manage those obligations with confidence.'
