What Acclime does

Acclime is a Hong Kong-headquartered professional services firm founded in 2019 by Martin Crawford and Debby Davidson that provides advisory, corporate, and fund administration services to multinational corporations, family offices, private capital firms, and high-growth companies operating across Asia Pacific. The firm delivers its services through a partner-led model out of 28 offices in 18 markets, covering formation, governance, accounting and tax, audit and assurance, HR outsourcing, legal, supply chain management, and a suite of advisory offerings that includes expansion advisory, transaction advisory, compliance advisory, risk advisory, and corporate advisory. Acclime has grown primarily through acquisitions, completing more than 50 deals since inception, with 2,000+ professionals serving over 22,000 clients; recent landmark acquisitions in 2025 include Crowe Singapore, Bedford (Australia), The Advisory Group, and Rockburgh (fund services).

The firm's technology layer is led by Aura, a proprietary AI and automation platform launched in September 2025 that uses generative AI, agentic AI, and intelligent process automation to support client service delivery and internal operations, complemented by Acuity (a secure client portal launched in 2026) and the Agility internal platform. Acclime is monetized through professional services and managed services engagements priced on a custom scope-and-complexity basis, with multi-year contracts for enterprise clients; revenue streams are diversified across corporate services, fund administration, and advisory. The firm's growth has been financed by a $150M+ senior secured debt facility from Barings and a December 2025 investment from Warburg Pincus at a $950M–$1B valuation, with stated intent to accelerate international expansion and technology-enabled service delivery across Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
