Moore Kingston Smith appoints new advisory head

Accounting firm Moore Kingston Smith has appointed Melanie Reed as its new advisory head.

Reed, who has been a partner at Moore Kingston Smith since 2021, will lead the firm’s efforts to adapt to the evolving needs of its clients while providing streamlined and tailored advice.

The company’s advisory offering now integrates various services, including Corporate Finance, Restructuring and Insolvency, Wealth Management, Forensic Accounting, HR Consultancy, Valuations, Moorementum, Moore ClearComm, and Moore SGD Law.

Reed began her career in tax at the age of 18 and has a notable background, having spent 12 years at Grant Thornton before leading the national corporate tax practice at RSM.

Her broad experience, particularly in M&A tax advice for clients in the media sector, will be instrumental in her new role, the company said in its press statement.

Earlier in August 2025, Moore Kingston Smith appointed Lynn Lin as a partner and the head of its China and Asia-Pacific (APAC) desk.

Lynn is a Chartered Management Accountant and an ATT-qualified tax adviser, having more than 15 years of experience in both commercial and technical roles across multiple sectors.

In her new position, Lynn will focus on supporting businesses in their international expansion efforts, which includes establishing overseas subsidiaries, managing compliance and accounting, obtaining funding, and addressing cross-border tax matters.
