The Adviser Platform (TAP) has expanded its compliance and governance team with the addition of Lyka Burr and Vincent Zhang. Both joined TAP as compliance specialists and adviser support.

Managing director Ryan Edwards says the appointments reinforce TAP’s commitment to simplifying compliance and enhancing support for financial advisers.

“TAP has consistently aimed to make running a FAP easier for advisers by simplifying compliance."

He says the appointments "reflect TAP's commitment to helping more advisers navigate the complexities of regulatory requirements and stay on top of their compliance obligations."

"This ensures our members are well-equipped to run compliant and well-governed advice practices.”

Burr has five and a half years of experience in financial services, most recently as a Team Leader Paraplanning at AMP-owned Advice First, where she managed a team drafting Statements of Advice and led adviser onboarding and training.

Meanwhile Zhang was most recently at AIA as a compliance analyst for five years and five months and before that was with Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Management. Previous roles include claims case manager and compliance analyst work.

Their focus includes conducting quality assurance checks, reviewing documents, providing feedback to advisers, addressing compliance queries, and assisting with TAP’s licensing programme.

TAP Head of Compliance and Advice, Scott Duncan, says: “Lyka and Vincent’s extensive experience and deep understanding of regulatory requirements will significantly strengthen our ability to support advisers. TAP’s mission has always been to offer clear, practical pathways for navigating licensing and the regulatory environment, and their expertise further enhances our capacity to achieve that.”
