Our take
Digitisation has transformed how we work, bringing significant benefits to businesses across various sectors. However, in the financial world, the digital shift is still catching up. While progress is being made, there's still a long road ahead before the industry full embraces digital transformation.
Progeny, a global professional services firm, is bridging this gap by combining independent financial planning, asset management,m tax, HR, and private and corporate level services. With over 40 years industry experience, Progeny has witnessed the changes firsthand and has successfully adapted to keep pace with the evolving landscape.
