I had the privilege of attending one of Siong Yoong's seminars "Rethinking Startup Exits: M&A Trends and Their Impact on Venture Capital in Asia", and his expertise in finance and M&A truly stood out. He delivers with clarity and structure, answering every question with great insight and precision. I especially appreciated how he took the time to address my question on M&A trends in the telecommunications sector, providing thoughtful and relevant perspectives. His generosity in sharing knowledge, combined with his depth of understanding, makes him a role model in the field. I look forward to any future opportunity to work with him.

I had the pleasure to work with Siong Yoong when my employer needed an expert for a valuation exercise for financial reporting purposes. I found him to be knowledgeable and professional. He brings a methodical approach to the complex valuation problem and breaks it down so that an asset's fair value can be determined and be backed by sound justifications that can withstand scrutiny by other independent experts. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing an independent valuation expert.

Siong Yoong is a creative and think out-of-the-box leader. Confident yet humble, he proposes solutions supported by facts and data. He was definitely in the category of coach (not superficial manager) as the Head of Deal Advisory Department to his team members when I was working with him as a HR Manager at Baker Tilly Singapore. Staff under him will surely learn and appreciate him as a coach, leader and approachable brother.

Siong Yoong advised me how my business can leverage technology to help more of my customers make money faster through bespoke deal structures not easily available to the public. If you want to unlock the value of your business, give the VALLARIS team a call. That one hour I spent with Siong Yoong literally 10x my business revenues overnight!

Siong Yoong saved me half a million dollar in 20 minutes, for his advice on how to have right conversation with my team. He is a genius to work with if you want to 10 times your business performance!

Siong Yoong is one of the most brilliant Deal Advisory partners that I am fortunate to have worked with. He has a keen eye for detail and provided interesting and valuable perspectives on many of my audit assist engagements that involved difficult valuation scenarios. He can articulate difficult concepts in a manner that is easy to comprehend and follow. A very directed person who is very well read and excels in strategy execution, I will not hesitate to recommend Siong Yoong to people who need professional advice in relation to Deal Advisory.

I have nothing but heartfelt thanks and admiration for Siong Yoong. He struck the fine balance of being a patient and nurturing mentor while being ruthlessly uncompromising on technical standards.

He is technically very strong and is able to effectively communicate complex matters effectively. A maverick in many ways who stays true to what he believes in and is able to execute his vision!

Siong Yoong is a leader not just because of his title but because he is someone we want to follow. As my reporting partner in Baker Tilly Deal Advisory, he provided a great model for traits and skills I wish to personally develop. While people throughout the company would turn to him as a subject matter expert in various advisory products, he maintained the ability to communicate a vision, steering us towards the right direction, and let go of the reins to allow the team their creative space to solve the problems at hand. Siong Yoong also has a strong passion in technology and he never fails to impress us with his avant-garde ideas and opinions on how technology can change the playing field for accounting and financial services. A truly fantastic boss to work for.

He is always there for the team and will provide full, unwavering support to them regardless of any situations. Furthermore, he is a leader who leads by example, always upholding the professionalism and discipline as required of a professional. Siong Yoong has my highest recommendations for serving as a mentor to any budding corporate finance professional.
