Co-Chairman & Co-CEO, MarcumAsia

Drew Bernstein is Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of MarcumAsia and co-founder of MBP Global LLP. He co-founded Bernstein & Pinchuk in 1983 — among the first PCAOB-registered accounting firms to specialize in SEC audit and advisory services for companies operating across international markets. That practice grew into MarcumAsia, today one of the largest middle-market accounting firms serving Asia-based, U.S. publicly traded companies and the most active independent auditor for cross-border IPOs and SPAC mergers.

Bernstein brings deep expertise across the U.S. and Asian financial ecosystems, with experience extending to Europe and Africa. His industry experience encompasses technology, education, retail, manufacturing, hospitality, pharmaceutical, and real estate. He directs a global team of PCAOB and SEC accounting experts and financial consultants across offices in New York City, mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan.

Bernstein is widely recognized as a capital markets thought leader and commentator. He has published for Forbes, CFO.com, and China Daily and is a regular resource to Bloomberg TV, CNBC, Reuters, the Financial Times, Barron’s, and MarketWatch on Chinese IPOs, cross-border governance, SEC regulations, and investment trends.
