Adam Ahmed is not your typical tax lawyer. With a career that bridges high-level corporate advising and grassroots advocacy, Adam is known for championing the rights of small businesses and individuals with the same intensity and expertise once reserved for multinational giants. His journey—from working with elite firms to founding his own practice—reflects a deep passion for justice, financial empowerment, and simplifying the complexities of tax law for all Australians.
Holding dual qualifications as a solicitor and a chartered accountant, Adam’s foundation is built on rigorous academic training with a B Com/LLB from the University of New South Wales and a Master of Laws from the University of Sydney, Australia. His early career included high-stakes roles at top-tier firms like Allens Linklaters, KPMG, and Deloitte, where he advised on complex audits, corporate restructures, and tax disputes. However, he soon recognized a growing need among everyday Australians for accessible, high-quality legal and financial advice.
In 2012, Adam founded Adam Ahmed & Co, a boutique firm dedicated to helping small and medium-sized businesses, investors, and families navigate the often-intimidating world of tax, commercial law, property transactions, and cryptocurrency regulation. His track record includes successful appearances in the Federal Court and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, with outcomes that have saved clients millions and reshaped their financial futures.
Adam’s thought leadership extends beyond his firm. He is a published author for Thomson Reuters, contributing expert commentary to cornerstone tax law publications such as International Tax, Assessable Income, and Deductions. As a frequent speaker at legal and tech events—including Bitcoin Alive 2023 and 2024—and through his work with BenchTV, Adam continues to educate and inspire both peers and clients with clarity, practicality, and vision.
He is also the author of the best selling book The Tax Audit and Disputes Survival Guide for Australian Businesses and Individuals.
At his core, Adam is a problem-solver with a mission: to make the complex simple and the overwhelming manageable. Whether negotiating with the Tax Office, advising on business structures, or navigating the evolving world of cryptocurrency, Adam empowers clients to take control of their financial destiny—one strategic move at a time.
