Nicky Connolly

Digital Service Provider Audit Specialist

I’m a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) with a decade’s specialist experience in contract compliance and royalty audits. My expertise is deeply rooted in the complexities of the digital media and entertainment industries.

I spent much of my career at KPMG, working across both the UK and Singapore offices within the Contract Compliance and Governance and Risk teams. This is where I developed deep expertise in Digital Service Provider (DSP) audits. I’ve successfully audited most of the major global DSPs, with a client list that included major music labels, publishers, and collection societies.

I’m experienced in complex revenue assurance and Most Favoured Nation (MFN) reviews. A significant strength of mine is my capability in large-scale data analysis, proficiently handling detailed stream-level datasets—a critical requirement for modern digital royalty auditing.

Prior to joining HW Fisher, I served as Vice President of Operations and Finance at Helicap Labs, a subsidiary of Helicap, a prominent Singapore-based FinTech company.

Now at HW Fisher, I will be leveraging my wealth of knowledge and experience to focus on growing the firm’s DSP audit business line and helping clients navigate the financial intricacies of the digital economy.
