Prior to his wealth advisory journey, Yong Cheng was with Ernst & Young upon receiving his Bachelor of Accountancy at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) before joining the National Trade Union Congress (NTUC) where he worked in a union setting to represent workers in their bread & butter issues.
Having observed that family issues often arose due to financial reasons during his time in the union, coupled with a strong personal interest and motivation to better plan for himself and his family, Yong Cheng joined Providend as a Client Adviser in 2017.
Since then, he has empowered many busy professionals, families and near-retirees to explore desirable alternatives to their current lifestyle after gaining better clarity on their finances.
Yong Cheng also actively contributes his professional insights on various wealth-related topics in interviews with media channels such as Channel 8, The Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao.
