Advanced Markets (UK) Limited, the FCA-regulated subsidiary of the broader Advanced Markets Group, posted a 52% revenue jump in 2024 but saw profits flatline, according to unaudited financial statements filed with Companies House.

Advanced Markets UK Revenue Climbs 52% as Margins Tighten

The UK subsidiary of the fintech firm reported turnover of £2.75 million (approximately $3.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2024, up from £1.81 million in 2023. Net profit held nearly steady at £152,551, down just 0.6% from the prior year's £153,470.

The stagnant profit picture came despite the strong revenue growth, as cost of sales climbed to £2.55 million from £1.66 million, a 54% increase that outpaced revenue gains.

However, tax expense jumped to £51,288 in 2024 from £12,521 in 2023, eating into pre-tax profit of £203,839. The company generated £6,318 in interest income during the year, down from £11,669 in 2023.

Diverging Financial Performance

The 2024 results show a different trajectory from the previous year, when Advanced Markets UK saw profits drop 69% despite a revenue surge to $2.26 million in 2023. That year marked a period of adjustment as the company scaled its UK operations.

Advanced Markets has been building out its UK presence, including hiring Oksana Remez from Finalto in December 2024 to oversee global sales strategy and lead business development efforts. The appointment signaled the company's intent to expand its UK footprint even as it trimmed headcount elsewhere in the operation.

The company's balance sheet shows total assets of £19.08 million at year-end 2024, up from £13.21 million in 2023. Cash holdings nearly quadrupled to £3.85 million from £1.06 million, while debtors rose to £15.23 million from £12.15 million. Trade creditors increased to £16.99 million from £11.28 million.

Advanced Markets UK filed the accounts under the small companies regime, exempting them from a formal audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006.

Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
