A Message from Our Founder

I’m Morikot Keo, Founder and Managing Director of Emerald Axis. I was raised by migrant parents who showed me the meaning of humility, hard work and loyalty. I’ve always believed that true success is measured not only by our achievements, but by how we show up for those who rely on us.

That belief drives everything we do at Emerald Axis. We combine sharp technical advice with genuine care and long-term thinking, supporting our clients to align their business, family and financial decisions with their vision of success.

This firm is my legacy, but more importantly, it exists to help you build yours.

Our Story

The Story Behind Emerald Axis

Emerald Axis was founded with a clear purpose: to deliver advisory aligned for success, on your terms.

After over a decade advising high-net-worth families and ambitious business owners, Morikot Keo created a firm that reflects his values: strategic, transparent and deeply personal.

The name says it all. Morikot - the Khmer word for emerald, represents clarity, wisdom, and prosperity. Axis captures our role at the centre of our clients’ financial lives, quietly aligning the moving parts that matter most.

At Emerald Axis, we work with people who want more than just compliance. They want a trusted adviser who understands both the numbers and the people behind them.
