The practice joins the International Financial Centres and Overseas Territories as a core part of the KPMG Islands Group.

Guernsey-based Neale Jehan has been appointed as the inaugural Senior Partner of the new Crown Dependencies business.

“As leading firms in each of our islands it made sense to align ourselves so that we can leverage a larger pool of staff and specialists to meet our clients’ expectations,” he said. 

“The new practice is wholly owned by its local partners who will continue to make decisions quickly that are right for our jurisdictions.”
