KPMG in the Crown Dependencies has promoted Fiona Babbé, Shaun Farley, and Sarah Hume to the positions of Partner.
The firm says it reflects the company’s “ongoing investment in its people” across its offices in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Fiona Babbé, based in Guernsey, has more than 15 years of experience delivering audit services, with a particular focus on London Stock Exchange listed funds.
Ms Babbe leads the KPMG Board Leadership Committee in Guernsey, sharing insights and fostering dialogue on governance and boardroom effectiveness. She also serves as the Qualified Person Responsible for Training for KPMG trainees undergoing their professional ICAEW and ACCA qualifications.
Sarah Hume was locally educated in Guernsey and began her career with KPMG in 2009. After completing her professional training, she spent seven years with KPMG UK, based in London, where she specialised in asset management and Private Equity (PE) audit.
In October 2021, Ms Hume returned to KPMG in the Crown Dependencies as an Audit Director, building on her extensive experience of working with private equity clients and managing cross-jurisdictional relationships for London-based managers and funds domiciled in the Channel Islands and Luxembourg.
Shaun Farley, based in Jersey, has been instrumental in the growth of KPMG’s audit practice across the Crown Dependencies.
Brian Bethell, Head of Audit at KPMG in the Crown Dependencies, congratulated all three on their new roles.
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Fiona, Shaun and Sarah to the audit partnership. Their dedication, technical excellence, and leadership embody the values of KPMG and underpin our continued success.
Mr Bethell continued: “These promotions reflect our commitment to developing our people and delivering exceptional service to our clients. The career development of Shaun and Sarah exemplifies the ongoing success of our local training programme, providing staff with the opportunity to gain global experience while advancing their long-term careers in the islands.”
