Study and experience sees two promoted at KPMG in Guernsey

Two members of staff at KPMG in the Channel Islands' Guernsey office have marked important milestones in their careers with promotions in recognition of experience and exam success.

Chris Lowe has been promoted to tax associate manager, while Frances Le Tissier has advanced to audit assistant manager.

Mr Lowe previously worked for KPMG in the UK where he achieved his chartered accountant status through the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) before relocating to Guernsey over two years ago as a senior tax consultant.

In his new role, Mr Lowe will take on more responsibility, building relationships with a portfolio of clients, as well as coaching and developing junior members of staff.

Miss Le Tissier joined the firm in 2009 as an assistant within the audit department and commenced studies towards the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). She qualified as an accountant in February.

As an audit assistant manager, Miss Le Tissier will also take on greater responsibility for a variety of clients, overseeing and coaching teams of assistants and managing multiple deadlines.

The promotions reflect the firm's strong emphasis on training and continued professional development and KPMG congratulates the success of these two staff members.

KPMG's HR executive director, Debbie Smith said; “KPMG is dedicated to providing exceptional training and supporting the professional development of talented individuals. It is great to be able to recognise the hard work and drive of our staff. Both Frances and Chris have developed brilliantly within the firm and have worked very hard to achieve these important milestones in their careers.”
