KPMG Fiji recently announced the addition of two new partners in a move to foster its expansion in the South Pacific. The new members, Marissa Apted and Mohammed Khan, are both based in the KPMG Suva office.
Lisa Apted, the managing partner at KPMG Fiji, expressed her excitement about the new appointments, noting the firm’s sustained growth trajectory since 2021. This can be attributed to the development and expansion of their office network and workforce in Fiji.
With these additions, the total number of partners at KPMG Fiji now stands at nine, while the staff force has expanded to 334 as of July 2024.
Mohammed Khan, the new audit and assurance partner, brings a wealth of experience to his role. He has been with the firm for 14 years, serving clients in Fiji and other Pacific Islands in various sectors, including banking, telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and more.
Marissa Apted has assumed the role of an advisory partner. She started her journey at KPMG in Sydney as a junior accountant in 2004, before relocating to the Suva office in 2016. She specializes in risk consulting, people consulting, and transaction advisory services for diverse industries in Fiji and across the Pacific.
These appointments became effective as of July 1, 2024. KPMG Fiji’s growth continues since its integration with the KPMG Australian Enterprise practice in July 2021.
