KPMG Fiji has officially announced the retirement of Steven Nutley, a esteemed partner within its Audit & Assurance Group, after nearly a decade with the firm. Managing Partner Lisa Apted expressed gratitude for Mr. Nutley’s significant contributions to both KPMG and the accounting profession in Fiji.
Operating out of KPMG’s Suva office, Nutley played a pivotal role in mentoring both professional and support staff within the Audit and Risk teams throughout his tenure, as highlighted by Ms. Apted. She praised his approachable communication style, pragmatic mindset, and empathetic nature, which fostered trust and boosted the professional growth of his colleagues.
Mr. Nutley joined KPMG Fiji on August 1, 2016, as a partner in the Audit & Assurance Group and held various leadership positions, including that of Risk Management Partner. His career began with KPMG in the United Kingdom, and he subsequently worked in New Zealand and Central Europe, eventually serving as the managing partner of the Albanian practice prior to his retirement in 2015 to explore his sporting passions.
Returning from retirement, Nutley continued to pursue his interests in ironman competitions during the early years of his tenure at KPMG Fiji. Throughout his career, he served a diverse range of significant clients, including ANZ Bank, Bred Bank, and Energy Fiji, spanning multiple industries such as banking, telecommunications, and energy.
His active participation within the Fiji Institute of Chartered Accountants saw him on the Institute’s Standards Committee, where he contributed to evaluating and guiding the adoption of international standards in Fiji. Nutley was also a strong advocate for implementing a mandatory global System of Quality Management (SoQM) across smaller practices, showcasing his commitment to enhancing practice standards and supporting fellow practitioners.
Nutley’s retirement from KPMG Fiji will be effective on December 31, 2025. His legacy, marked by mentorship and a dedication to professional excellence, will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the firm and the wider accounting community in Fiji.
