KPMG Takes Aim At Family Office Market With Strategic Hire
This publication brings latest news of moves and appointments in the wealth management arena.
KPMG, the global accountancy and professional services firm, has appointed former Salamanca Group private office head Catherine Grum to lead its family office team, a newly-created position.
Grum will drive the development of a dedicated family office
service, working with the firm’s family business and private
client advisory teams, KPMG said in a statement.
Creation of this group is part of KPMG’s Enterprise initiative,
the firm’s strategic investment totalling £40 million ($61.7
million) which will see the firm expand its service offerings in
the UK.
Prior to Salamanca Group, Grum was head of wealth advisory (EMEA)
for Barclays Wealth & Investment Management.
Although Grum will not act as a practising solicitor in her new
role, her career started at Allen & Overy, where she worked from
2003 to 2009 in the firm’s private client department, providing
wide-ranging legal and tax advice to UHNW individuals and family
offices. Prior to joining KPMG, Grum practised as a
qualified solicitor and trust and estates practitioner.
