Mazars hires 19-year KPMG vet to boost financial advisory unit

Mazars, the international tax, audit and advisory firm, has hired a 19-year KPMG veteran to help deepen its capabilities in the investigations and compliance space that is facing “considerable regulatory scrutiny”.

Rachael Hart has been appointed to the newly created position of forensic investigation and compliance partner in the financial advisory team.

In her new role, Hart will be responsible for growing and developing Mazars’ forensic investigation and compliance strategy and will be part of the financial advisory team offering an integrated and technology-driven service of disputes and investigations. She will focus on serving financial services clients and developing propositions relating to financial crime, with particular emphasis on sanctions.

Hart joins Mazars from FTI Consulting where she was managing director. Prior to that, she spent 19 years at KPMG, where she was a director in its Risk Consulting division.

Mazars hopes her wealth of experience in risk consulting, fraud and financial crime as well as technology development and operational management will help expand its propositions for financial services clients.

James Gilbey, head of financial advisory services at Mazars, said: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Rachael into the partnership. Her expertise is highly complementary to our practice and she will help deepen our capabilities in the investigations and compliance space which is subject to considerable regulatory scrutiny. She already has extensive experience in the sector and will be important in continuing the great work we already do at Mazars.”
