Global business advisory firm Deloitte, which is strongly represented in the Isle of Man, has announced a series of senior promotions as the company continues to expand its range of Island based services for a diversified local and international client base.
The Athol Street based firm has made some significant client gains both on and off-island in recent months.
Clare Mahood has been promoted into the role of Senior Manager, Audit and Advisory, whilst Marc Sawyer has moved up to the position of Manager, Audit and Advisory.
Clare has over 17 years of auditing experience, 11 of which have been dedicated to offshore financial groups, working with a number of high profile clients in the banking, fiduciary, e-gaming and trading sectors on the Island. Clare has also recently been appointed to the Isle of Man Society of Chartered Accountants.
She said that Deloitte provided a great opportunity for career development. “Despite being a global firm, local market knowledge is extremely important and we have an open door policy for all industries and I am looking forward to further developing client relationships and adding value across all sectors. We don’t compromise on quality. This is truly a business advisory service where clients get more than just a general tick box audit.”
Marc began his career in the Durban office of Deloitte South Africa, and qualified under the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. Following the completion of his articles in 2011, he spent the better part of 2012 living and working in Whistler ski resort, joining Deloitte UK’s Isle of Man office in November 2012 as an Assistant Manager within Audit & Advisory, before his recent promotion.
He has managed the external audits for a number of high profile clients within the banking, insurance and private equity sectors on the Island.
“I am proud to be a part of Deloitte’s expanding Isle of Man management team and excited by the prospect of new challenges and opportunities. It promises to be a very busy year for us here,” said Marc who is also training for his first Iron Man competition in July.
Sarah Sanders, Deloitte’s Isle of Man Partner, said the firm actively encouraged staff and career development. “As a worldwide firm, Deloitte promotes an environment in which each individual employee can drive their own career path. In the Isle of Man, we foster a collaborative culture where talented individuals can produce their best work.
“Both Clare’s promotion to Senior Manager and Marc’s promotion to Manager reflect their exceptional technical expertise and client service delivery and recognise the excellent contribution they have made to the growth of the Isle of Man office over the past couple of years. I look forward to continuing to support them both in their future careers,” Sarah added.
