KPMG Boosts Alternatives Practice With Senior Tax Hires
KPMG, the "Big Four" audit, tax and advisory firm, has strengthened its alternative investment funds unit by adding two federal tax managing directors to its offices in Los Angeles and New York.
Nancy Chan is based in Los Angeles and has 25 years of experience in the financial services sector, including an earlier role as a senior manager within KPMG’s federal tax practice.
Most recently, she worked at Hellman and Friedman, a private equity firm, where she served as a tax director. In that role, she was responsible for tax planning and research, as well as participation in tax issues relating to acquisitions, restructuring and tax audits.
Meanwhile, Nader Karimi joins as a managing director of federal tax and asset management in New York. He joins KPMG from Goldman Sachs Fund Services, where he was the global head of tax and product development. Before that, he was the assistant vice president and global tax manager at HSBC Security Services.
Karimi will focus on expanding relationships with and serving hedge fund and private equity clients in areas such as the implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.
KPMG’s alternative investment funds practice provides audit, tax and advisory services to hedge, private equity, real estate and infrastructure funds and fund of funds.
