Advisory firm Grant Thornton has appointed Claire Scott as the new national head of financial services, which was effective on 1 January.
Scott has taken the reins from Darren Scammell, who has led the firm’s financial services practice for the past three years.
As a Partner in Audit & Assurance, Scott has experience in external audit, assurance, regulatory compliance and advisory for APRA regulated entities including superannuation funds, authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) including major banks, regional banks, mutual banks and foreign banks, as well as investment funds, fintechs, non bank lenders, mortgage funds and other financial service entities.
Fraser McNaughton, Chief Marketing Officer & Industry at Grant Thornton, says Scott’s extensive financial services experience, commitment to client success, and expertise in audit and regulatory standards make her the ideal leader to guide our clients through these times of significant change.
Scott says she is thrilled to have taken on the role and is keen to help clients navigate the evolving financial services landscape.
“With the industry going through rapid transformation, our clients need experts who are deeply knowledgeable and capable of providing forward-looking, tailored solutions. My ambition is to build on the strong foundation laid by Darren and continue making a meaningful, sustainable impact for our clients,” she says.
