Grant Thornton, a global accountancy, tax and advisory firm, has added two new directors to its leadership team in the Cayman Islands.
Joseph Ferruzzi has been appointed as director and co-head of the firm’s US tax practice, which was set up mid-2019 in response to growing demand.
Ferruzzi, who has 18 years of industry experience, joins Chris Willemseand, director and head of tax for Grant Thornton Cayman Islands, to lead the service line.
Meanwhile, Sherri Fleming has joined the firm as a director in the audit practice, specialising in the audit of alternative investment funds.
In her new role, Fleming will lead audit engagements, build and develop client relationships, coach and mentor her teams, and take part in industry-related webinars focusing on the evolving landscape of asset management in the Cayman Islands.
Fleming brings with her nearly 20 years of experience in the audit industry, the last 14 of which have been in the Cayman Islands.
Greg O’Driscoll, partner and head of asset management at Grant Thornton Cayman Islands, said: “We are delighted to welcome two new industry experts to our team.”
He added: “We have seen significant growth in our funds practice over the past three years- which is now complemented by our US tax services offering- and the addition of Joseph Ferruzzi and Sherri Fleming further enables us to deliver our ambitious growth strategy. We are thrilled to welcome them both and their wealth of experience to Grant Thornton.”
