She advises [re]insurance and alternative investment clients on intricate US federal, state, and international tax considerations. Noteworthy is Sarah’s leadership in navigating complex subjects such as Bermuda economic substance and BEPS Pillar 2, underscoring her profound expertise.
“Anam joined KPMG in 2018, having previously worked in London. With a distinguished 14-year career in the insurance sector, Anam leads KPMG’s Actuarial and Management Consulting teams in Bermuda. Over the past five years, she has successfully led strategy and capital optimisation projects and spearheaded the development of the firm’s insurance start-up services, playing a crucial role in the successful launch of multiple new insurers in Bermuda’s dynamic market.
“In addition to these promotions, KPMG has made the following leadship changes. Adam Smith has been named Head of Advisory and Sector Lead for Insurance.

Mr Berry added, “I am delighted to announce Adam’s appointment as Head of Advisory and Sector Lead for Insurance. His deep experience and relationships in the Bermuda market will ensure the firm continues to serve the [re]insurance sector with the highest quality and expertise.
