KPMG Fiji appoints two new partners

Professional services firm KPMG Fiji has announced the appointment of two new partners, strengthening its leadership team as demand for audit, tax and advisory services continues to grow in Fiji and the wider Pacific.

Mehul Tailor and Nalin Kumar were appointed to the partnership effective April 1, 2026, expanding KPMG Fiji’s partnership from six to eight members.

KPMG Fiji managing partner Sharvek Naidu said the appointments reflected the firm’s focus on building leadership capability and supporting sustainable growth across the South Pacific.

“With the promotion of Mehul and Nalin to the KPMG Fiji partnership we are building a strong and diverse leadership team, one well positioned to drive innovation and support sustainable growth throughout the South Pacific,” Mr Naidu said.

“I am proud to see the partnership growing as we continue to meet increasing demand for high-quality professional services in Fiji and the region.”

Both partners are currently based at KPMG’s Suva office and are expected to relocate to Nadi from early 2027.

Mr Tailor brings 18 years of experience with KPMG Fiji, having begun his career through the firm’s Vocational Employment programme.

He joined the firm formally in 2011 as a Graduate Accountant and now serves as Financial Services Sector Lead.

He has extensive experience working with clients across the financial services sector, including central banks, as well as energy and utilities, media and telecommunications, retail, leisure and manufacturing industries.

Mr Tailor has also played a key role in building KPMG Fiji’s audit capability and delivering professional training across Fiji and the Pacific.

Mr Kumar is a seasoned accounting and assurance professional with more than two decades of experience in public practice.

His career spans work with small and medium enterprises, major national organisations, multinational companies, listed entities, financial institutions and statutory bodies across Fiji and the region.

He has also completed a three-year secondment with KPMG’s Darwin office and spent nearly three years in Business and Tax Advisory, providing accounting and tax advice and delivering end‑to‑end compliance services.

Mr Naidu said Mr Kumar’s broad experience across audit, business and tax advisory strengthened the firm’s ability to provide balanced and practical advice to clients.

KPMG Fiji said the appointments would enhance its service offering while supporting clients, communities and economic development across Fiji and the South Pacific.
