Deloitte returns to Jamaica

3 months ago 17

Global accounting firm Deloitte has re-entered Jamaica after a 12-year absence.

Its re-entry restores a Big Four operator, the others being PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG and EY.

For months, the company has been quietly setting up the firm, with Imani Duncan-Price as the leader.

“Just over a month into leading the newly re-established Deloitte Jamaica practice – and loving every minute of it!” stated Duncan Price the director and office leader at Deloitte Jamaica in a Facebook post in late April.

Deloitte Jamaica, which will provide audit and assurance services, is in the process of recruiting professionals.

Its exit from Jamaica in 2013 was part of a broader Caribbean restructuring. The company operated locally for 50 years, first under the name of Calvert Gordon and Associates and then as Deloitte & Touche in alignment with the international operation of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited.

Deloitte’s return signals confidence in Jamaica’s economic potential, Duncan-Price asserted.

“Thrilled to be an entrepreneur within a truly great global company, alongside a team committed to making an impact that matters,” she said. “This learning adventure with Deloitte is about exactly that: growing great companies right here in this amazing country of ours – potential waiting to be unleashed.”
