I have worked with Madeleine, in her capacity as external auditor, internal auditor and for non-audit services, since 2005 and throughout this time she has consistently and at a very high standard, demonstrated her understanding of governance, risk management and operational matters in all aspects of financial services, but particularly in banking and non-bank lending. She has always shown herself to be a person of the highest integrity and been prepared to speak with honesty at a board and management level and has never compromised on that principle. Her engagement and output have always been of the highest quality, coupled with her preparedness to truly understand your business, which is reflective of her experience in financial services and as an audit, and risk management and compliance professional. Madeleine has the capability to add enormous value to your business, its governance and operations.

Madeleine is an outstanding Financial Services Advisor. I worked as a Partner of Madeleine at KPMG, & as a competing Partner in the mid tier when she was at GT. Madeleine built very successful Financial Services practices at both Firms, through her ability to connect with clients & to mentor strong teams. On a personal level, I’ve admired Madeleine’s ability to successfully network, & to strive to help others. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Madeleine for any Financial Services Advisory roles, or Directorships across all sectors.
