TORONTO, Oct. 6, 2020 /CNW/ - KPMG in Canada is pleased to announce that Yannick Archambault has joined the firm as Partner and National Family Office Leader. In this new role, Yannick will be responsible for leading KPMG's national Family Office practice, which delivers customized services for business owners, enterprising families, ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals and established family offices.
"We are delighted to welcome Yannick to KPMG and to our team of trusted professionals across Canada," says Jonathan Kallner, KPMG's Canadian Managing Partner, Clients and Markets. "Yannick brings a deep understanding of family wealth, risk mitigation, legacy, succession and continuity planning. Yannick and the team will further strengthen our services to achieve the distinctive goals and aspirations of individual families, with a focus on stability and growth."
Yannick joins KPMG from the wealth management industry, where he established strong relationships working with many of Canada's leading business families and entrepreneurs. Yannick led Private Wealth Management at one of Canada's largest banks and was responsible for strategic planning, distribution strategy, client experience, marketing and business development. He brings 30 years of experience and has held numerous leadership roles within the financial services sector, serving clients in Canada, the U.S. and Asia.

"With the pandemic, the need to be resilient and adapt to significant change is greater than ever. Going forward, we will accelerate our integrated approach to deliver family office solutions that enable businesses and families to adapt to these unprecedented times, realize their goals, and succeed for future generations."
