The Michigan operations of KPMG LLP will have a new leader beginning Oct. 1.
The tax consulting and advisory firm announced in a news release Wednesday that veteran Kevin Voigt will take over as managing partner for the Detroit and Grand Rapids offices.
Voigt will replace Betsy Meter, who has served as managing partner in the state since February 2018. She is retiring from the company Dec. 31.
In his new position, Voigt will oversee more than 400 KPMG employees and guide the overall strategic direction and growth of the offices, according to the release.
Voigt, who joined KPMG in 1995 and became a partner in 2008, is also the national service line leader for KPMG's tax economic and valuation services practice.
"I am excited to lead a talented and dedicated group of professionals who have the skills and expertise to help clients solve a broad range of challenges such as business and digital transformations, mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, operational improvements and numerous other issues," Voigt said in the release.
Voigt, a Birmingham resident, is based out of KPMG's downtown Detroit office. He is a CPA and is accredited in valuation from the American Institute of CPAs. He has a bachelor's degree in accounting from Michigan State University.
Meter is a 38-year veteran of KPMG and serves as its U.S. accounting change leader. She has been active on several boards around Southeast Michigan, including the Detroit Economic Club, Detroit Regional Chamber, Automotive Hall of Fame, Downtown Detroit Partnership and Oakland Family Services.
