Big Four accounting and consulting firm KPMG LLP has named a new managing partner of its Hartford office. 

Susan Jackson will be the first woman to lead KPMG’s Hartford office when she takes over the role on May 15. She will succeed Tom Daugherty, who became managing partner in April 2017.

Daugherty will continue to serve as lead partner on one of the firm’s largest insurance industry clients, and maintain his involvement in industry and community organizations, KPMG said.

As of the third quarter of 2023, KPMG was the fifth-largest accounting firm in Greater Hartford with 70 local CPAs and 210 local employees, according to Hartford Business Journal's Book of Lists. 

The firm is located in the Gold Building in downtown Hartford.

"My focus will be on fostering a culture of collaboration, where our collective strengths are harnessed to deliver exceptional results for our clients,” Jackson said. “I am passionate about creating an environment that encourages continuous learning and development, enabling our teams to stay ahead in an ever-evolving business landscape and helping our people to thrive.”

Jackson began her career with the firm in 1993, and became a partner in 1999. In her role as an audit partner, Jackson has served as a lead engagement partner for several prominent Hartford insurance and healthcare clients. 

Jackson also serves on several nonprofit boards, including as board chair of Junior Achievement of Southwest New England. 

The Quinnipiac University graduate grew up in southern Connecticut and lives in the Hartford area with her family.
