Noelle Kelleher joins Deloitte Melbourne as Superannuation Tax Partner

Deloitte Australia continues to grow its superannuation practice with the appointment of a number of senior industry players including this week, Michael Monaghan, the former CEO of Intech Investment Consultants and the recent appointment of a senior Big Four superannuation tax partner, Noelle Kelleher.

The appointments follow the acquisition by Deloitte in 2006 of actuarial superannuation advisers Buttler Walker and its high profile principal Wayne Walker. In 2007 superannuation consultants Matthew Lang and Susan Woods from Tiburon Consulting also joined Deloitte as partners, bringing in a team of eleven.

Deloitte Actuaries and Consultants managing partner Andrew Gale said, “Australia has the fourth largest wealth management industry in the world with superannuation accounting for approximately 85% of that industry.  By December 2015 Australia will rank first in the Asia Pacific region and Deloitte aims to be a dominant provider of professional services to the sector.

Gale welcomed Michael Monaghan’s and Noelle Kelleher’s appointments to Deloitte, describing them as key in today’s market which “requires careful strategising, segmentation, and service and product development”.

Deloitte’s superannuation services leader Matthew Lang said, “We are pleased that the strength of Deloitte’s superannuation practice continues to attract the calibre of professionals such as Michael Monaghan and Noelle Kelleher.

“Superannuation tax partner Noelle Kelleher has worked with some of the largest superannuation funds and employers in Australia as well as with self-managed funds and high-net-worth individuals.”

Gale added, “Michael Monaghan has restructured and reinvigorated his former businesses and is particularly strong on the asset side of the business.

“He is a thinker who can apply his considerable intellect and experience to today’s competitive, complex challenges.

“We are looking forward to having Michael and Noelle on the superannuation team. They will complement our considerable strengths, including those of our growing Melbourne practice which is ably led by Wayne Walker, author of Deloitte’s recent Superannuation Analysis – a “Multi-billion dollar battle”.
