KPMG is pleased to announce the promotion of Joshua Bain to Director within its Audit practice.
Joshua’s career progression is a strong example of the opportunities created through talent, dedication and commitment. He joined the firm as a scholarship recipient in 2013 and, following his full time return in 2016, has progressed through the audit track, building strong technical expertise alongside valuable international experience gained through a secondment with KPMG in the United States, based in San Francisco.
Beyond his client work, Josh has made a significant contribution to the firm’s people and talent initiatives. He has played a key role in strengthening local recruitment and development efforts, including scholarships, internships and graduate programs. He is deeply committed to mentoring emerging professionals and supporting future leaders as they pursue their professional qualifications.
Edward Gwekwete, Partner at KPMG, said Josh’s promotion reflects both his technical excellence and his commitment to developing people. “Josh consistently leads with integrity and demonstrates KPMG’s values and One Firm mindset. His dedication to quality, people leadership and the profession more broadly makes him a natural fit for the Director role.”
Josh’s passion for giving back both to the firm and the wider community has helped shape the next generation of accountants and leaders. His dedication to the profession was formally recognized when he was named the 2025 CIIPA Rising Star, an outstanding achievement reflecting his commitment, leadership and impact.
Throughout his career, Josh has consistently demonstrated KPMG’s values and a strong focus on audit quality, people leadership, and building a sustainable, high performing audit practice for the future.
