KPMG has named former Isio director Will Aitken as its head of DC pensions and financial wellbeing, signalling the firm’s possible reentry into the pension advisory market.
Aitken joined Isio in 2023 after nearly eight years at Deloitte and nearly nine years as a senior consultant at WTW.
In a LinkedIn post, he said: “The new KPMG pensions team is growing apace and I am delighted to be part of it.”
The appointment of Aitken comes four years after KPMG’s pensions advisory practice was spun off and rebranded as Isio, following a management buyout. The deal meant that 20 partners and around 500 employees moved to Isio.
Isio was founded with backing from Exponent Private Equity, utilising the expertise and resources of KPMG’s former pensions advisory division to establish its team.
As of 2025, Isio advises over 1,000 clients, from SMEs to FTSE 100 firms, managing pension assets exceeding £90bn. It has expanded through acquisitions, including Premier Pensions (2022) and Deloitte’s UK pensions advisory business (2023).
