Sedgwick has bolstered its forensic accounting services in Australia by appointing Amanda Hillier (pictured) as partner.
The firm’s forensic accounting team in Australia is composed of over 40 accountants, who practice in seven offices across the country with experience in a wide range of sectors – from construction and manufacturing to cyber and retail.
Joining the forensic accounting team as partner, Hillier (pictured) has over 20 years of experience. She specialises in quantifying economic damages for insurance and litigation purposes and managing claims for business interruption (BI), commercial disputes, large event cancellations, and cyber matters.
Hillier has been with Sedgwick since 2011. Since joining the company, she has overseen the operational quality of the company’s forensic accounting services in Australia.
She also played a pivotal role in the team’s pilot testing and implementation of an enhanced claims system. Most recently, she has been leading the implementation and delivery of Sedgwick’s automated assessments for large volume class action claims by using a dynamic technology solution to handle them.
Additionally, Hillier’s experience in operations management has been vital to the forensic accounting team’s participation in catastrophe response.
“Amanda is a strong collaborator and problem solver,” said Emma Levett, partner and head of Sedgwick’s forensic accounting services in Australia. “She continues to manage claims by driving our automation efforts to promote efficiency and capacity in this service area. Amanda’s comprehensive background in business interruption, with significant experience across large event cancellation claims, as well as other niche specialties like life insurance, class actions, and cyber claims, is an asset to our clients.”
Sedgwick has been bolstering its forensic team in Australia this year. In April, it made two leadership appointments.
