KPMG

KPMG’s roots date to Piet Klynveld’s accounting practice, founded in Amsterdam in 1917; the modern KPMG network was formed in 1987 through the merger of Peat Marwick International and Klynveld Main Goerdeler. It is a network of legally separate member firms rather than one operating company.

KPMG firms provide audit and assurance, tax and advisory services to companies, governments, public-sector bodies and other organisations. Advisory work includes deals, strategy, risk, regulatory compliance, technology and digital transformation, while the firm is also investing in AI-enabled audit and technology platforms.

For students, KPMG is particularly relevant in financial services, government and public sector, healthcare, risk and compliance, and technology-enabled transformation. Its UK graduate routes cover audit, consulting, tax and law, and technology and engineering, with professional-qualification support built into many programmes.
