      Our annual report

      KPMG continued to build on its momentum in Financial year 2025: our net revenues increased by 2.3% to CHF 561.6 million, while gross revenues increased by 4.9% to CHF 744.7 million.

      These results highlight the strength of our multidisciplinary approach, the high quality of our services, and the trust our clients place in us.

      Audit continued on its growth path delivering an increase of 4.7% to CHF 278.4 million and remains our largest service area. This increase was primarily driven by new audit mandates. We also successfully reaffirmed our position as the leading auditor of companies listed in the Swiss Market Index (SMI). In addition to our audit portfolio, demand for audit‑related services continued to be an important pillar of our service offering and the interest in non‑financial assurance such as ESG reporting continued to increase.

      Tax & Legal grew by 1.5% to CHF 137.1 million, with most service lines contributing to this encouraging performance. Our tax expertise is widely recognized across the Swiss market, where KPMG again ranked among the top three tax advisors in Switzerland for the sixth consecutive year.

      Advisory saw a slight year-on-year decrease of 1.1%, ending the year at CHF 146.2 million and reflecting increased market volatility. Demand in our financial services consulting remained solid, and our Deal Advisory business once more delivered a strong result despite a slowdown in overall deal activity.

      Although uncertainty remains, particularly regarding the medium-term outlook for advisory services, we are confident in our strategic positioning. We will continue to execute our strategy with a clear focus on sustainable and responsible growth.

      I would like to thank our clients and business partners. Their trust in KPMG and in our expertise has been essential to achieving these strong results.

      Our history

      KPMG in Switzerland

      KPMG Switzerland arose from the Zürcher Treuhand-Vereinigung as a result of a series of mergers. The organization was founded in 1910. Two years later, Zürcher Treuhand-Vereinigung’s name was changed to Fides Treuhand-Vereinigung. Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA) then acquired a majority stake in 1928. A number of takeovers and mergers followed, which led to further changes to the name.

      The company operated as KPMG Fides Peat from 1987 onwards. Credit Suisse’s ownership ended after a management buyout in 1992 and the company became KPMG AG in 2007. 2010 marked KPMG Switzerland’s 100th anniversary.

      The founding fathers

      When the industrial revolution of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries helped transform accounting into a profession, KPMG’s founding fathers were center stage, pioneering the industry.

      William Barclay Peat (the P in KPMG) set up the firm of William Barclay Peat & Co. in London in 1891. In 1897, the US firm Marwick, Mitchell & Company got its start in New York City. The company was formed by James Marwick (the M in KPMG) and Roger Mitchell. Meanwhile, in 1917, Piet Klynveld (the K in KPMG) established Klynveld Kraayenhof & Company in Amsterdam. The last of our founding fathers, Reinhard Goerdeler (the G in KPMG) comes into the story almost half a century later in 1979 as co-founder of Klynveld Main Goerdeler.
