Audit
KPMG’s Audit provides trustworthy and intelligible information about a company’s financial state. Our sector-oriented teams utilise our detailed knowledge of industrial sectors and employ data analysis. Our experts specialise in the financial sector, real estate, energy, industrial enterprises, retail, the automotive industry as well as telecommunications. During audits, they always consider the individual sector’s specifics. KPMG also benefits from the work of actuaries, tax advisors, forensic auditors, valuation and IT experts.
Tax Advisory
Internationally and locally, tax systems are undergoing dynamic changes. Our team of tax advisors monitors legislative developments, case law and changes in the approach of the tax administration. We work closely with the lawyers and attorneys from the law offices of KPMG Legal. Thanks to our broad knowledge of accounting and tax legislation and our membership in KPMG’s global network of firms, we can offer comprehensive advisory services including a broad scale of specialised services.
Legal Services
The law offices of KPMG Legal focus on corporate law, transaction advisory services, regulatory issues, technology law, labour law issues, public tenders and Public Private Partnerships, family businesses, succession issues, arbitration, and of course tax litigations. KPMG Legal offers its services to Czech and international clients from all sectors. Apart from traditional services, KPMG Legal also offers specialised legal assistance either closely linked with other services that law offices usually do not provide or requiring highly specialised expertise, e.g., in investment funds.
Advisory services: Management Consulting
Our consultants link knowledge with data and technology. They offer measurable results and provide local expertise with a global perspective. Technological developments are changing traditional business models, and companies are faced with geopolitical as well as macroeconomic changes. To remain successful, they must gain and retain a competitive advantage and at the same time deal with the demands of indispensable austerity measures. Our advisory services enable them to successfully continue in their endeavours as they specialise in finance, energy, telecommunications, the public sector, manufacturing companies and other areas.
Advisory services: Deals
Our consultants think like investors and actively look for acquisition, selling, partnership, and investment opportunities as well as ways to increase effectiveness. As part of every project, we consider all business aspects, utilise analytical tools and recognise the specifics of individual business sectors. With deep knowledge of the local market, we offer impartial advisory and expert services independent from any financing sources. At our side stands KPMG’s entire global network of member firms with the know-how of more than a thousand experts in more than 50 countries.
Advisory services: Risk Consulting
Risk management is a strategic and essential prerequisite for any successful business undertaking. Companies are at the centre of ever-increasing geopolitical, reputational, and regulatory risks, and need to address these threats. To successfully address these risks, companies need to implement effective risk management processes into their decision-making. Our team of more than 100 professionals can help them do just that, as it includes experts in regulatory requirements, financial, operational and IT risk management, as well as specialists with extensive experience in internal audit, fraud investigation, actuarial, ESG and sustainability, and other related areas.
Advisory services: Accounting Services & Payroll
Accounting Services & Payroll aims to always adapt its services to the specific needs of our clients, thus helping them lower their business costs. We advise on how to better take care of a company’s bookkeeping and payroll agenda. We offer financial accounting and management reporting services. Providing outsourcing services, we can take over a company’s entire payroll process, paying out wages and dealing with all connected administrative aspects. While processing a client’s payroll, we can tie into their internal processes. We also offer administrative support services, including the documentation and processing of payment orders, invoices, statistics reports, and travel expenses.
In the Czech Republic, we systematically focus on the following sectors:
Foreign desks (German, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese desks) also play an important role, as colleagues from the respective countries help develop relations with foreign investors operating in the Czech Republic
