How we make the difference

From medium-sized automotive suppliers and regional banks to international pharmaceutical and media companies: We support clients of all sizes and from all sectors.

Our clients expect us to be as internationally orientated as they are. We are truly globally active when many of our colleagues are deployed worldwide and at the same time know their way around the regions.

Medium-sized companies form the backbone of the German economy. A prerequisite for their efficient support from a single source is the regional presence of a responsible partner. A member of the Executive Board is responsible for the multidisciplinary range of services in each region. Public organisations and institutions also have a high demand for services from KPMG. This is why we have been supporting decision-makers in the public sector in their tasks since 2005 with the Public Governance Institute.

Expertise from the business areas and in-depth industry and market knowledge

With the increasing complexity of requirements, interdisciplinary sector expertise is becoming ever more relevant. For this reason, we combine our expertise from the Audit, Tax and Advisory divisions with our specialisation by sector and market, which we have established for key sectors and target groups in our economy. This interdisciplinary approach offers our clients cross-divisional solutions.

In addition to specialist expertise from the Audit, Tax and Advisory divisions, our clients also expect KPMG to have specialised industry and market knowledge. This is why we have specialised according to economic segments and key markets. This is where the project experience of our specialists worldwide comes together. This enables us to provide our services even more efficiently and increase the quality of our advice.

We have undertaken a cross-divisional specialisation for key economic sectors, which enables us to provide practical advice to corporates, family businesses, the state and public sector as well as the financial sector in particular. By combining our expertise in five economic segments, we can offer our knowledge to our clients in an even more targeted manner:

• Corporates: For industry and trade, the liberalisation and globalisation of markets present both opportunities and challenges. We help you to utilise the one and master the other.
• Family businesses and SMEs: Clarity for family businesses - the goals of the business and the owner family are inextricably linked. That's why we always look at business issues from the family's perspective.
• Financial Services: Changing value chains, faster mergers and restructuring coupled with increasing regulation - the financial sector is facing enormous challenges.
• International Business: Your market entry in Germany and around the world. Our country specialists work together across all sectors worldwide to provide you with the best possible support for your business activities in Germany and abroad with future-proof services and to meet geopolitical challenges in the best possible way.
• Public sector: Complex legal requirements, cost pressure, rising social expectations and shrinking budgets - government, public and non-profit organisations need to operate sustainably and develop holistic concepts for the future.

Uniform standards for working methods worldwide

KPMG is aware of its responsibility as an auditing and consulting firm. We therefore place the highest demands on independence and objectivity, on the validity of accounting in the interests of functioning capital markets and on our working methods. Regular quality reviews ensure uniform quality standards in KPMG member companies worldwide.

Customer requirements are constantly increasing. They expect an innovative offering that solves their problems in a targeted manner. They want answers to their individual questions. Together with our international alliance partners, we can optimally fulfil these high expectations.

KPMG works internationally with a network of leading global software and service providers. Together, we analyse the current needs of our local and international clients in the market and which consulting solutions can support them.

Our common goal is to help our clients achieve a sustainable competitive advantage by focussing on solutions for the key issues of the future: transformation, data & analytics, cyber security, disruptive technologies and compliance.

We combine KPMG's comprehensive industry, business and process knowledge with the expertise of our certified alliance partners. This results in solutions that combine platforms and technologies - and offer clients real added value.

More experience, deeper understanding

According to a KPMG study, only a third of companies consider themselves capable of carrying out complex transformations in their organisations. Due to the rapid pace of regulatory and technological change, they need comprehensive solutions, from strategic conceptualisation to technical roll-out.

The alliances between KPMG and leading service and technology providers offer clients the opportunity to achieve this goal and create value across the organisation.
