Carve-outs are complex, time-critical and associated with high pressure. The requirements are high: companies must clearly define the transaction perimeter, establish independent structures and provide reliable, verifiable financial data for investors and capital market players - often under time pressure, with inconsistent data sources and a limited system landscape.

Whether as part of a divestment, spin-off or strategic realignment: carve-outs challenge companies both operationally and financially - and at the same time offer the opportunity to streamline the balance sheet structure, sharpen the portfolio focus and achieve long-term growth.

Maximum transparency for complex transactions

The data-driven approach with KPMG Carve AI brings clarity and decision-making certainty to this complexity: as an integrated end-to-end solution, our platform consolidates all relevant information into a single source of truth. All project participants work on a centralised, collaborative platform with the same validated database. This ensures transparent, consistent and secure access to all relevant information at all times.

As one of the leading financial carve-out providers in Germany, we have successfully guided numerous companies through complex transactions. We would be happy to convince you of our expertise - and turn your carve-out into a success story.
