KPMG - statistics & facts

KPMG is a multinational accounting and auditing firm, providing three main business services - audit, advisory and tax services. The name KPMG represents the four principle founding members of the company and their respective member firms - Piet Klynveld, William Barclay Peat, James Marwick, and Reinhard Goerdeler. The present day company KPMG was fully established in 1987 with the merging of Peat Marwik International and KMG (Klynveld Main Goerdeler). Currently functioning with two headquarters in Amstelveen, the Netherlands, and London, in the United Kingdom, KPMG now operates in 155 countries and the number of employees tops 236,000 across the world.

The Big Four

KPMG is one of the four largest audit and accounting firms in the world along with Deloitte, EY, and PwC. These firms are known collectively as the Big Four and reported a combined revenue worldwide of over 162 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. In terms of revenue, KPMG was the smallest of these firms in that year, generating around 18 billion U.S. dollars less than the largest, Deloitte.

Increasing global turnover

The revenue of KPMG grew overall throughout the past decade, reaching approximately 32 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. The company has consistently generated its highest regional revenues in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), grossing approximately 14.3 billion dollars there in 2021. KPMG also has operations in the Americas and Asia-Pacific. These two regions combined account for well over half of the company’s total annual revenue. As with revenue, the EMEA region also tops the list for the most employees hired by the firm. In 2021, over half of the total number of KPMG employees worked in the EMEA region, followed by the Americas, then Asia-Pacific. Overall, KPMG had the fewest employees of the Big Four firms in the same time period. Deloitte had the most staff in that year with 345,370 employees, approximately 93,000 more than KPMG.
