Define your direction

Transformation is more than just a buzzword—it’s a powerful promise. When the conditions are uncharted, only a total and complete transformation can achieve sustained and substantial growth. KPMG sees this type of transformation as a process that is repeatable. Even though it’s risky, with only a quarter succeeding despite costly, complex, and time-intensive effort, we’ve been down this road before. We’ve analyzed the data behind those who were successful and those who failed.

Bold leaders know that to win, they need to welcome advanced analytical insights from their peers. That’s how you see impactful value realization. KPMG has identified the key drivers of successful transformation at major, leading companies. We’ve distilled them into an accelerated framework approach that helps enable you to make rapid, results-driven improvements to performance. Our approach tackles key aspects, providing value from the first step to the very last.

The modern CFO knows that their Tax functions can be a strategic partner, one that shares the appetite for insight and practical means to achieve any vision. Tax operations present a unique opportunity for CFOs to uncover new value in sometimes familiar places, whether that’s the Tax organization itself, support teams within business units, or an entire enterprise. Nothing comes without a challenge—an unknown Tax compliance environment, high investment barriers for Tax technology, or competition for critical skill sets. But these are challenges that can be met. 

That’s where KPMG comes in. We help CFOs go beyond quick fixes. We help them rethink and retool their Tax operating models. We give them access to globally sourced and flexibly deployed KPMG talent. We show them how to leverage advanced Tax data, analytics, and technology, without prohibitive upfront capital expenditures costs. We integrate intelligent automation to give operational spend more legs. We sweat the small stuff so CFOs can focus on the big picture.

Customer-centricity is key to surviving times of volatility and uncertainty. KPMG starts with targeted solutions powered by our full range of industry, functional, and business knowledge. We help our clients leverage data, both their own and outside, so that they can learn to balance investments, profit objectives, and CX expectations to pull far ahead of competitors. 

C-suites want practical answers to questions of unlocking the value of their most valuable assets, customer data. Our answer? Build digital commerce models. Articulate ROI-defined business cases to prompt investment while capturing new value. There’s never a one-size-fits all formula, and that’s not our goal. We create highly personalized, data-driven plans of action to help our clients embed customer impact and benefit into vital dimensions of operations.

Stiff competition. High valuations. In this environment, creating value through M&A is more of a challenge than ever. But leaders are not backing down—they’re shifting from defense to offense. They can see with clarity what is core to their business, the landscape of the markets today, and those that they want to be in tomorrow. They’re seeking advisors who can help them look through and beyond traditional synergies. Advisors who can find ways to leverage data and analytics while building capabilities to execute with intensity, speed, and purpose.

Companies that want to join these leaders know they need to up their game. At KPMG, that’s where our specialty lies. We’re here to combine our deep industry insight with data and acceleration tools so that future and aspiring leaders can realize long term value through their transactions. We’ll be with you every step of the way—from conceptualization until the value is reflected in your bottom line.

C-suites are intensely aware of how intangibles like stakeholder trust now act as multipliers of benefits. They also know digital market dynamics have expanded their risk surface well beyond the walls of the enterprise. In response, they’re eager to elevate the Risk conversation. Their target state:  Risk as a platform for opportunistic growth, innovation and resilience.

KPMG helps C-suites move Risk out of the back office, by augmenting data, analytics and AI to unlock the fuller picture of their own institutional insights and make better business decisions. At the advanced edge of Risk practice, KPMG is a pioneer in modern approaches that transform risk into a source of competitive advantage, agility and resilience.

When COVID-19 exposed deep fissures in worldwide supply chains and operations, C-suites started rethinking their global supply chain processes – from outsourcing and shipping, through to end-customer delivery. Now, they know a clear and resilient strategy is crucial, and are looking for transformative solutions that lower costs, reduce risks, improve use of capital, and support tax efficiency. Technology-based approaches are top of mind, including automation, and the use of data and analytics to increase visibility and controls. 

KPMG helps businesses rethink Supply Chain, bringing together sector-specific insight, functional expertise, and deep experience with value drivers like “outside in” operating models, cognitive decision centers, micro supply chains, complexity management, customer-centric operations, and workforce resourcing. While every client solution is purpose-built, they all reflect a blended consideration of data, processes, technology and people.
