KPMG Austria

What KPMG Austria does

KPMG Austria is an Austrian professional services firm headquartered at Porzellangasse 51, 1090 Vienna, and a member firm of the global KPMG organization affiliated with KPMG International Limited. Founded in 1945 (80 years of operation as of 2025), it employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates through eight regional offices (Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Dornbirn, Graz, Klagenfurt, Mödling) and approximately 25 wholly-owned subsidiaries covering specialized audit, tax, advisory, IT services, and legal entities. The firm serves enterprise and mid-market clients across Austria, with named primary segments in Large Enterprises and Banking & Capital Markets and additional coverage in Insurance, Industrial Manufacturing, Energy, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Construction & Real Estate, Public Sector, Retail & Consumer Markets, Family Businesses, KMU, Start-ups/Scale-ups, and Private Clients.

Its core offerings are organized around four practices: Audit (financial statement audits, sustainability assurance under CSRD/ESRS, governance and board services), Advisory (strategy, accounting advisory, finance and people consulting, customer and operations, finance risk and compliance, governance risk and compliance, forensic, deal advisory, technology consulting, cybersecurity and IT risk), Tax (corporate, indirect, global mobility, transfer pricing, deal advisory M&A and restructuring, tax administrative and criminal law), and Legal. The technology portfolio centers on KPMG KI-Services, which bundles Data & Analytics, Robotic Process Automation, Cloud Transformation, and Intelligent Document Processing as applied AI capabilities for client engagements rather than as standalone software products. Content platforms include the DIMENSIONEN knowledge portal, the IMPULSE podcast, and curated newsletters across financial services, insurance, M&A tech deals, reporting, tax, and valuation. The firm also runs the KPMG Tech Innovator innovation program and offers Emerging Giants services targeted at start-ups and scale-ups.

The business model is professional services fees billed per engagement via quote-based, negotiated pricing and a formal Request for Proposal (Angebotsanfrage) process for new clients. Revenue streams include recurring audit engagements, project-based consulting and tax advisory, legal services, and emerging sustainability assurance fees. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through the office network, supported by content marketing (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Xing, DIMENSIONEN, podcasts, newsletters, events/webinars, market studies) and employer branding through a dedicated careers portal. The firm is not publicly listed, does not disclose revenue, and operates as a private Austrian GmbH under the global KPMG coordination framework.
