What KPMG Kazakhstan does

KPMG Kazakhstan is a Big Four professional services firm operating as an independent member of the global KPMG network, headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and serving clients across the Central Asia and Caucasus region. The firm is structured across three Kazakhstani LLC-equivalent entities (ТОО «КПМГ Аудит», ТОО «КПМГ Такс энд Эдвайзори», and ТОО «КПМГ Валюэйшн») covering Audit, Tax & Advisory, and Valuation practices respectively. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio spanning audit, deal advisory, consulting, tax, ESG and sustainability, modern technologies (including AI strategy development), legal services through the KPMG Law sub-brand, and a dedicated China Desk for Chinese corporates operating in Kazakhstan.

The firm serves enterprise clients in financial services, metals and mining, oil and gas, technology/media/telecommunications, infrastructure, and power and utilities — Kazakhstan's dominant economic verticals. Engagement models are project-based and retainer-based, accessed through formal RFP processes and direct enterprise field sales rather than self-serve channels. The firm leverages global KPMG methodologies, AI-enabled audit tools, data analytics platforms, and ESG reporting frameworks, and recently published the KPMG Tech Report 2026 and the 2026 KPMG Global AI in Finance report as regional thought leadership.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees across audit, tax advisory, consulting, deal advisory/M&A, and technology implementation engagements. The firm employs 789 people, operates as a private entity under the umbrella of KPMG International Limited (a UK private company limited by guarantee), and markets through its website, industry research, and relationship-based business development targeting large corporations, government entities, and financial institutions in Kazakhstan and the broader Central Asia/Caucasus region.
