Impact With Purpose
We all have a purpose at KPMG. Explore yours.
KPMG is a firm with a rich history of doing great work and making a difference. Individually and as a firm, we inspire confidence and empower change in so many different ways. We truly believe that everyone is here for a purpose. Whether our purpose is to serve our clients directly or to help those who do, we all contribute to the bigger picture.
At KPMG, purpose is the difference that has always set us apart. Purpose is the difference between managing military inventory and delivering lifesaving aid to our allies. Between reconciling conflicting financial claims and helping bring hostages home. Between certifying election results and strengthening a young democracy. Between monitoring a cleanup and helping a nation heal after a tragedy. This difference, in perspective, has enabled us to inspire confidence and empower change for over 120 years, and it will for many more. Because at KPMG, purpose is the difference between doing our job and knowing why it matters.
"KPMG is about its people – and I believe that every single person at this firm has a strong sense of purpose and a strong commitment to each other, our clients, and the communities in which we do business. I feel a strong sense of pride to work for KPMG and to work alongside such extraordinary people."
— Michaelle "Meesh" Chalmers, Senior Associate - Audit
Inspire confidence. Empower change.
The 10,000 STORIES CHALLENGE
At KPMG, we celebrate and take pride in the higher purpose behind the work we do. We recently asked our people to tell us how their role makes a positive impact on the world. Our goal was 10,000 stories, but we ended up with more than three times as many! The results show just how extraordinary our people are, and how we can work together to Inspire Confidence and Empower Change in so many ways.
KPMG Values
Our Values
Our Values define who we are, what we believe and what we stand for. They establish a common identity that unites us. At KPMG, we are truly better Together.
Our Values guide our thousands of extraordinary people to do what is right, learn and improve every day, think and act boldly, respect and draw strength from our differences, and do what matters for our clients, communities and the capital markets we serve.
Our Values make us stronger and help us grow the trust of all our stakeholders every day.
- Integrity. We do what is right.
- Excellence. We never stop learning and improving.
- Courage. We think and act boldly.
- Together. We respect each other and draw strength from our differences.
- For Better. We do what matters
Our Vision – To be the Clear Choice
At KPMG, our goal is not to be the biggest professional services firm. Our goal is to be the best professional services firm. And we define this in a very tangible way through our vision of being the Clear Choice.
For KPMG, being the Clear Choice means that:
- Our people are extraordinary;
- Our clients see a difference in us; and
- The public trusts us.
We believe that living our principles – and living the KPMG Story – will set us apart.
We hope KPMG will be your Clear Choice.
A Strategy for Success
Above all, we act with integrity.
"The recipe for success is good work. Do good work and you will get work. There is no other way."
— William Barclay Peat
This advice, delivered by one of our founders William Barclay Peat, remains as relevant for our firm today as it was a century ago. It's why our people maintain such a relentless focus on quality and providing excellent client service in all we do. We have a clear strategy that is based on taking a long-term, sustainable view about how we build our brand and our success.

"I see people who I care about and who I want to work with sitting on either side of me. I'm from a very big family in Jamaica. When I left Jamaica, that was taken from me. You all give me an opportunity to recreate the family environment I have at home, and being able to call you my friends, my family, my brothers, and my sisters is special."
— Nick Washington, Manager - Audit
