KPMG Ace the Case

KPMG Ace the Case 2025 will provide students across Canada the opportunity to work with their peers to develop a solution to a business problem and to share it with KPMG leadership!

As a participant, you will ignite your passion to create solutions to real-world problems, collaborate with students from across the country, develop your business skills and grow your network within KPMG in Canada.

The Case Competition for undergraduate STEM students, business students, or students looking to achieve their CPA designation will provide you with a taste of what it’s like to work at KPMG and an opportunity to participate in a spotlight session showcasing the CPA support provided by our firm. Working in teams with peers in your region, you will collaborate to solve a real-world business problem by completing a case study through a business, digital and CPA lens, receiving valuable feedback from industry professionals.
