Cologne

The world has become a global marketplace - and many regions are developing with incredible dynamism. With its international network and 27 offices in Germany alone, KPMG ensures that global progress always includes a local foothold. This is especially true for the Cologne region.

Here, between Aachen, Bonn and the Sauerland and Siegerland regions, KPMG is firmly rooted. We know the people, we know the companies and structures. And as true local patriots, we are proud of our city of over a million inhabitants: it is North Rhine-Westphalia's largest and Germany's fourth-largest metropolis, centrally located thanks to the Rhine and its proximity to the Ruhr region and the Benelux countries - and one of Germany's most important business, education and research locations.

And yet many sectors are also undergoing serious upheavals in and around Cologne. Digitalisation and issues such as a lack of skilled workers and internationalisation are associated with major challenges for medium-sized companies. The changed business models raise many questions that need innovative answers.

Our specialists provide them: With assessments for many business areas, they support the evaluation of opportunities and risks and provide suitable benchmarks. In this way, they help companies to recognise changes at an early stage, to determine their location in order to break new ground, and to use cross-border synergies.

In Cologne, too, you benefit from innovative solutions and knowledge from our regional and international network. So that you are always one good idea ahead of the market.

Today. For tomorrow. For Cologne.

What does KPMG in Cologne stand for? For auditing, business and tax consulting, of course. For efficient business processes and secure structures. For in-depth knowledge of the challenges facing family businesses. And for answers to future questions around the topics of regulation, globalisation and digitalisation. Because growth needs wide-ranging roots, we are optimally networked with regional associations and strong in many areas of the regional economy.

And with many focal points:

• KPMG and family businesses belong together. Against the backdrop of digitalisation and transformation, we also ensure stronger links with start-ups.
• Our many years of experience in the public sector is the basis for strong growth. Here, KPMG provides comprehensive and sustainable support in overcoming future challenges, delivers holistic solutions in consulting and is also a leader in auditing in the public sector.
• Various sectors such as trade, telecommunications and the chemical industry have benefited for years from the consulting expertise of our practice-oriented partners.
• Our insurance expertise in audit and tax, but especially in consulting, reflects the strength of Cologne as an insurance location.
• We are also generating strong growth in consulting, for example in the area of data and analytics. And we support companies in answering the questions of how they can convert internal and external company data into value, develop innovations and generate strategic advantages.
• The area of transaction consulting is developing particularly dynamically, with more than 20% revenue growth (as of 2020). We accompany companies, for example, in the context of IPOs and acquisitions.
