At KPMG, we take a holistic approach to creating value for our clients. To achieve the goals of our private equity clients and their portfolio companies, we utilise the combined expertise of KPMG's global network and our strong alliances. With integrated and customised services, we stand for excellence along the entire investment cycle and across all value levers.

These are the top 5 challenges and trends in the private equity sector:

  • Data Management
  • External influencing factors
  • Growing requirements
  • IT infrastructure
  • Cyber security

We offer you solutions that are tailored to your specific needs, but also go beyond the actual problem if required.

Companies need to harmonise and integrate large amounts of data, take data protection into account and implement reporting requirements in order to remain competitive. We help with the implementation of big data technologies and the creation of data strategies to provide a comprehensive picture of business processes. KPMG also supports the integration of portfolio companies along the M&A strategy.

Companies need to align themselves precisely, constantly evolve, be able to access data and facts quickly, have efficient and flexible processes and utilise the latest technologies. KPMG helps with the creation and revision of controlling concepts and KPI systems, the digitalisation of planning and budgeting processes and the design of driver models. We also offer a Controlling 360° Quick Check and a Controlling Maturity Assessment.

Companies need to meet growing (tax) legal, regulatory and ESG requirements, integrate "hype" topics and centrally harmonise and digitalise historically siloed solutions. We help modernise financial processes by implementing SAP S/4HANA and introducing Robotic Process Automation (RPA). KPMG also supports the implementation of integrated reporting and analytics in the SAP Analytics Cloud.

Companies need to replace outdated or insecure IT systems, comply with regulatory requirements and integrate new technologies, properly integrate data, processes and IT infrastructures and develop standardised processes to improve reporting and better integrate investors. We assist with end-to-end integration and building a mature process landscape through the KPMG Powered Finance Approach. KPMG also helps automate finance and accounting using AI and offers Integrated Risk Management & Workflow Automation with ServiceNow. We also provide support in setting up and maintaining IT governance processes for AI solutions.

Companies need to develop new and improved IT security strategies to keep pace with technological change and digitalisation and meet increased compliance requirements to ensure the security of data and systems. KPMG helps with cloud security and container security, the introduction of decentralised identity and access management (e.g. blockchain) and the development of modern access management systems.
