Carve-outs are complex, time-critical and associated with high pressure. The requirements are high: companies must clearly define the transaction perimeter, establish independent structures and provide reliable, verifiable financial data for investors and capital market players - often under time pressure, with inconsistent data sources and a limited system landscape. Whether as part of a divestment, spin-off or strategic realignment: carve-outs challenge companies both operationally and financially - and at the same time offer the opportunity to streamline the balance sheet structure, sharpen the portfolio focus and achieve long-term growth.
Maximum transparency for complex transactions
The data-driven approach with KPMG Carve AI brings clarity and decision-making certainty to this complexity: as an integrated end-to-end solution, our platform consolidates all relevant information into a single source of truth. All project participants work on a centralised, collaborative platform with the same validated database. This ensures transparent, consistent and secure access to all relevant information at all times.

As one of the leading financial carve-out providers in Germany, we have successfully guided numerous companies through complex transactions. We would be happy to convince you of our expertise - and turn your carve-out into a success story.
KPMG Carve AI - your database for reliable financial statements
KPMG Carve AI - your data basis. At the heart of the integrated carve-out approach is KPMG Carve AI, a tool that analyses, standardises and consolidates heterogeneous data sources. This is how we create the basis for:
- Transparent and comprehensible carve-out financial data
- Informed decisions through automated reports and dashboards in real time
- Factbooks, due diligence and stand-alone adjustments
- Audit trails and audit assurance for reliable financial statements
From analysis to reporting - everything from a single source
We support you throughout the entire carve-out process with a clearly structured, data-based approach:
Definition of target image, legal framework and financial structure - aligned with transaction and regulatory requirements
Analysis of the system landscape, identification and prioritisation of relevant data sources - from ERP systems to Excel files
Structuring, harmonisation and validation of data in KPMG Carve AI - as a consolidated single source of truth for all subsequent processes
KPMG Carve AI provides auditable carve-out financial data as well as detailed analyses for the income statement and balance sheet. This includes segmentation by region, product or function, breakdowns of personnel costs and intercompany charges as well as analyses of balance sheet items, cash flows, net working capital and net financial liabilities.
Consolidation can be organised flexibly - either directly in KPMG Carve AI, in a new system environment or by connecting to existing consolidation systems, depending on the situation and the necessary level of requirements. Our solution is individually scalable and adapts to any system landscape.
All reports are available automatically as Excel analyses or interactive dashboards - clear, consistent and relevant to decision-making.
