      Every two years, Manager Magazin awards Germany’s best auditors with a ‘Best-in-Class’ seal, thereby recognising firms that impress their clients with outstanding service. In the latest 2026/27 rankings, KPMG has taken first place in two categories. 

      These top ratings not only confirm the high quality of our audit services, but also demonstrate that our clients value the partnership we share: excellence stems from teamwork – through listening, transparency and a consistent focus on what matters most to our clients.

      Our top rankings

      Germany’s best auditors: an overview of the competition

      Since 2018, Manager Magazin has been recognising Germany’s best audit firms every two years, thereby providing guidance in a complex market. The study is conducted under academic supervision and is based on a wide-ranging evaluation of the leading firms. 

      For this edition, the 20 audit firms with the highest turnover in the country were examined and assessed by more than 400 clients from a range of sectors: from financial services providers and industrial companies to the retail sector, healthcare, associations and charitable organisations. Their assessments are taken into account across ten different individual categories, which together determine the overall ranking.
