Private Capital Emerging and Growth Manager Platform

We understand that when managers launch their first funds or are in their growth stage, they need a smooth process from a team that understands their industry and cost-competitive audit and tax compliance services.

The Platform was established to offer Private Capital managers the convenience of obtaining all the benefits of working with a Big 4 audit firm, without the need to start with a smaller firm and then change service providers once growth is achieved.

As the largest auditing firm in the Cayman Islands, KPMG offers in-house specialist teams dedicated to Private Equity, Venture Capital, or Private Credit funds. This specialization and cutting-edge technology enable us to be cost-competitive while providing the audit quality that regulators and investors demand.

The Platform allows us to demonstrate our exceptional client service to new and growing managers, thereby developing a long-term working relationship.
