KPMG in the UK

Nicole is the Head of Emerging Giants and KPMG Access in the UK. Emerging Giants is a Global KPMG brand for our support of fast growth and innovative scaling businesses. The team identify and support high potential startups and scaleups across the UK and work alongside them to accelerate their success. We are here to work organically with businesses, delivering traditional and new KPMG services and support throughout their business lifecycle.

The newly launched KPMG Access focuses on delivering traditional Big 4 support in a very non-traditional way via 4 main 'pain points' - Access to Talent, Access to Finance, Access to Markets and Compliance and Governance. Access runs in themed scale-up cohorts for a 12-month journey of growth as we support businesses through the most exciting and critical phase of their business journey. 

Nicole has been at KPMG for 10 years, starting her career at KPMG as a School Leaver. The programme allowed Nicole to work in the TMT audit practice while studying for a BSc in Accounting at the University of Exeter and also training to become a CA with ICAS.
