KPMG has outpaced its Big Four rivals with the highest revenue growth in the past year, reaching $38.4 billion globally. This growth is attributed to investments in technology, training, and emerging fields like AI and ESG.
KPMG has narrowed the gap with its larger rivals in the past year, according to figures posted on Tuesday that showed it had the strongest revenue growth of the Big Four accounting and consulting firms. The firm recorded global revenue of $38.4 billion in the 12 months to September 30, a 5.4 percent increase on the previous year.

Bill Thomas, KPMG’s global chief executive, said the growth reflected investments the firm had made in technology and training, and faster-growing business lines such as artificial intelligence and environmental, social and governance (ESG) work. A year ago, KPMG extended Thomas’s leadership term by 12 months to September 2026 to see through a three-year investment programme. “Commitment to our multidisciplinary model has also fuelled greater synergies, growth and cross-border collaboration across our network,” he said. The headline growth rates masked significant differences in different parts of the world. In Asia-Pacific, where professional services firms have been struggling with an economic slowdown in China and a political backlash against the Big Four in Australia, KPMG’s local currency growth was just 0.5 percen
