Key Takeaways

 

KPMG runs one of the widest footprints of any professional services network, spanning 138 countries and territories, roughly 74 US metro areas, 19 locations across the UK, and 14 cities in India.

 

• KPMG firms operate in 138 countries and territories with 276,030 partners and staff as of September 30, 2025

 

• No official global office count exists, because every member firm publishes its own location list

 

• KPMG International is registered at 15 Canada Square in London and serves no clients of its own

 

• India supplies the single largest share of network headcount, ahead of the United States

 

• Your office shapes your clients, your industry exposure, and your pay more than your service line does

 

How Many KPMG Offices Are There Worldwide?

 

KPMG does not publish a global office count. The network operates in 138 countries and territories with 276,030 partners and employees as of September 30, 2025. Third-party trackers estimate anywhere from roughly 540 to more than 700 offices, and those numbers conflict because each member firm maintains its own separate location list.

 

That gap frustrates candidates, so it helps to understand where it comes from. KPMG is not a single multinational corporation with a central property register. It is an organization of independent firms that share a brand, and each one is responsible for its own obligations, its own offices, and its own disclosures.

 

The country count moves too. KPMG's current pages cite 138 countries and territories, but older pages across the same domain still say 142, 143, 144, or 145. Any source quoting a country figure without a date is quoting a number that may already be two or three years stale.

 

Here is the practical takeaway. Stop hunting for a global office total, because it does not exist in any authoritative form, and go straight to the member firm site for the country you actually want to work in.

 

Where Is KPMG Headquartered?

 

KPMG International Limited is registered at 15 Canada Square, London E14 5GL. It is an English private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales on February 20, 2020 under company number 12474966, per KPMG's own governance disclosures and the UK Companies House register.

 

You will also see Amstelveen, Netherlands listed as KPMG's headquarters, and that is not wrong either. A meaningful share of KPMG International's global leadership sits at 1 Laan van Langerhuize in Amstelveen, which is why reference sites split between the two cities.

 

The detail that matters for your job search is different. KPMG International provides no client services and generates no client revenue, so there is no consulting job to apply for there. Every consultant, auditor, and tax professional in the network is employed by a member firm.

 

The reason for that structure is regulatory rather than stylistic. Many countries legally require audit and legal firms to be locally owned and independent, which means Big Four networks cannot operate as ordinary multinationals.

 

What Does KPMG's Global Footprint Look Like by Region?

 

KPMG reported globally aggregated revenues of $39.8 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, up 5.4% in US dollars, with growth across all three of its regions. Headcount rose 1.8% to 276,030.

 

Region	FY25 growth	What it means for candidates
Americas	Up 5.6%	Fastest growing region, anchored by the US firm and its roughly 74 metro locations
Asia Pacific	Up 4.7%	Includes the Australia, Japan, Singapore, and China member firms
Europe, Middle East, Africa and India	Up 4.7%	Largest region by revenue at roughly $17.7 billion, and home to the biggest headcount base

One number surprises most candidates. According to Revelio Labs workforce data published in June 2026, India accounts for roughly 35% of KPMG's global headcount, ahead of the United States at about 18% and the UK at about 9%.

 

Where Are KPMG's US Offices Located?

 

KPMG's US locations page lists about 74 metro areas. The real office count runs higher, since Atlanta operates two offices, Dallas holds two, and South Florida is served from both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.

 

The network reaches far past the obvious financial centers. KPMG is the only Big Four firm with an office in Alaska, having served Anchorage since 1961, and it holds the only Big Four address in Knoxville.

 

The largest and most established US offices cluster where you would expect:

 

• New York: the US headquarters and the firm's first American office, opened in 1897 and now based at Two Manhattan West

 

• San Francisco and Silicon Valley: the technology hub, with more than 3,000 professionals across the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest region

 

• Chicago: open since 1904 and one of the city's oldest professional services firms

 

• Dallas and Fort Worth: Dallas opened in 1915 and now runs two locations across the metro

 

• Atlanta: two offices, Downtown and Midtown Ignition, holding more than 1,700 partners and professionals

 

• Washington, D.C. and Tysons: the government and federal practice base in one of the country's fastest growing regions

 

Age is a useful signal here. Los Angeles opened on January 1, 1920 as KPMG's sixteenth office, which tells you how long the firm has been building client relationships in that market compared with a newer location.

 

What Is KPMG Lakehouse and Where Is It?

 

Lakehouse is KPMG's learning and innovation campus at 9301 Lake Nona Boulevard in Orlando, and it is the only location in the US network that is not a client-serving office. The firm spent $450 million on it, making it the largest capital project KPMG has ever undertaken.

 

The campus covers 55 acres and includes 800 single-occupancy guest rooms, 90 learning and innovation spaces, and a 1,000-seat assembly hall. Roughly 40,000 KPMG employees pass through it every year.

 

The site selection tells you something useful about the office network. KPMG evaluated 50 cities and chose Lake Nona partly because its position five miles from Orlando International Airport allows direct flights to about 90% of the firm's other office locations.

 

Which KPMG Offices Are Outside the United States?

 

Every major KPMG market runs its own office network under its own member firm, and the three biggest English-language markets for candidates are the UK, India, and Canada. Each publishes its own list, and the counts differ sharply.

 

Market	Locations	Main hubs
United States	~74 metros	New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington D.C.
United Kingdom	19	London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol
India	14 cities	Mumbai, Gurugram, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata
Canada	40+	Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton, Halifax
Australia	14	Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide

 

The UK firm lists 19 office locations for candidates, running from Aberdeen and Edinburgh down through Manchester and Birmingham to London, Reading, and Gibraltar. London dominates for financial services and deal advisory work, while the regional offices hire steadily and face far less competition per seat.

 

That spread makes consulting recruiting in the UK far less London-centric than most candidates assume. Applying to Manchester or Leeds is a legitimate strategy rather than a consolation prize.

 

India is the network's largest talent base. The KPMG entities there were established in September 1993, operate across 14 cities, and serve a domestic client base of more than 2,700 companies.

 

India also hosts a second, separate network worth knowing about. KPMG Global Services was set up in 2008 as a delivery organization that supports KPMG firms in other countries, and it runs from eight locations including Bengaluru, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kochi, Noida, Kolkata, and Pune.

 

That distinction matters if you are applying from abroad. A KPMG Global Services role supports engagements delivered elsewhere, which is a genuinely different career track from client-facing work in the local Indian practice, and it is a difference worth clarifying before you accept anything.

 

How Many KPMG Offices Are in Canada?

 

KPMG in Canada states that it runs more than 40 office locations across six regions, which makes it one of the densest KPMG networks relative to population anywhere in the world. Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal carry the largest practices.

 

What sets the Canadian firm apart is how far it reaches into smaller markets. KPMG staffs offices in places like Quesnel and Prince George in northern British Columbia, Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario, and Lethbridge in Alberta.

 

That reach is unusual for a Big Four firm and it creates entry points that flagship-only candidates never look at. The regional depth is one reason consulting recruiting in Canada follows a different pattern from the US model.

 

Where Does KPMG Operate in Australia and the Pacific?

 

KPMG Australia offers graduate roles across 14 offices spanning metro and regional areas, with Sydney based at International Towers in Barangaroo. Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Canberra round out the main hubs, and Canberra carries the government and public sector work.

 

The Pacific structure shows the member firm model clearly. KPMG Fiji and KPMG Papua New Guinea are separate, independent member firms that are merely associated with KPMG Australia, so a role in Suva or Port Moresby is not an Australian job with a different postcode.

 

Elsewhere, the pattern repeats: one dominant financial center plus a handful of regional offices. London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dubai, and Johannesburg anchor their respective markets, and each one hires on its own local timeline rather than a global calendar.

 

How Do You Choose the Right KPMG Office?

 

Pick your office by the clients you want, not by the city you find most appealing on a weekend visit. Your location determines your industry exposure, your travel pattern, and your promotion competition far more than your service line does.

 

Having coached hundreds of candidates through office decisions, I see the same mistake repeatedly: people optimize for the city and then spend three years auditing an industry they have no interest in. Work through these five factors in order.

 

1. Industry concentration: match the local client base to the sector you want on your resume in five years, since New York skews financial services and Houston skews energy
   
   
2. Office size: larger offices offer more partners to learn from and more internal mobility, while smaller ones give you client exposure sooner
   
   
3. Pay against cost of living: a Dallas salary often nets more disposable income than a higher New York number, so compare after housing rather than on the offer letter
   
   
4. Recruiting competition: flagship offices draw the deepest applicant pools, and a strong candidate frequently has better odds at a regional office
   
   
5. Long-term roots: your first office builds the professional network you will draw on for exit opportunities, so weigh where you want to be in ten years

 

The best KPMG office for you is rarely the biggest one, and it is almost never the one with the most name recognition. Candidates who pick on prestige alone tend to end up in crowded practices doing work they did not choose.

 

One current signal is worth factoring in. KPMG cut roughly 10% of its US audit partners in April 2026 as part of a productivity push, and the firm audited 9.8% of US-listed companies in 2025 according to Audit Analytics, up from 9.2% the year before.

 

Read that as a shift in where the growth sits rather than a reason to avoid the firm. Advisory and tax roles carry different office dynamics than audit, and the KPMG consulting salary range shifts by level and by city rather than by service line alone.

 

Can You Move Between KPMG Offices?

 

Moving between offices inside one country is a formal internal application rather than an automatic right, and it typically requires a business need at the receiving office plus a supportive performance record. Domestic moves between US offices are the most straightforward because you stay with the same legal employer.

 

International moves work differently, and this is where the member firm structure bites. Joining KPMG in London after two years in Chicago means leaving one legal employer and joining another, with its own pay bands, promotion timelines, and immigration requirements.

 

Most successful cross-border moves happen through secondments negotiated between two member firms. Those come after you have built a track record and found a partner willing to sponsor the move, which usually means waiting until at least your second or third year.

 

KPMG does run a formal Global Opportunities program that several member firms promote to their own staff, and it is the cleanest route across borders. Places are limited, competitive, and allocated on performance, so treat it as a reward for strong ratings rather than a benefit you can count on.

 

One more thing candidates routinely miss: pay does not travel with you. A senior associate moving from New York to Manchester is repriced against the local market, and the same title can mean a materially different salary and a different promotion clock on the other side.

 

The practical implication is simple. Do not accept an office you do not want on the assumption you will transfer out in a year, because that plan fails far more often than it works, and it is a particularly risky bet for international students whose visa status is tied to a specific employer.

 

Choosing among KPMG offices is one of the most consequential decisions you will make in your first five years, because the city sets your clients, your industry, and the network you carry into every job after this one. Pick the office whose client base matches the career you actually want, then prepare specifically for that location's recruiting cycle rather than applying everywhere and hoping something lands.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How many countries does KPMG operate in?

 

KPMG firms operate in 138 countries and territories, according to KPMG International's current organization disclosures. That figure covers member firms, not individual offices, and it shifts as firms merge or exit markets. Older KPMG pages still cite 142, 143, 144, or 145 countries, so always check the date on any source you find.

 

Where is KPMG's global headquarters?

 

KPMG International Limited is registered at 15 Canada Square, London E14 5GL, as an English private company limited by guarantee, company number 12474966. Much of its global leadership operates from Amstelveen in the Netherlands, which is why some sources list the Netherlands instead. KPMG International provides no client services and employs no client-facing consultants, so it is not somewhere you would apply to work.

 

How many KPMG offices are in the United States?

 

KPMG's US locations page lists roughly 74 metro areas, from New York and Chicago down to Anchorage and Shreveport. The actual office count runs higher because several metros hold more than one address, including Atlanta, Dallas, and South Florida. The US firm does not publish a single official office total.

 

Which KPMG office is the largest?

 

KPMG does not publish a ranked list of its offices by headcount. New York is the US headquarters and the firm's oldest American office, established in 1897. KPMG describes San Francisco as its largest office in the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest region, where more than 3,000 professionals work.

 

Can you transfer between KPMG offices in different countries?

 

Yes, but an international move means joining a different legal employer rather than transferring inside one company. Each KPMG member firm is separately owned and sets its own pay, promotion timelines, and hiring rules. Most cross-border moves happen through secondments arranged between two member firms once you have a track record and a partner willing to sponsor you.

 

Does KPMG hire for specific offices or for the firm overall?

 

KPMG hires into a specific office, and you pick that office when you apply. Your location determines which clients you serve, which industries you build experience in, and what you get paid. Changing offices later is possible but takes a formal internal application, so treat the choice as a real decision rather than a form field.
