Our Story

The KPMG Story starts in 1890 and still holds the initials of the four founding members: Klynveld, Peat, Marwick and Goerdeler. Today, KPMG is a global network of independent member firms offering audit, tax and advisory services. KPMG member firms operate in 154 countries and territories and provide trusted insight, advice, and analysis to help clients tackle today’s critical challenges. With skilled professionals, global reach, and advanced technology, KPMG delivers high-quality services to leading organizations worldwide.

KPMG IT Service OOD was created in 2015 when the startup cloudpartner.de was acquired by KPMG IT Service GmbH. We have one mission: to drive the digital agenda of KPMG in Germany forward.

We deliver R&D and operations services across technologies. We are driven by curiosity, strive constantly for excellence and achieve our goals with integrity and openness. We explore, discuss, argue and accomplish.
