Big Four consulting firm with audit, tax, advisory, and digital transformation services
KPMG Australia is a 10,000-person partnership operating across audit, tax, advisory, and digital transformation. The tech stack reveals a consultancy in mid-cycle modernization: heavy Oracle and SAP footprint (Fusion, S/4HANA) paired with aggressive Azure cloud adoption (Synapse, Data Lake, Data Factory, Fabric) and emerging data-platform tooling (Databricks, Spark), while actively adopting procurement (Ivalua, Coupa) and workforce (Workday) SaaS. Hiring velocity is accelerating, with finance roles dominating (155 open), followed by legal and engineering — a pattern consistent with scaling technical advisory and tax-tech delivery.
Notable leadership hires: Salesforce Build Lead, Energy Transition Director, Director, Change Lead, Finance Director
