Supporting family businesses across generations
Family businesses make a unique contribution to the economy and the communities they serve. Balancing family relationships, ownership interests and business priorities can create opportunities and challenges that extend far beyond commercial decision-making.
At KPMG, we work with family businesses ranging from founder-led enterprises to large multi-generational organisations. We help families navigate growth for their businesses, succession, governance and transition, supporting them as they make decisions that shape both the future of the business and the legacy they leave behind.
Our advisers bring together specialists from across KPMG to provide support in four key areas:
Growth, value creation and business resilience
Helping businesses seize opportunities, manage risk and protect value for the future.
Family governance, ownership and stewardship
Creating clarity around decision-making, ownership structures and governance arrangements.
Leadership, succession and generational transition
Preparing future leaders, supporting ownership transitions and engaging the next generation.
Wealth, values and long-term legacy
Aligning wealth planning, philanthropy and long-term ambitions with family values.
Why families work with KPMG
Family businesses are built for the long term, and so are we.
For more than 150 years, KPMG has worked alongside businesses as they have grown, adapted and passed from one generation to the next. That experience gives us an appreciation of the unique dynamics of family ownership and the importance of balancing the needs of the business with the aspirations of the family.
Combining deep technical expertise, an international network of family business specialists along with a long-term perspective, we help families navigate change, make confident decisions and create lasting legacies.
