KPMG Ranking Jumps on World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors List
New York (May 12, 2011) – The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) ranked KPMG LLP second on its list of the World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm has announced. This is KPMG’s highest position since the rankings began, moving from the fourth position in 2010.
The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors rankings are based on applications received and evaluated by an independent judging panel organized by IAOP. This year’s judging took place prior to KPMG’s acquisition of EquaTerra, the IAOP’s number five ranked firm.
“We are honored to receive this recognition, which recognizes KPMG’s continued focus on this increasingly strategic and growing market segment,” said Cliff Justice, KPMG’s national leader for Shared Services and Outsourcing Advisory. “With the addition of EquaTerra, our clients are already beginning to benefit from the expanded skills, services and reach of the combined entity as they seek to reduce costs and improve effectiveness in their operations.”
“The companies on The World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors lists are proven leaders and rising stars,” said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett and chair of the judges’ panel. “They are the companies you want to partner with to achieve success and better outsourcing outcomes.”
“KPMG has been growing our advisory capabilities in this space both organically and inorganically, since we foresee increased demand as more organizations look to transform their global services delivery model from a cost center to a strategic driver of growth,” noted Justice. “It can be a huge advantage for companies to work with a leading and experienced sourcing advisor as they break down functional and business unit silos and identify the best mix of internal and external global capabilities.”
