KPMG International reported annual aggregated revenues of its member firms globally grew 5.1% to $38.4 billion for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2024.

The 5.1% increase over fiscal year 2023 was in local currency, and measured 5.4% in U.S. dollars.

The Big Four firm attributed this growth to its "collective strategy" and multibillion-dollar investments in aligned global priorities, while supporting clients through disruptions like artificial intelligence and shifting environmental, social and governance priorities.

The firm reported that tax and legal services grew by 10%, which the firm said was driven by client demand for its AI-enabled managed service and transformation capability, legal capability, and helping clients navigate global tax reform. KPMG also grew audit 6% and advisory 2%.

Last year, KPMG announced a U.S. $4.2 billion investment plan over three years as part of its collective strategy to build trust and drive growth, with over U.S. $1.7 billion invested across the KPMG network in FY24, with a focus on technology and AI, talent and ESG.

In terms of KPMG's regional growth, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region was up 8%, the Americas up 4%, and Asia Pacific up 1%.

The firm also noted it has continued to invest in ESG services due to client demand, and previously addressed its commitment to becoming more responsible within its own business in the firm's report.
