Enabling action through comparison
Establishing industry benchmarks is essential to any acquisition or transaction. But all too often, company benchmarking doesn’t provide the details and context required to pinpoint vulnerabilities or opportunities, or to make a truly informed decision
More data to compare means better business benchmarking. That’s why Benchmarking Plus goes beyond the usual publicly sourced data to set standards that really matter. The platform leverages KPMG’s robust, proprietary database which gleans information from our engagements with 1,000+ private companies and large volumes of third party data.
Benchmarking Plus gives you access to a rich, accurate data set from your distinct peer group and enables us to compare and analyze your most important KPIs against the most relevant benchmarks, virtually on demand. We’re often able to deliver the data and insights you need in a matter of hours – a huge advantage in transactions.
