Middle Market Advisory Successful business outcomes depend on having the right people in the right place at the right time. This is exactly what KPMG’s Middle Market Advisory practice offers. We provide services to privately owned companies, family owned businesses, smaller listed companies, new and expanding businesses, foreign owned subsidiaries, professional partnerships and superannuation funds. We work with these businesses to help them achieve their short, medium and longer term objectives taking into account the current and likely future market conditions. We help them find the answers to both the tactical and strategic issues that may hinder their path. In the face of a significantly changed economic environment, enterprises in the dynamic middle market sector need to be even more adaptable than usual. While many businesses in this sector seek advice on leveraging their growth to produce continuing prosperity, the recent changes in the economy mean that it’s back to basics. Ensuring that the strategic plan is sound and reflects current business conditions and that debt and equity levels of the business are in line with business objectives are key to the ongoing health of the business. Knowing what needs to be done to achieve business objectives is one thing but finding the time and resources to actually do it is another matter. Indeed, the typical growing mid-market business often lacks the internal resources to expand its business vision beyond the immediate horizon. Key executives are overburdened and find it difficult to deal with new and complex financial, operational, compliance and risk management challenges. In these circumstances, choosing the right professional adviser can be a ‘make or break’ business decision. How we can help KPMG has been working with businesses in the middle market for over a century. We know what makes them tick. We offer an extensive range of audit, tax, accounting and business advisory services that supplement and complement our clients’ existing management resources. We also help clients stretch their management and technical resources by providing our professionals for short and long-term secondments. We explore the full tax implications of decisions involving business structures, acquisitions and disposals, tax risk management, tax consolidation and profit distributions.
