KPMG has a firm-funded contribution within the 401(k) plan equal to 6% -- 8% of eligible pay. This plan has market-leading flexibility as you can receive the contribution without any requirement to contribute your own money. The 401(k) Capital Accumulation Plan (401(k) CAP) offers employees the opportunity to save on a pre-tax basis, on a Roth 401(k) basis, and/or on an after-tax basis (additional catch-up contributions are also allowed if over age 50), all with the convenience of automatic payroll deduction. In addition, KPMG provides eligible employees an annual CAP contribution under the plan that can range from 6% to 8% of eligible pay, provided they have completed one year of service with the firm and attained age 21. In general, the CAP contribution is deposited to eligible participant accounts in the February following the end of the plan year (December 31) in which they have met the age and service requirements. You must be employed on the last business day of the year to receive the firm-funded CAP contribution. Unlike many companies, KPMG does not require employees to make 401(k) contributions in order to receive the firm's contribution. We believe that employees should have choice and control over their own personal cash to deploy as best meets their needs. You can select how you want to invest your own savings as well as the firm's contributions from among a menu of investment choices. Loans, hardship withdrawals, and in-service distributions are available to address “point in time” financial needs.
Auto-enrollment and Advice Access: Sixty days after you start employment with KPMG employees will be automatically enrolled in the savings feature of the 401(k) CAP with a pre-tax contribution election of 5% of eligible pay with automatic increases of 1% each November 1 to a maximum 8% pre-tax contribution rate. You have 30 days from your eligibility date to opt out or change your contribution rate. This auto-enrollment feature helps employees save for their future. Employees can elect to increase, reduce, or eliminate this savings election at any time. If you are classified as an intern, you will not be automatically enrolled, but you may make an affirmative election to contribute by contacting Merrill. If you do not visit the Merrill website to direct the investments of future contributions, then their contributions (and the firm's CAP contributions) will be automatically invested using the automated robo-advise feature known as Merrill Advice Access, which is available to participants at no additional cost. Advice Access provides personalized recommendations and can recommend an asset allocation, as well as individual investments, based on your personal financial circumstances. Advice Access uses investment allocation models from an independent third-party advise to create its recommendations.
Under KPMG’s Employee Referral Program, employees may be eligible to receive up to $4,000 for referring employees to the firm.
We recognize potential, nurture talent, and reward high performance. KPMG provides Celebrate Great awards to employees who exhibit our values, impact KPMG initiatives, and strengthen our culture. The firm also rewards employees for valuable contributions and years of service under the Career Milestones Program.
The Marcus Invest Independence-cleared Portfolio Program (Marcus Invest Program) by Goldman Sachs has been specifically designed for KPMG to provide our employees with access to professionally managed portfolios that adhere to the firm's independence requirements for investments and independence compliance reporting.
Note: The Marcus Invest Program is not available to partners/principals and Audit managing directors.

Flex with Purpose
How We Work
KPMG has transitioned to our Flex with Purpose work model, a consistent but flexible way of working that creates opportunities for purposeful collaboration as we move between in-person and remote work.
With Flex with Purpose, the large majority of our people are designated as hybrid, spending some days in person at offices and/or client sites and some working remotely, depending on the needs of our clients, and individual and collective team needs. Flex with Purpose is about empowering flexibility and well-being, while still participating in in-person activities that are well planned, intentional, and purposeful.
Flex with Purpose Guiding Principles
Empowered
We are empowered to collaborate in ways that work for our culture, clients, and for us personally to build trust, resilience, wellbeing, compassion, and authenticity.

We are on a long-term journey—together and for better—and will leverage our Values to support our clients and each other to deliver excellence now and in the future.
Flex with Purpose Model
Hybrid
Using a combination of in-person and virtual work, hybrid is the norm for the large majority of our people, to balance an exceptional client, partner, and employee experience.
*Professionals designated as hybrid must be within a commutable distance to the office to which they are assigned. Commutable distance is defined as a distance that would not interfere with your ability to be in your assigned office when needed to satisfactorily fulfill your job duties, as determined by your practice or group.
Fully Remote
A limited number of individuals/teams are fully remote, depending on the nature of their work, with the rare circumstances that may require in-person work at an office or client site.
Office Based
A limited number of individuals/teams are in-person more often, depending on the nature of their work.

Our efforts also extend to our clients, whereby engagement teams are encouraged to consider both traditional and non-traditional ways of demonstrating the firm’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
"We must continue to evolve the way we operate
so that we can continue to deliver top-quality to our clients and meet their changing needs while reducing our carbon footprint. The environment demands it, our clients demand it, and we demand it of ourselves. Our commitment to sustainability is and will continue to be a foundational part of all business decisions we make across the firm.”
