KPMG and AGT have signed a partnership combining their expertise with SMEs, franchises and business groups.

Context of the KMPG – AGT partnership

This partnership is part of a shared desire to bring added value to their customers.

Every business needs to be able to regularly compare itself to other players in its industry, based on comparable geographic and sectoral criteria. Whether it's the number of covers and occupancy rates for the hotel and restaurant industry, or the evolution of margins by sales segment in the pharmacy industry, this is key data to support the company's accountant's mission.

As part of this partnership, AGT is providing KPMG accountants with its AGT Retail solution, which now allows them to provide business leaders with key sectoral and geographical indicators in order to compare company performance with that of the sector.

Scope of the partnership

 All data is accessible via a web connection, guaranteeing anonymity and confidentiality. The balance sheet and income statement are used to construct a diagnosis.

  • The KPMG accountant can assess the company's strengths and weaknesses based on each industry average (key ratios, region, location, size, workforce, etc.). They can also propose an action plan to improve its performance.
  • Simulations and forecasts determine trends and allow an action plan to be built.
  • A comparative dashboard constitutes a relevant barometer for the manager.

 SaaS technology provides a single, shared database in real time. The company and its accountant, KPMG, provide centralized, harmonized information. The company accesses its comparative dashboard each month, displaying alerts based on a comparable profile.
