Our Sourcing Advisory practice is continually ranked as one of the 'The World's Best’ according to independent assessor IAOP.

No other firm combines the data, methods and practical experience in shared services delivery and outsourcing with the broad, global transformation capabilities that KPMG brings to its clients.
Demand for KPMG’s Sourcing & Procurement Advisory (SPA) service line, which sits within KPMG’s Management Consulting practice has led to the creation of a Manager position to grow KPMG’s SPA capabilities in Canberra.
