Hi there,
Indicative ranking (varies by region, but broadly):
- EY-Parthenon – strongest brand overall, especially in commercial due diligence and corporate strategy; very strong PE exposure.
- KPMG GSG – highly respected in transactions/strategy, slightly behind EYP in scale but strong exits.
- PwC Strategy& – good legacy in some regions (e.g., Middle East, Germany) but still integrating fully into PwC brand. Strong in certain industries like energy.
- Deloitte Monitor – more corporate/innovation-focused, often less deals exposure, though some offices (e.g., US, Canada) have strong reputations.
Standouts:
- EY-Parthenon: PE-focused CDD powerhouse, solid global brand.
- KPMG GSG: Transaction-oriented, tight link to deals practice, strong stepping stone.
- Strategy&: Industry depth, heritage from Booz, strong in ME.
- Monitor Deloitte: Known for corporate/innovation strategy, strong thought leadership in some sectors.
So yes, KPMG GSG is competitive, particularly if you want exposure to high-impact transaction-driven projects and MBB/PE exits.
Best,
Evelina
