KPMG UK is reducing employment in its support or back-office functions, according to company statements reported by multiple outlets. In the latest round of cuts, KPMG UK plans to eliminate about 200 back-office roles, which the firm describes as roughly 10% of staffing within its support teams.
The job reductions follow earlier changes at the firm. In March, KPMG UK cut more than 400 roles from its UK audit division. In reporting on that earlier round, KPMG cited limited “natural attrition” as one factor behind the decision.
Taken together, the reports describe a sequence of workforce reductions across different parts of the firm—first affecting auditing roles, and then focusing on back-office functions. No details are provided across the cited sources on the total number of employees affected beyond these figures, the timing of the layoffs, or whether the cuts are tied to a specific restructuring timeline. The updates are presented as part of an ongoing cost and staffing adjustment by the Big Four accountancy firm.
