KPMG Opens Newest and Largest Ignition Center

KPMG has opened the KPMG Ignition Center – Chicago on the 68h floor of the Aon Center. It’s the largest and reportedly the most technologically-advanced of the firm’s Ignition Centers, which KPMG uses to help clients navigate advances in tech and modernize their businesses.

KPMG selected Chicago for its newest Ignition Center in part due to the breadth of industry sectors and businesses located in the Chicagoland area, convenient access to transportation and access to talent.

The Chicago office, KPMG’s second largest, houses more than 2,500 partners and professionals who serve more than 1,000 publically and privately-held companies in the Chicago area across audit, tax and advisory services.

“Having a KPMG Ignition Center in Chicago enables us to not only help solve their complex business problems, but also to attract and retain the new types of talent critical to KPMG’s continued growth,” said Linda Imonti, Chicago office managing principal.

Connect Chicago is coming up on May 14! Click here to register for the event.
