The average º£½ÇÊÓÆµ partner pay at KPMG increased to £717,000 last year thanks to a boom in the deal making market.

The success for the professional services giant helped it offset a number of fines for audit failures and misconduct.

KPMG has reported a 16% rise in its fee income to £2.72bn for the year to September 2022

However its profits only increased by 3% to £449m after the firm was hit by inflation and fines by º£½ÇÊÓÆµ regulators, which included a record £14.4m over the misleading of inspectors on the audits of outsourcers Carillion and Regenersis.

Its average partner pay in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ rose from the £688,000 in the previous financial year but the total is still below its other Big Four rivals.

During their latest financial years, Deloitte and PwC paid their partners over £1m while EY handed out £803,000 on average.

According to the latest figures from KPMG, its annual wage bill grew by £132m after it handed 16,000 of its employees increases of between £2,000 and £4,000 in May last year on top of its annual autumn pay round.
