KPMG has been operating in Greece for 40 years. It offers audit, tax, advisory and bookkeeping services to domestic and international businesses.
"They are professional, accurate, [with a] good knowledge of issues," says one client, adding: "The only issue that I would like to mention is their fees. I find these expensive and suggest that [they] could decrease especially [in] this period of finance crisis that applies to Greece."
George Mavraganis, based in Athens, is head of the tax department leading a team of six partners and three fee earners.
With offices in Athens and Thessaloniki, the firm employs around 400 professionals, most with specialised expertise. Energy, pharmaceuticals and food are key sectors for the firm, which has a number of ongoing deals in all three.
Over the past 12 months the firm has been most active in ccorporate taxation and transfer pricing. The firm represented clients on the restructuring of large Greek groups and foreign groups with a presence in Greece.
In a deal still being worked on, Mavraganis and Effie Adamidou are assisting in the preparation of a transfer pricing file for the Greek Public Gas and Energy Company. This is the first time a file is being prepared for a public interest company.
The firm has also represented clients in the energy and pharmaceutical sectors on tax disputes before the Tax Committee of Disputes.
