KPMG Advisory

Who we are:

KPMG Netherlands is part of a global network of professional firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory services. With over 4,100 employees in the Netherlands in 12 offices, we contribute to progress that benefits people and society.

What we do:

We help our clients achieve the growth and/or progress they aim for. Combining the latest technologies with what we have built up in the past century at KPMG: a foundation of knowledge, expertise and independent thought. Everything we do is based on the KPMG

values: Integrity, Excellence, Courage, Together and For Better.

Culture:

You will encounter an open and informal culture. A stimulating mix of entrepreneurship, creativity and team spirit. You can be yourself, feel appreciated and know that you can make a difference. At KPMG you are given a lot of responsibility early on and the freedom to develop yourself. Both professionally and personally. You will grow rapidly thanks to the diversity of engagements and the innovations you are involved with.

Inclusion & Diversity:

We strive for a working environment where everyone feels involved and valued, and where there is room for all employees, regardless of origin, age, gender or disability. A diverse and inclusive culture leads to more trust, more growth and helps us stand up for what is right.

Corporate Responsibility:

We have a high responsibility towards society. We believe it is important to give something back to society and focus on corporate responsibility. Every day we work towards a sustainable and fair world. Whether it concerns complex issues within our monitoring and consultancy work, thinking about a new mobility policy or stimulating innovation within education.

My name is Peter and I studied Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente from 2007 to 2013. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my student years in Enschede and at Abacus. During that time, I was actively involved in various committees and served as chairman of the 42nd board. I was also among the last students to complete the Applied Mathematics Master’s track in Financial Engineering, which combined stochastics, systems and signals theory, and finance.

After graduating, I joined KPMG Advisory as a consultant in the Financial Risk Management (FRM) team, where I have now been working for almost 12 years. Within FRM, we support clients across the financial services sector with a wide range of risk management challenges, both quantitative and qualitative in nature. The team consists of around 150 colleagues from diverse nationalities, genders and academic backgrounds, including non-financial disciplines such as mathematics and physics. In many ways, it reminds me of Abacus: alongside the serious work, we also place strong emphasis on social activities, including sports events, trips, lectures and informal get-togethers.

My own work primarily focuses on quantitative engagements within the insurance sector, where I help clients leverage AI, optimise their actuarial data, models and processes, as well as perform portfolio valuations and analyses. I’m always happy to share more about my work, and about the broader opportunities at KPMG for mathematicians, including roles within advisory teams such as AI & Data and Forensic Technology, or in our Digital Assurance and Innovation team.

We are thankful and proud to announce that KPMG is a sponsor for the AM-ACD of 2026.
