KPMG moves offices to One American Place from Riverside Tower North

Global audit, tax and advisory firm KPMG has moved its Baton Rouge offices from Riverside Tower North after 25 years at the 450 Laurel St. tower. The Netherlands-based firm, which has roughly 40 employees in Baton Rouge, relocated to One American Place, 301 Main St., late last week. The firm says the move is part of KPMG’s “Workplace of the Future” initiative, which aims for facilities that accommodate more flexible and collaborative workspaces to better support the firm’s business goals. “We recognize that the way our professionals work and interact with clients is changing,” says Perry Leslie, KPMG’s Baton Rouge office managing partner, in a news release. “For example, we’re spending less time in the office and more time with clients and when we’re in the office, we need flexible space that supports greater collaboration.” The firm’s Baton Rouge office relocation follows similar moves made in Denver, Chicago, Boise and Tampa. —Staff report
