About Us

The Definitive Authority on Value, Risk, and Transactions

Kroll is a global financial and risk advisory firm with nearly 100 years of history and a singular reputation: we are the first firm called when decisions are complex, contested, or carry material capital at risk. Headquartered in New York with offices in more than 30 countries and territories, our 6,500 experts serve as trusted advisors to six out of ten Fortune 500 companies. Our heritage traces back to 1932, when Duff & Phelps was founded. Over nearly a century, two world-class firms became the best in the world at what they did — and when they came together, they created something greater than either could have built alone. Today, that legacy lives in one unified firm, one P&L, and one team: One Kroll. Named Consultancy and Advisory Company of the Year at the 2026 City AM Awards, ranked No. 1 globally for fairness opinions by LSEG, and consistently recognised by Chambers and Partners, Global Investigations Review, and Global Arbitration Review, our excellence has been independently validated across every discipline we practice..

Who we are

The Experts Behind the Firm

We are a team of 6,500 specialists who bring depth that generalist advisors cannot match. Our people come from backgrounds in government, intelligence, law, forensic accounting, cybersecurity, investment banking, real estate, and regulatory compliance — which means when a situation escalates or becomes multijurisdictional, we have seen it before. We are structured without barriers: teams are assembled around client needs, not internal hierarchies. Because we are independent of audit and tax conflicts, we advise solely in your interest, without the constraints or compromises that come with being part of a larger accounting or legal network. We are built for situations that demand judgment alongside expertise, and we continuously invest in technology, data platforms, and real-time analytics that give our clients faster insight and greater transparency in an increasingly complex world.

What we do

Expertise Across the Entire Risk and Transaction Lifecycle

Kroll delivers across every stage of the transaction and risk lifecycle through three interconnected practice areas. In Financial Advisory, we provide independent valuation, M&A transaction support, fairness opinions, real estate and fixed asset advisory, tax and transfer pricing services, and access to our Private Capital Markets Platform — helping companies measure value with confidence at every point in the deal cycle. In Risk Advisory, we help clients detect, manage, and neutralize the full spectrum of enterprise risk, from cyber and data resilience and corporate investigations to financial services compliance, regulatory monitorship, restructuring, and enterprise security. In Business Services, we serve as the operational backbone for complex administrative needs — managing claims and noticing administration, debt restructuring and liability management, agency and trustee services, and government solutions. Across all three, the common thread is the same: proprietary data, frontline intelligence, and the judgment that comes from nearly a century of practice.

Our Purpose

Staying Ahead of What the World Throws at Business

Our purpose is to help clients stay ahead — ahead of risk, ahead of regulation, ahead of complexity, and ahead of the moments that can permanently alter an organization's trajectory. We exist to bring clarity to decisions that carry consequences, whether that is a board navigating a contested transaction, a management team responding to a cyberattack, or a global institution trying to understand the true value of what it holds. We believe that the best advisory work does not just answer the question in front of you — it builds the institutional confidence, governance frameworks, and operational resilience that protect organizations for the long term. That belief has guided us for nearly 100 years, and it shapes every engagement we take on today.

Our Values

The Six Principles That Define How We Work

Excellence is a mindset — we do challenging work and pursue extraordinary results, relentlessly, for our clients and for each other. Ambition drives us to keep learning and keep growing, because comfort and excellence rarely coexist. Courage means we make bold decisions, not just the easy ones — we find, reveal, and tell the truth because integrity is the foundation of everything we do. Inclusion means we embrace, respect, and value one another, and we support and care about the communities where we live and work. Innovation pushes us to discover new ways to create value, harnessing the power of smart data and technology to enable faster decisions and anticipate what comes next. And One Team, One Kroll reminds us that we are stronger together — always focused on solutions, never on silos, and collaborating across borders and disciplines to pursue the best possible outcome.

Why working with us

One Firm, Fully on Your Side

Clients come to Kroll because we offer something rare in the advisory world: genuine independence, genuine depth, and no conflicts of interest. We are not part of a broader audit network or a global law firm — which means the advice we give is never shaped by a relationship we are trying to protect somewhere else. Our structure puts the right people on your work without internal politics or geographic boundaries getting in the way. We bring multidisciplinary teams to complex situations, combining valuation, cyber, investigations, compliance, and transaction expertise under a single engagement when needed. We are also a firm that invests in the future of advisory itself — through real-time analytics platforms, cloud-based risk monitoring, and technology-enabled transparency that gives clients faster answers and greater confidence at every stage of a decision.

Sustainability

Doing Business the Right Way, Not the Easy Way

We approach our sustainability efforts with the same rigor and commitment that we bring to the clients we serve. That means setting measurable targets, holding ourselves accountable to external standards, and continuously improving year on year. Our carbon reduction plan is a commitment to reduce our emissions footprint by 2030. It comprises near-term science-based targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Kroll commits to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 70% from a 2022 base year by 2030, and to reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting by 25% within the same timeframe. We measure our complete greenhouse gas footprint annually through Watershed and report through external platforms, including CDP and EcoVadis.

Community & Impact

Giving Back Is Part of Who We Are

Our Kroll Cares program supports philanthropic efforts across Kroll and is a promise to make a positive, ongoing impact as an organization. Kroll Cares is a critical part of our ethos and a cornerstone of who we are. Our people share their time, talent, and resources in support of the communities where we live and work. Each September, Kroll colleagues unite for Kroll Cares Month — a dedicated initiative focused on making a lasting impact worldwide. In 2024, more than 60 Kroll offices partnered with over 100 organizations worldwide to host hands-on volunteering events and fundraising opportunities. From supporting mission-driven causes to educational programming to pro bono advisory work, our people come together as One Team, One Kroll to back causes that reflect the values we hold every other day of the year. As our firm grows, so does our responsibility as good corporate citizens — and this is more than a box we check. It is an essential part of how we do business worldwide.

Inclusion & Diversity

Every Voice Shapes Better Work

Through the work of our I&D Council and employee networks — including the Veterans Employee Network, Pride Network, Network of Women, Women in Technology, and Black Employee Network — we bring together diverse viewpoints, backgrounds, cultures and experiences to drive inclusive partnerships and recruiting initiatives, celebrate key moments, and empower our teams to deliver exceptional results for our clients. We have built partnerships with institutions including the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and Howard University to strengthen and diversify our talent pipeline at entry level, actively investing in leaders whose backgrounds have historically been underrepresented in professional services. We value the diverse backgrounds and perspectives that enable us to think globally, and we create transparency in an opaque world. That principle extends to everything: the teams we build, the suppliers we work with, and the communities we serve.
