KPMG will roll out the Claude model to its 276,000 employees worldwide. The deal with Anthropic also covers its integration into client-facing tools.
The firm draws on two years of experimentation conducted in the United States, notably within its AI and Data Labs.
The most structurally transformative integration concerns Digital Gateway, KPMG’s internal platform built on Microsoft Azure, which centralizes client data, the firm’s proprietary tools, and its expertise—particularly in tax. Claude is integrated there via two components: Cowork and Managed Agents, which allow teams to design AI tools directly within the existing workspace environment.
The firm cites the example of developing an agent capable of helping clients adapt to changes in tax regulations within minutes. A task that previously took several weeks and required switching between multiple tools.
Cybersecurity and private equity
Two other areas are explicitly targeted. In cybersecurity, KPMG and Anthropic plan to use Claude to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in critical systems, as part of the firm’s Trusted AI framework.
On the private equity front, KPMG becomes a preferred partner for deploying Claude to portfolio companies of investment funds. The firm has developed a dedicated offering, KPMG Blaze, which integrates Claude Code to help these companies modernize their IT systems and accelerate the development of new tools.
The deal also includes an academic dimension. KPMG conducts joint research with the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin on how the value of AI deployments depends on human behaviors—judgment, assessment of results, and the design of workflows—rather than on technology alone.
