What is it?
KPMG is one of the Big Four professional services firms, covering audit, tax, and advisory work. This alliance makes Anthropic's Claude a standard tool inside KPMG, both for its own staff and inside the platform it sells to clients. It follows a similar expanded alliance Anthropic announced with PwC.
How does it work?
Claude Cowork and Managed Agents are embedded directly into KPMG Digital Gateway, the firm's client-delivery platform built on Microsoft Azure that combines tax insights, proprietary tools, and client data in one environment. Staff and clients build agentic workflows inside the platform itself. A separate offering, KPMG Blaze, embeds Claude Code to help private equity portfolio companies modernize legacy IT systems.
Why does it matter?
It puts Claude in front of 276,000 professionals and their clients, with an initial focus on tax and private equity work. KPMG in the US becomes a preferred consultant for deploying Anthropic's models to PE clients, and the firms cite cybersecurity vulnerability identification and remediation among the early use cases.
