May 19, 2026 Announcements KPMG integrates Claude across its core business and workforce of more than 276,000 in strategic alliance

KPMG integrates Claude across its core business and workforce of more than 276,000 in strategic alliance KPMG—one of the world's largest professional services firms for audit, tax, legal, and advisory services across 138 countries and territories—has announced a global alliance with Anthropic to bring Claude into the heart of its business. As part of this alliance, KPMG is embedding Claude inside Digital Gateway, the software KPMG's people and clients use to do the actual work—starting with new tools for tax and legal clients. And every one of KPMG's 276,000+ employees globally will gain access to Claude. Anthropic is also naming KPMG a preferred partner for private equity, and the two companies will build new Claude-powered products together for PE portfolio companies. KPMG and Claude KPMG helps organizations in various industries work together to transform, innovate, and effectively compete in tomorrow’s fast-changing world. Integrating AI across its core business furthers this mission—and requires trust and diligence. “At KPMG, we’re innovating and redefining how work gets done,” said Bill Thomas, Global Chairman and CEO, KPMG International. “This global alliance with Anthropic reflects our shared commitment to responsible AI, prioritizing security, trust, and governance as KPMG firms scale these capabilities to our clients and people around the world.” “KPMG works in industries where accuracy, accountability, and trust aren’t optional, and they're applying the same standard to AI. They’re rolling Claude out to 276,000 people across the business, and using it for client work in tax and private equity. They're also bringing it into cybersecurity, where it helps find and fix vulnerabilities. That's what a firm-wide commitment to AI looks like, and we're proud to be the partner they chose,” said Daniela Amodei, Co-founder and President of Anthropic. Claude for 276,000+ KPMG people Beyond the client-facing platform, every KPMG employee—all 276,000+ of them—will have access to Claude. That builds on two years of adoption inside KPMG in the US, including its AI and Data Labs, and the firm's internal teams. As the rollout expands, KPMG and Anthropic will work with shared clients to co-develop new offerings, and modernize business functions by bringing Claude into more of KPMG’s business functions to help their team solve problems that weren't solvable before. Cybersecurity is one of those areas. Across the alliance, KPMG and Anthropic teams will use Claude to find and fix vulnerabilities in critical systems, with the work guided by KPMG's Trusted AI framework. “Our clients depend on us where accuracy, judgment, and knowledge matter most,” said Tim Walsh, Chair and CEO of KPMG US. “AI is changing how we deliver—trust and innovation are the core of this new offering and we’re proud to partner with Anthropic to deliver incredible value to our clients and our people. It’s one of the most important things we'll do.” Claude powers KPMG’s Digital Gateway platform Digital Gateway is KPMG's main platform for client work—built on Microsoft Azure, it's where KPMG's tax expertise, proprietary tools, and client data live together, and where KPMG's people build the AI tools they use…
