KPMG has announced a global alliance with Anthropic to integrate Claude AI into its core business operations, expanding the use of generative AI across tax, legal, advisory and cybersecurity services for both employees and clients.

As part of the partnership, KPMG will embed Anthropic’s Claude AI models into its Digital Gateway platform, the company’s primary software environment used by professionals and clients for tax, legal and advisory workflows. The initiative will initially focus on delivering AI-powered capabilities for tax and legal services, while enabling broader enterprise AI adoption across the organisation.

The collaboration will also provide Claude access to KPMG’s global workforce of more than 276,000 employees across 138 countries and territories, marking one of the largest enterprise-wide generative AI deployments in the professional services sector.

According to Bill Thomas, the alliance reflects a broader commitment to responsible and trusted AI adoption.

“At KPMG, we’re innovating and redefining how work gets done,” said Thomas. “This global alliance with Anthropic reflects our shared commitment to responsible AI, prioritising security, trust and governance as KPMG firms scale these capabilities to our clients and people around the world.”

Daniela Amodei stated that KPMG’s adoption of Claude spans both internal operations and client-facing applications, including cybersecurity and private equity.

“KPMG works in industries where accuracy, accountability and trust aren’t optional, and they're applying the same standard to AI,” said Amodei. “They're rolling Claude out to 276,000 people across the business, and using it for client work in tax and private equity.”

Anthropic has also named KPMG a preferred partner for private equity services, with the two companies planning to jointly develop Claude-powered products for portfolio companies and enterprise clients.

The Digital Gateway platform, built on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, combines KPMG’s proprietary tools, tax expertise and client data within a unified environment. By integrating Claude Cowork and Managed Agents into the platform, KPMG professionals will be able to create AI agents and automate complex workflows directly within existing business systems.

According to Rema Serafi, tasks that previously required weeks of manual coordination and multiple software tools can now be completed in minutes using AI agents integrated into the platform.

The alliance also extends into cybersecurity applications, where KPMG and Anthropic teams plan to use Claude AI to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in critical enterprise systems under KPMG’s Trusted AI framework.

The partnership highlights the growing adoption of enterprise generative AI platforms within global professional services firms, particularly in highly regulated industries where governance, security and operational accuracy remain central to AI deployment strategies.
