New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - KPMG and Anthropic today announced KPMG Digital Gateway Powered by Claude, bringing Anthropic's frontier AI directly into KPMG's client delivery platform. The launch is part of a global alliance, with an initial focus on tax clients and private equity (PE) firms. By embedding Claude into Digital Gateway, KPMG's market leading AI-enabled platform, clients can build agentic workflows in real time to help drive better outcomes. KPMG in the U.S. will also embed Claude into its PE-focused product offerings, and the two organizations will co-develop new Claude-powered products for portfolio companies.
"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.
"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."
The alliance brings together Anthropic's frontier AI, KPMG professionals' domain experience, and a shared commitment to security and trust in AI.
- Claude Cowork and Managed Agents embedded inside Digital Gateway. Digital Gateway is KPMG's global technology platform, built on Microsoft Azure, that combines KPMG tax insights, proprietary tools, and client data in one environment. It's where KPMG professionals already build the AI tools they use every day to serve clients. With Claude embedded, professionals and clients work with AI inside the platform itself, building new capabilities in real time.
"Building an AI agent to help clients adjust to changing tax regulations used to take weeks and required teams to switch between multiple tools and chat windows," said Rema Serafi, Vice Chair, Tax at KPMG US. "With Cowork and Managed Agents integrated in Digital Gateway, that same capability takes minutes. This is a totally different way of working."
