KPMG opens Claude to 276,000 staff worldwide

KPMG is expanding Claude from a US deployment to all employees across 138 markets, embedding Claude Cowork and Managed Agents in its Azure-based Digital Gateway.

KPMG is not treating Claude as a loose chatbot. The alliance puts Anthropic inside tax, legal and client-service workflows, then uses KPMG’s private-equity network to carry Claude into portfolio companies.

The important point is not just the announcement itself, but how it changes the balance between AI vendors, customers and regulators.
