PwC is deploying Claude to build technology, execute deals, and reinvent enterprise functions for clients across every industry it serves. PwC will roll out Claude Code and Cowork starting with U.S. teams and expanding toward a global workforce of hundreds of thousands of professionals. The companies are establishing a joint Center of Excellence and a program to train and certify 30,000 PwC professionals on Claude. The collaboration focuses on agentic technology build, AI-native deal-making, and reinvention of the enterprise function. PwC is launching a new finance business group called the Office of the CFO built on Claude as the first standalone business unit anchored in Anthropic's technology.
