- KPMG US launched a 6-week pilot with about 30 tax experts collaborating with engineers to build software using “vibe coding.”
- Despite having no deep technical background, the tax staff managed to create functional software prototypes after the program.
- Teams of 4–6 people built tax process automation tools, integrated multi-system data, and created capital analyses that previously required extensive manual effort.
- KPMG stated that some products from the pilot are already being used by clients to manage workflows and tax data.
- Previously, tax experts only proposed ideas; now they can directly create the first version of the software.
- New process: create a fast prototype → hand over to engineers to finalize with full security and infrastructure.
- Employees were supported by technical mentors and used vibe coding platforms alongside professional developer tools.
- The company is considering establishing dozens of hybrid tax-engineer teams to develop AI products, aiming for the “10x consultant.”
📌 KPMG is redefining the role of the expert: from software user to software creator. With the vibe coding model, development time is drastically shortened, accelerating time-to-market. When business expertise combines directly with tool-building capability, the boundary between business and technology vanishes, opening up a new HR model with productivity levels many times higher than traditional ones.
