KPMG Digital Gateway is built with the C-suite in mind. It puts easy-to-use technology in the hands of non-technologists, so that business leaders can leverage insights to help predict what’s ahead. Digital Gateway offers a holistic view of a company’s total tax and finance data, in real time, and within a single platform. Business leaders use Digital Gateway’s data-driven applications, powerful modeling tools and interactive visualizations to help inform strategy, forecast outcomes, plan tax requirements, minimize risk, generate cost savings, and, ultimately, drive tangible business results.

KPMG and Microsoft have augmented the Digital Gateway platform with three new applications – Tax Advance, Data Factory and Connected Modeling. The latter two process, synthesize and visualize data from an organization’s ERP system, while Tax Advance is a cloud-based collaboration tool that uses Microsoft technology to connect and optimize an organization’s existing document management, process and workflow approaches within the tax and finance functions.
