KPMG recognized as a Horizon 3 Market Leader by HFS Research for Workday Services

KPMG is proud to be named a Horizon 3 Market Leader in Workday Services in the HFS Horizons report: Workday Services, 2025.

The report states: “KPMG’s Workday vision centers on full enterprise transformation, not just HCM or finance implementation. The programs are designed to tie Workday delivery directly to measurable business outcomes such as financial close acceleration, payroll error reduction, and workforce planning accuracy. This business-led focus is reinforced through fee-at-risk models and outcome-tracking frameworks embedded from the start.”

The HFS Horizons report examines 17 service providers and evaluates how they drive innovation through Workday’s Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial Management (FM) modules, enabling enterprises to optimize workforce planning, payroll, finance, and compliance while integrating with enterprise systems. The study assesses vendor capabilities and industry solutions that help maximize business value.
