KPMG Workday Practice
KPMG has a significant Workday practice in Canada, with team members across the nation (spanning regions such as Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and the GTA, Montreal and Halifax).

Most recently, KPMG received the highest possible ranking of “Leader” among Workday implementation partners in the Forrester New Wave™ Workday implementation report from 2019.
