Hong Kong accounting firms are planning to boost hiring in 2026 while increasing the use of AI, according to industry leaders.
KPMG China and other major firms said they do not expect AI to replace human staff and have not reduced hiring as AI adoption grows.
KPMG China, one of the city’s largest accounting firms, said AI is being used to improve efficiency and support staff in new job roles, particularly in areas requiring data analysis.
Deloitte China announced plans in October to hire around 1,000 people in Hong Kong and invest HK$500 million (US$64 million) over four years to expand its fintech, capital markets, and AI capabilities.
Hong Kong’s government is supporting AI development through funding and early-career training initiatives.
