      Generative AI : the missing puzzle piece

      For tax departments, AI is no longer a new frontier or abstract concept. And as companies infuse AI into everything they do, they’re met with new hurdles as professionals learn what AI integration looks like in practice.

      A vast majority of leaders (88%) believe generative AI is the key to helping their organizations navigate the challenges brought on by Pillar Two.


      Tax departments: A steadying force

      Many organizations recognize the need for external support to help their tax department’s efficiency, impact and overall influence.

      It's not just about streamlining processes or crunching numbers; tax professionals working with generative AI can provide a revolutionary step forward in leveraging data and knowledge to fuel accuracy, insights, and strategic innovation in tax management.
