Transform Your Tax Function from Reactive to Strategic
The indirect tax landscape is evolving rapidly – driven by regulatory complexity, digital transformation mandates, and the emergence of AI-powered tax solutions. With 61% of businesses incurring tax audits in the previous year and 47% of under-resourced tax departments facing penalties, the time for manual processes and reactive approaches has passed. As we approach 2026, tax leaders who build compelling business cases for automation and AI today will position their organizations for sustainable success tomorrow.
What You'll Learn:
- Quantify Your ROI: Master proven methods to calculate cost savings and risk reduction, and see how to showcase significant returns (like a 120% average three-year ROI from tax automation). Understand the hidden costs of manual processes and how AI can amplify efficiency gains.
- Develop Your Roadmap: Build a strong business case with a step-by-step approach that accounts for both traditional automation and emerging AI capabilities. Align automation with company gals and plan efficient implementation to minimize disruption.
- Secure Buy-in: Learn practical strategies to convince finance and C-suite by demonstrating how AI and automation transform tax from a cost center to a strategic function. Address budget hurdles and translate technical benefits into clear business value.
- Navigate Compliance: Understand how digital transformation and real-time reporting affect your strategy. Prepare for CTC and e-invoicing, building resilience against future regulatory changes.
Don't let another year pass with manual processes draining your resources and exposing your organization to compliance risks. Join us to build the foundation for a more efficient, strategic, and resilient tax function.
The future of indirect tax is automated, integrated, AI-enhanced and strategic. Your business case starts here.
