Artificial Intelligence is one of the most talked-about topics in the tax world. But beyond the buzz, what does it really mean for advisers and their clients?
AI is transforming how we work. It brings efficiency and accuracy to data processing, compliance, and even spotting complex planning opportunities. It can analyse vast amounts of information in seconds—something no human can match.
Yet there is a crucial caveat: AI is a starting point, not the final answer. Its outputs must always be checked and interpreted with professional judgement. Relying on it blindly risks costly mistakes.
Some fear this technology could one day replace advisers. I see it differently. For me, AI creates an opportunity rather than a threat.
The role of a tax adviser has never been just about crunching numbers. Going forward, it will be even less about acting as a “technical calculator” and far more about offering what AI cannot—human insight. That means understanding a business owner’s goals, their worries, and their ambitions. It means building trust, giving foresight, and offering advice that truly makes a difference.
In this sense, AI is the technical backbone, but people are at the heart of decision-making. By embracing this shift, advisers evolve into trusted partners—guiding clients not just through tax rules, but through the bigger decisions that shape their businesses and their lives.
The future of tax is human. If you want to explore how this balance of technology and trusted advice can work for you, we would be happy to talk.
