Tax planning and optimization

Automates✓ Available Now

What You Do Today

Identify tax-saving opportunities — Roth conversions, charitable giving strategies, capital gains management, income timing — and coordinate with the client's CPA to execute.

AI That Applies

AI identifies tax planning opportunities across client accounts, models the multi-year impact of strategies like Roth conversions, and optimizes timing of taxable events.

Technologies

How It Works

The system reads the current state — resource availability, demand patterns, and constraints — to inform its scheduling logic. The processing layer applies the appropriate analytical models to the structured data, generating scored outputs that surface the most actionable insights. The output is a recommended plan or schedule that accounts for the identified constraints and optimization criteria.

What Changes

Tax opportunities are identified automatically across the portfolio. Multi-year impact modeling makes strategy decisions more informed.

What Stays

Coordinating with CPAs, explaining strategies to clients, and adapting to tax law changes. Tax planning is as much about client behavior as it is about math.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for tax planning and optimization, understand your current state.

Map your current process: Document how tax planning and optimization works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
Identify the judgment points: Coordinating with CPAs, explaining strategies to clients, and adapting to tax law changes. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support tax planning modules in financial planning software tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long tax planning and optimization takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.

Start These Conversations

Who to talk to and what to ask

your VP Operations or COO

What's the current accuracy of our forecasting, and how would we know if an AI model is actually better?

They're prioritizing which operational processes to automate

your process improvement or lean lead

Which historical data do we have that's clean enough to train a prediction model on?

They understand the workflow dependencies that AI tools need to respect
