Crowe helps tax departments operationalize AI through trusted business logic and governed automation

Built with Alteryx, Crowe enables trusted AI through repeatable workflows that improve confidence, governance and business value

CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowe Advisory LLC, a professional services firm, is expanding how it helps tax departments operationalize artificial intelligence, combining tax expertise and AI capabilities with trusted business logic and governed automation enabled by Alteryx, the agentic analytics and automation company.

As tax departments explore AI, many are discovering that moving from experimentation to enterprise adoption requires more than AI tools alone. Organizations require business logic and governed workflows that make processes visible, understandable, repeatable and auditable. Through Alteryx's analytics and automation platform, Crowe helps organizations deploy AI in ways that are repeatable, trusted and scalable. Governed data automation provides the foundation for AI-enabled workflows that improve confidence while maintaining consistency and control.

Rather than applying AI indiscriminately, Crowe helps tax departments determine where automation, AI and human expertise each create the greatest value. Instead of treating an entire tax engagement as a single AI opportunity, Crowe breaks complex tax workflows into discrete, repeatable tasks that enable clients to modernize incrementally while maintaining governance, quality and professional judgment. Built-in validation, quality checks and traceable processes improve confidence in AI-generated outputs by helping identify potential issues before work is delivered.

By applying AI strategically and using Alteryx's trusted business logic and governed automation, Crowe helps tax departments reduce unnecessary AI processing, better manage AI consumption costs and create more predictable operating models.

"AI creates speed, but governance creates trust," said Matt Paparella, Partner, Crowe Studio and Tax AI Leader. "Tax executives are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that AI can deliver measurable business value without increasing risk. By combining governed automation, AI and tax expertise, we help tax leaders move AI into day-to-day tax operations with the consistency and controls they need at scale, enabling them to demonstrate the value of their AI investments to executive leadership."

Crowe's tax transformation capabilities are designed to support clients at every stage of their AI journey, from foundational education and workflow development to capability building and accelerated implementation. Depending on a client's needs, Crowe can provide enablement, workflow development, managed services or a combination of those capabilities.

An example of this approach is Project Velocity, a four-week guided sprint that helps organizations prioritize AI and automation use cases, remove implementation barriers, accelerate workflow development and turn their own tax processes into working solutions. The framework goes beyond traditional training by combining strategic enablement with hands-on implementation, helping client teams immediately apply new skills while building long-term capability.

"Every tax department's transformation journey looks different," said Aaron Foster, Crowe Tax Transformation Director. "Some organizations need help implementing technology, some are ready to build their own capabilities and others want ongoing support. Our role is to meet clients where they are and deliver the right combination of technology, enablement and expertise while helping them build lasting capabilities within their own tax organizations."

By helping tax departments operationalize AI through governed automation, Crowe is enabling tax executives to adopt AI with greater confidence while delivering measurable business value, preserving trust in AI-assisted work and maintaining the consistency and professional judgment that define effective tax functions.
