New regulations
From Brexit to e-invoicing, new regulations are a common headache for tax teams. Automation will help you to adhere to whatever the world throws at you.

Eliminating the risk of errors or gaps in your master data causing non-compliance further down the line is a must for all tax professionals.
The era of digitalisation

Business expansion
Manual processes often start to creak as your business grows. But with Alteryx, every workflow is scalable to meet all future requirements.
How Alteryx transforms tax
Alteryx is set to shake up the way tax teams across the world work. It’s simple automation; quick and easy to implement, guaranteed to provide a substantial return on investment and completely tailored to your needs.
It works like this:
Real-life usage scenarios
Scenario 1
ERPs and tax engines do not typically follow the same formatting, fields or integrations. With no one-size-fits-all solution, it is common to find discrepancies in data taken from each platform.
Many issues are caused by an incorrect combination of values (e.g. ship to locations). Alteryx can check invoices for certain conditions after tax is calculated within an ERP and/or third-party system and isolate such instances.
Any errors or issues are identified instantly and can be immediately resolved. Users will save hours of time compared with using traditional methods, such as combining Excel files and using filters and vlookups to pick up on problems.
Scenario 2
Sales & Use Tax filing processes
Many tax teams still rely on Excel to report out tax filings and highlight potential inaccuracies. As tax becomes more digitalised, the risks of this approach become greater.
Alteryx is used to create repeatable workflows that streamline tax reporting. Its user-friendly interface provides complete visibility of real-time data.
Tax teams will benefit from a significantly reduced workload as Alteryx workflows ensure tax returns are reliably and accurately filled. In addition, the risk of human error is eliminated.
Scenario 3
Tax exemption certificates
Exemption certificates can be a huge burden for companies, particularly if the administration is completed in-house via manual processes that are susceptible to human error.
Alteryx can be deployed to identify expired and upcoming certificates, as well as those that are missing or invalid. It provides a comprehensive, automated ‘care taking’ system.
Tax teams will no longer need to check, maintain or act upon expired, missing and invalid certificates.

Our approach
We’re not the same as other implementation partners. We won’t offer a quick fix based on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Instead, our team of Alteryx specialists will work to understand your business and explore your existing infrastructure before building bespoke
workflows within Alteryx to meet your precise tax objectives. All with almost zero human input; saving you time, reducing costs and eliminating risk.
It’s what we call our uniquely investigatory approach and it’s based on these three steps:
Before you automate, you must optimise. Our experts will work with your team in a series of workshops to understand and document your current processes.
Once optimised, our specialists will transition your manual processes to Alteryx. This will include building all the required controls to support a fully automated workflow.
As part of the deployment and testing phase, we’ll run your new automated workflows in parallel with existing processes to ensure the correct outcome is reached every time.
