Our Take
While other solutions are branding themselves as AI and automation focused, Wolters Kluwer’s Taxprep solution has focused on the fundamentals. The vendor has prioritized building tax form templates into its application as soon as the Canada Revenue Agency makes them available in digital form.
Organizations looking to further automate tax filing processes can leverage robotic process automation (RPA) while still using Canada-centric solutions like Taxprep. RPA will mimic a human interacting with the application in a predetermined manner without the need for APIs. The result will decrease time spent on monotonous tasks and increase the consistency of process outputs.
Overall, Taxprep is a tool that offers deep functionality for Canadian accounting firms and corporations looking to partially automate the tax filing process.
